Hey Tom, Scott, folks. Wait, this sounds like the riff from Spinal Tap's "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight".

Hey mariano - Bohannon sadly passed away a few weeks back - been getting some FMU love for sure...

ultrad - my brother has been living in DC since the early 80s - saw Trouble Funk for free on the Mall visiting more than once...such a blast.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:21am
Scott Williams:

Tom, I heard this Trouble Funk in a dollar store way back at the beginning of the pandopalypse and it was my first happy moment - that's twice this year for this song!

I remember being there on New Years 84 and seeing one of the strangest bills of my life John Schneider and The Weather Girls.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:22am
mariano:

Damn, ultradamno, that's a great flyer. Trouble Funk and Minor Threat on the same bill [Homer Simpson salivation sound].

Scott..nice! Trying to bring some joy (and dancing!) - thanks for running the board at Studio A as always...
Avatar 12:26am
Joe B:

can't say I ever heard john schneider's music but I seem to recall he had a legit country career in the 80s, as opposed to most actors' records as novelty items
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:30am

He would have been pushing "Too Good To Stop Now" at the time, which if nothing else, makes a strong statement in favor of demin www.discogs.com...

Oh man Tom, so sorry to hear you won't be on this summer! Guess I shouldn't have sent in all those complaints... Seriously though, hope you're back soon!

Me too, I like this show a lot.

Not to belabor the point, but DotDash Radio seems PERFECT for summer!!
Avatar 12:45am
ToTetsu:

Oh that sucks. Is the summer schedule published anywhere?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:46am
ultradamno:

Is The Blind Tourist taking the summer off again too? Given the news of the spike in cases in South Korea I may need this stuff in the coming months.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:46am
TomDash:

Thanks folks, schedule starts June 8th and not officially published yet...been a great ride filling the slot for Zoe when she had to bail in December. Got one more show next week and we shall see for future...

News made even sadder in the knowledge that Ken traditionally sends DJs subject to such a decision to...a farm upstate where they can run and play.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:56am

Shhh! Don't mention the farm!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:58am

hahah TomDash way to go keep your wits & your eyes on the prize = ))

the farm? I guess that story about Chris M heading off to Guam was just a ruse..

Thanks Joe, rhett...appreciate it - where's this farm? How come I'm the last to know???

You'll probably be asked to look at something interesting in the parking lot or behind Monty Hall first, then you'll be on your way.

mariano:

Had the best experience in September when I was in England. Took an 8-mile hike through the Sussex countryside that begins with a 1.5-mile uphill walk, a real slog, but when you get to the top you have the rolling hills of Sussex at your feet, the Channel gleaming in the distance, view of the Isle of Wight. Anyway, I'd snuck over a bit of green and when I got to the top of the hill I had a nice toke and listened to "Fearless", was so perfect especially because of the lyrics about hill climbing.
