December 21, 2009

On this last blog, before Christmas, I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season as well as heartfelt hope for a healthy and prosperous 2010.
May it be better, for all of us, than 2009 was.

I like the show for this week. There are two weeks worth of birthday guests, quite a few "new" tunes and even a few surprises. I've had fun putting the show together and I hope y'all enjoy the result.

There are a few doubles. The Tempts show up with Eddie's birthday (never a bad thing), Herb Johnson and The Impacts get a double spin with Bobby Eli on guitar. Herb was Bobby's first "pro" gig and led to his introduction to Kenny Gamble. That started a whole lot of good things for the music business and Bobby.

Anytime an artist can get 3 Number 1's, on any chart, off a single album it's a terrific achievement. To do it off the debut CD says a great deal about the artist.
Rhonda McDaniel accomplished this with "Rhonda McDaniel". Falling, Why Am I Crying and Left With A Broken Heart all made it to the top spot. FNST will be playing "Falling" this week.

Our promotional/advertising director, Ginger, tracked down a "new" Billy Scott tune and Daddy C turned me onto a group called "Smokin' With Superman". I have no clue what the name means but the bass player is unreal!

I'd also like to thank "Pocketful O' Soul" for the drop-ins. It's great having the artists we play on FNST actually do plugs for the station. Shades, Don thank you.

Take care of yourselves and each other.
