*doin' old fat guy happy dance* What? This isn't a visual you needed to take you through the week? (here's a secret: it's not high on my list, either) Anyway, Happy May! Spring has finally arrived on the "frozen tundra". I actually cut the grass, the Tulips are beginning to bloom and the Lilac trees have buds.

This week's show has some good birthday artists. In fact, the entire month is loaded with talent. There are some interesting ear worms from Miss Ginger; just a couple of things she picked up on terrestial radio as she made the long drive home from York. We have horns, 'retha, beach music and some choice cuts of soul. Musically it's a great two hours, if I do say so myself.

Have a great week and remember to catch the repeats on Wednesday's and Saturdays.

One more thing: Do us a favor, especially you regular listeners. Last weekend RJ heard a song that was way above the normal volume for the station. Only problem is, he doesn't remember which song it was. With over 2,300 tunes on the playlist neither one of us wants to do a full sound check for each song, soooooooooo if you hear something that's way louder than it should be, please drop us a note. Thank you.

The last week of April and it's finally getting warmer up nawth.
It can't happen soon enough for my tastes.

This week's show has Wilson Pickett, Tower of Power, The Coupe De Villes, Dee Dee Sharp
and two tunes by Jere Hetrick. There's lots more but that was off the top of my head. Oh, there's also Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. (not sure my dad would forgive me if I left them out)

Y'all can breathe a sigh of relief; there are no jokes. But, there are a few tunes with The Funk Brothers playin' their.........well, you know.

Anyway, enjoy the show and have a great week.

I guess it's "world tour" time. This week we're visiting the Islands, Holland, Great Britain and Australia as well as central Pennsylvania, the Carolina's, and a few other places. It should be fun and far more danceable than the travel movies they used to show in grade school. (anybody but me remember those?) There are some talented people on the "Birthday Artist" list and we have a few requests. Since it's also the middle of the month, or close enough, Barb, Ginger and Crys get to hear Elvis. Enjoy the show and have a great week.

Man what a busy and great weekend. Class Act and Class of 60 Somethin' put on a great show! I had the chance to catch up with lots of people. I danced and my knees are tellin' me that isn't the best plan! It was great to see Chuck Ronemus, Grace, Mike Leash, everybody from Class of 60 and even found time for a brief visit with Dave and Wanda Bupp. The next "Party" is October 29th and if y'all can find the time to fit it in, I strongly recommend you find your way to York, Pennsylvania. I'm tellin' you, the dance floor was packed all night! The place was in a groove. I wish I'd had the pooter set up to record the thing. Anyway, have a great week. I'm off to find more pain pills. My knees ain't used to this.

How about some birthday wishes? April 3rd (yesterday) Rita Angelucci of Class Act. April 5th (tomorrow) Dave Bupp. I'm playing a bit of Dave on the show (Rita, too) as always. They've been my friends for more years than any of us want to think about and, Lord knows, they're two of the most talented people I've ever heard. The rest of the show is pretty darn good. I think the two hours flies by. Of course I'm a bit prejudiced. BTW, the mail box is looking kind of empty. Send us your thoughts and if you know someone having trouble getting FNST to play, please tell us. We can probably talk them through the problem. Most times it's a configuration problem, one little check mark can make everything all better.
