We always heard bass player Mike arrive at our Sledgehammer rehearsals before we saw him. Our basement on Summit Street was exposed on the east side of our one story home making that side of our house two stories. The driveway dipped down from the street to the garage on the lower level that […]
Are there unexplained things in the Universe? The short answer to this question would no doubt be, “Ummm, yeah!” and judging by the number of “Unexplained this” and “Paranormal that” programs that dot the airwaves, the unknown is doing a healthy business. Toss in books, magazines, movies, and a zillion web pages devoted to […]
When WOAS-FM 88.5 celebrated being on the air for 30 years back in 2009, we asked current and former staffers to send us stories and recollections about their time volunteering at the station. We got more than we had anticipated, so we published a few highlights and posted the rest on a bulletin board for […]
WOAS-FM Celebrates 40 Years on the air – UPDATE How does one serve cake and ice cream to 300? Easy – find five willing volunteers who jump in feet first and get it done – THANK YOU so much to (l-r) Paige Weisinger, Caden Cleland, Kati Dombraski, Dominique Hamm, and Ailee Graff for making our […]
We last checked in with Little Steven (Van Zandt) back in early 2018 (FTV: 2-7-18) when we reviewed his second album with his ‘other band’, The Disciples of Soul.

These days, I would update my summation to: “Yeah, we have HEARD music with his fingerprints all over it, we just didn’t know it was him.” Now thanks to an […]
My newest set of glasses are a tad wider than my last pair so I was a little shocked to look in the mirror one day and see two scars on the outside corner of my left eyelid. I also noticed a third right below my lower lip. I guess what startled me is […]
Have you ever felt snake bit? We had two Ford Taurus Wagons, drove them for twenty years, and then they stopped making them. That is okay, we said, our kids drove the same Mercury Sable through 8 years of college….we liked it, we can get one of those….and they stopped making them! We were just […]
It is probably a bit misleading to use ‘U-2’ as a title because with the musical vein of the majority of the FTV articles, it will make one think instantly of Bono and the boys. With that said, it can also trigger a different memory for those who follow aviation circles. A fan of […]
If you are not a hardcore Star Trek fan, then you have no reason to recognize the name Bjo Trimble. If you are a red (or perhaps green) blooded Trekkie, then you probably already know that she is the woman who saved the program from being canceled after its second season. She had a […]
