Blatant Promotion

TOMORROW afternoon I’ve got my ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’. It’s a weekly tradition that’s been goin’ strong for the past 11 months now. That makes it the longest-running weekly series here on my blog. Be sure to be here as the Tuesday night blogging saga continues.

Late last night (with the conclusion of ‘Sunday Night Football’) I clinched another winning record with ‘My NFL Weekend Game Picks’. I’ll have ‘The Results Show’ on here on Wednesday night.

Thanks for blogging with me today, and I’ll leave you with these interesting pictures of some cool sheep that are actually made out of old recycled telephones and cords. Check it out:

Monday Night Countdown

This week’s countdown takes me back in time to the 1970s into the 1980s living in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs of Washington D.C.

These are my TOP 5 most memorable radio stations during that time-frame:

Honourable Mention – WPGC ‘AM & FM Morningside’ (TOP 40)

5.  Q-107 (WRQX, TOP 40) – It’s still WRQX today, but it’s MIX-107.3 (HOT A.C.)

4.  WAVA 105.1 – This was the D.C. area’s greatest TOP 40 station – EVER !

3.  WASH-FM (97.1) – This station hasn’t changed much during my entire lifetime. It’s the first FM station that I ever listened to (mid-1970s) because it’s what my Dad always listened to in his car while driving on the Beltway.

2.  WWDC AM 1260 – This was the very first radio station that I ever listened to as a little kid in Bowie Maryland with my very first radio. They were a TOP 40 station on the AM dial. You know – back when AM radio was far more popular than FM.

1.  WJOK AM 1150 – This was an innovative all-comedy radio station that pretty much lived (successfully) for a single year – 1983. I was totally in to this station 25 years ago, and I still have hours upon hours of old cassette tapes that I recorded of it while I listened to it. Long live those days and nights of Walt Howard, Evan Haning, Mike Morin, Brad Krantz, K. Michael Silva, and others.
