We only have one more week until the elections..........thank goodness.
I'm tired of the commercials, accusations and constant "talking heads".

Tonight's show is free of all that stuff. Just music, birthdays and history.

Next week, about November 5th, FNST Radio will celebrate two years on the air!!

I'm pretty proud of this, even if the listener base hasn't grown as much as I'd like.
Thank you to everyone who tunes in, drops us an e-mail, etc.

Take care of yourselves and each other.

Levi Stubbs

June 6, 1936 - October 17, 2008

This should have been posted on the 17th but I was out of touch. Vacations will do that to you.

I have great memories of Levi and "the Tops". He was such a tremendous force in the music of our youth.

In 1966 we finished a gig at Palisades Park and drove like madmen back to Harrisburg because the Tops were playing that night at The Raven. Nevermind that it had to be 120 degrees on that stage and the fried chicken didn't sit well. The Tops put on one hell of a show.

1967 saw The Magnificent Men and The Four Tops playing in Asbury Park New Jersey. Then we headed to New York to do the Jerry Lewis Telethon, the year before it went nationally. (timing is everything) It was a terrific weekend.

When my daughter was little, maybe 10, one of her first concerts (besides Class Act featuring Rita) was the Tops at Finger Lakes Performing Arts Center. I can still see this little blonde asking her mother, "Can I get up?".

The next thing I know she's at the rail, dancing for all she's worth to "Reach Out", etc.

Thank you, Levi. For all the music and the memories

Here we are, the seasons changing again. It doesn't really seem possible but the cool (40F) mornings say it's so.

By this time, next week, I'll be kicked back on the beach.
It's time for our yearly vacation and we all need it.
It's been a trying year.

If the station crashes it'll stay down until the 20th.
We'll be too far away to do anything about it.
Hopefully, that won't happen and y'all can enjoy the music, as always.

Keep watching the news, try to keep a sense of humor and hope.

BTW, saying a small prayer for good weather in North Carolina is allowed.
