February 2, 2009

Hey Y'all, wanna know what's on the show this week?

First of all, Feb. 2nd is Buddy King's birthday. Not only is he a talented singer and song writer, he's been a friend for almost 45 years. So, I get to play a few of his songs. (It is my show)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUDDY!

We also have The Temptations, O'Jays, Embers, Coupe De Villes, Chaka Kahn, Donny Gerrard,
Johnny Maestro, Tommy Lepson, Class Of 60 Somethin', Precisions, The Unifics, King Curtis and Santa Fe & The Fat City Horns to name some of the guests on the show. (DEEP BREATH)

We'd like to thank everyone who stopped by this past month. There is a drop in mentioning some of the places we were heard. We don't see all of the ISP's but FNST is growing. Thank you for spreading the word.

Well, it's done. The last Monday of the month is ready for prime time, sorta.

It's a lot of music, for two hours. Not too many birthday guests, but some new songs for the Techie Gnome to add to random rotation.

If you missed the show, these are some of the artists you didn't get to hear.
100 Proof (Aged In Soul): Billy Stewart: The Impressions: Coupe De Villes: Magnificent Men: The Radiants: Bobby "Blue" Bland: Jonny Lang: Mark Cassara: Craig Woolard: The Temptations: Los Lonely Boys: Al Green and Willie Hutch.

Next week's show is lookin' good. We have some great birthday guests and more "new" tunes.
I hope y'all can join me.

Dr. King & President Obama




It's two special days. A national holiday to honor one of the giants of the 20th Century and the Inauguration of The United States first black President.

In just 55 years we've gone from the silliness of "colored" only drinking fountains and the travesty of "separate but equal", to a nation that may, finally, be ready to fulfil it's destiny.

There have been some detours and rough road, along the way, but this country seems alive with enthusiasim. It's a refreshing change.

Have a great week, everybody

January 12, 2009

This week's show has already aired, for the first time, as I write this.

It's on at 3:00pm Eastern Standard Time so it shows up in Great Britain at 8:00pm. FNST repeats this show, as well as the "Techie Gnome's" Thursday show, at 8:00pm and 11:00pm Eastern Standard Time. This allows the western part of the United States and Canada to listen in their prime time. If you're in Western Europe (and we're seeing a lot of those ISP's)
you can adjust accordingly.

Next week, January 19th, is a national holiday in the U.S. honoring Dr. King. We'll be doing our part so be sure to stop by. I think you'll enjoy the show.

Take care of yourselves and each other.

Do You Want to Know A Secret?

Actually, it's more of a two part request/information.

We know we have more listeners that our logs are showing. Shoutcast and even the stat counter on this blog are not accurate.

If your system is set up so you can surf without being seen, the counters do not pick you up when you listen to the station. Sooooooooooo, do us a favor, please. When you visit FNST, come in through the "Listen" page of the site. It makes the Techie Gnome, and me for that matter, happy to actually see listeners. We don't really care where you're from, just that you're actually here, listening.

By the way, did you know that it's easy to listen to FNST Radio and continue to do other things on your computer? All you need to do is minimize the Winamp or Windows Media Player and keep on trucking. The music continues as you do other things, honest.

Any questions? Drop us an e-mail and we'll try to help. (he's called "Techie Gnome" for a good reason)

Thank you.
