We have another show done and another month has passed. It'll be two years of FNST coming up, soon. That's simply blowing my mind.
What started as a conversation between the Techie Gnome and me, at 70+ miles per hour, on the way to North Carolina has not only become a reality but it lasted this long. Amazing.
We're growing, folks. (not just my waistline) However, I still need your help, spreading the word. Get your friends to listen, if they tell even more people, things will happen.
To all the folks who dropped by this week, it was great seeing the different locations. We're world wide and that thrills me. Now, if y'all would just write..................
Be good to each other, and keep listening

PAUL NEWMAN1925 - 2008
This is the way I will remember Paul, for this is the way I actually met the man.
At Watkins Glen, June 1979.
He was gracious, funny and one hell of a competitor.
If he'd decided to turn to racing, instead of acting, P.L. would have been a champion in whatever he drove.
I took a picture that weekend. Paul sitting on the grid, waiting to go onto the track.
When he saw the camera pointed at him, he flipped me the bird. I think I was laughing harder than he was.
So many memories.
Thank you, Paul. Not just for the films and charity work. Thank you being a terrific human being.

September 22, 2008
Welcome to the first day of fall (if you're in the northern hemisphere).
Tonight's show features friends. Some I mentioned, some I should have thanked.
For The Magnificent Men, Class Act featuring Rita, and Class Of 60 Somethin', we've all known each other for so many years it's past friendship. We're family.
Mark Cassara, I'm waiting for that new CD to be finished. Hoping you're doing some R&B on it as well as jazz.
Lex Byer, of The Coupe De Villes, I wish we'd managed to hook up at a car show, over the summer. There just didn't seem to be any time. Maybe next summer?
Ginger Oldham, thank you, again, for the loan of the records. I'm getting them recorded, slowly.
Also, a huge hug for all you continue to do spreading the word on the station.
Marjo, thank you for listening in Holland and for turning me on to a great song. Every time we play Candy Dulfer, you cross my mind.
Paul Cockburn, it may be "dinosaur music" but it still beats hell out The Monkees P~~~~
To everybody tuning in, thank you from the bottom of my heart. FNST was brought to life because we wanted this music to be heard and enjoyed. As we approach our second anniversay, it's growing, because of our listeners.

September 10, 2008
The following appeared in response to an article from Channel 13 News in Norfolk, Virginia. I have no idea who “C-Lynn” is but he/she certainly has the right idea regarding the presidential contest. It truly should be about the issues and who is more qualified to address them.
“Everyone seems to forget that not one of the four candidates have experience at being Commander in Chief BECAUSE neither of the four have been Commander in Chief.
McCain is NOT the only person in America that has ever been a POW and that does not give him an "I SHOULD BE PRESIDENT" pass. When he chose to attend a military school and was commissioned, that became HIS CHOSEN OCCUPATION. He only did what my son is doing now. The American people DON'T owe him anything. He served and he was paid for each and every day that he served. I am sure each and every check that he received from his days of service were spent and not given to the American people. What he was owed, he received--his freedom and the ability to return to this free world and get a job like everyone else. The ones who are owed are those who DID NOT RETURN. The ones who are owed are those who DIED IN SERVICE TO THIS GREAT COUNTRY.
He is no more qualified to be President than Obama, Palin or Biden. To be qualified for a job, you must have been in that position. Have they? NO... So let's get beyond this and get back to what matters--THE ISSUES. Or are we going to allow the media to keep us occupied thinking about "lipstick on a pig" comments USED BY BOTH PARTIES, "lipstick on a bulldog", pregnant teenagers, action figures, flipflop ties to the Bridge to Nowhere, sexism claims, racism claims, etc.?
LET'S GET BACK TO THE ISSUES--this failing economy, the high price of gasoline, the energy crisis, the need for affordable healthcare, our substandard education system, the high rate of unemployment, the inevitable continuance of house foreclosures, this USELESS war which was based on the pride of our current Commander in Chief….. Shall I continue?”

September 8, 2008 Show
Tonight's show is ready. Most of it recorded at my "new" studio desk. It's kind of neat having a table top 40" off the floor. Makes me stand up to do the voice work which means I breathe properly.
How many of you watched the "Stand Up 2 Cancer" program last Friday? It was on all three networks and they did a great job of raising cancer awareness.
Did you know that most of cancer research in this country is privately funded? Did you also know that the funds are limited? Feel like you, individually, can't do anything to help?
Well, guess what? You can help!
It doesn't take a lot. How about contributing $5.00? There are nearly 300 million people in this country. If we could come up with $5.00 per person that brings in $1,500,000,000. dollars. (1.5 billion)
I kicked in $100.00. That more than covers my wife, kids and grandkids. Now, how about the rest of you?
Here's the link.

Just think, your donation just might be the money that finds a cure.
As a cancer survivor, I thank you.
