DJ Debbie D

I like to preview Tom Hanks doing his “Songs From the Back of the Station Wagon” show on Boss Radio 66. It’s Debbie Daughtry’s station, so of course she also does occasional gigs. Like this one from yesterday. It’s an hour of Debbie playing an exceptionally good, eclectic selection of records.

Turkey Landing

Colleen Doran used this WKRP clip on her Facebook page today, so I’ll use it too.

When WKRP came on TV, I had Les Nessman’s job at the radio station where I worked.

Jan Smithers immediately joined Jane Pauley and Lindsay Wagner as a Seventies TV favorite.

Seriously Sirius

Can you hear me chortling with giddy glee? SiriusXM support has been added to the Lyrion Music Network.

This has been a topic of chat for a while on the community forum, and now, here it is. Even without an official SXM API to work with. Shout it out loud, these Lyrion guys are AWESOME!

The Cuts of His JIB

I am confident that no radio station, anywhere in the world, plays music from as many decades, excluding Classical, as John Garabedian’s Boston-based WJIB. Click play and you will agree.
