The last Monday of the 9th month. Where has the year gone?
It's a nice show, this week. Some interesting birthdays and great tunes.
I'm still purging some tunes from the master playlist.
The Techie Gnome is doing the hard part, digging through the hard drive putting stuff to sleep. It's getting there and we have far fewer "groove killers".
A thank you and happy birthday to Ike Bowers.
He helped with this weeks show by giving me 5 of his favorite songs.
A couple had me searching but I got all of them!
For those of you who don't know, Ike's a former member of The DelChords and a member of Class of 60 Somethin'.
The tunes he picked took me back a lot of years and brought back some great memories.
I hope they do the same for you.
I'm getting ready for vacation in three weeks..........I need my ocean fix.
Have a great week.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY IKE! (October 2)

"No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick."
I don't normally let my personal feelings or politics enter this blog. I don't think most of the readers come here to listen to me rant and rave, they simply want to know what's coming on this weeks' show. That being said, the opening line speaks volumes on what is a serious problem in the United States of America.
For all the arguments about "we can't afford this", let me remind you that we spent 12 Billion dollars a month on an unjustified war in Iraq. Think about that. We can go into debt to kill but we can't spend money to improve life in our own country?
If one of your congressmen or senators are helping block the health care and health insurance reform we need, I ask you to write them. Object to their actions and to the stranglehold the health insurance companies have on this country.
As Wilford Brimley said about something else; "It's the right thing to do."
Enjoy this weeks' show. I had fun making it :-)

Let me see, here. Where to begin?
This week I have new music and new artists for FNST Radio.
The Ambassadors, from Lancaster Pennsylvania, join us.
So does a man named Mayer Hawthorne, thanks to "the Professor" tuning me onto the guy.
Mr. Hawthorne is a unique blend. A little Motown, a little Philly and it all seems to work for him.
The Ovations pay a visit and there's a new, old, tune by the Impressions. Our birthday guests return, after a few weeks sabbatical and, of course, The Magnificent Men, Class of 60 Somethin' along with the "Carolinas Gang" join the party.
There's no "Request Night" this month. Things have been hectic and not just for me. The e-mail is looking pretty empty as well. Hopefully, things pick up for October.
The "Techie Gnome" and I have purged the playlist, one more time, and right now the station has almost 6 full days of non-repeat music on the random playlist. For our long term listeners, I'm sure you remember when we were thrilled to get 12 hours. We're tweaking things a bit, still not sure where it's headed but I look forward to beginning our third full year of bringing you the finest music there is. (imagine........three years, wow!)
Have a great week and thank you for stopping by.

In the U.S. this is Labor Day weekend. The time to celebrate the American worker (assuming you can find the ones still employed). It, also, marks the end of "summer". This past few days the weather has already started to cool in the northern part of the country.
This week we're taking at look at a group from Memphis; The Ovations. These guys were super and the lead singer sounds so much like Sam Cooke it's almost scary.
Of course, we'll visit the Carolinas with Angel Rissoff, CWB, The Embers, Rhonda McDaniel, etc. and go back "home" with Class of 60 Somethin', The Magnificent Men, Class Act featuring Rita and Custer's Last Band.
There are some "new" songs, some old favorites and even a surpise :-)
Have a safe weekend and enjoy the last of Summer 2009.
