By now, no one will be surprised in the slightest when I say, “I did not get to do a recap of the sixteenth edition of the Porcupine Mountain Music Festival in 2020 or 2021.” The idea of events, both major and minor, being canceled was a great disappointment to both fans and musicians. […]
While recounting the saga of former Eagles guitarist Don Felder (FTV: Don Felder 11-20-19), we discussed the hot musical ‘coasts’ that existed in the 1960s. New York City and California were considered the east and west coast hotbeds of musical activity. Eventually we added Florida to the mix citing names like Felder, Tom Petty, […]
WOAS-FM Wraps Year WOAS-FM will wrap up the COVID influenced 2020-2021 broadcast year at the end of June. We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who helped fund our transmitter repair last fall and the students who jumped on board for the second semester of what turned out to be a most unusual […]
When searching for ideas for these written ramblings called ‘FTV’, I periodically feel the cosmic wheels spinning when inspiration pops an idea into my brain. The way my mind works, a tune, a fragment of a memory, a photograph, or a bit of stray conversation can plant the seed of a topic for consideration. […]
Saturday 12-12-20 Update – turns out the problem isn’t so serious with the audio – the last power failure reset the new server to the ‘default’ which is the webcam camera – thanks to Lee’s sharp eared brother for pointing out he could hear us talking in the studio even though the board audio was […]
Last medical update – Daniel’s vision is back to 20/20 with his glasses on…after traveling absolutely no where since early March, the sudden need to put 1500 miles under our belt was necessary, but we are still glad to be past it! Thank goodness the mild November and early December weather made the three trips […]
My annual ritual of summarizing the backstage events of the Porcupine Mountain Music Festival dates back more than a dozen years. I was organizing some of the articles that I keep filed chronologically, so naturally I started re-reading some of these ghosts of PMMFs past. With the COVID-19 pandemic scuttling our favorite local festival this […]
Thought it only right to add a clip of Peggy James’ digital single Hard Times – so to just make the point again, I found out that the machine hosting our webpage, weather station, audio, and video feeds is toast…such is life. Intrepid techie Paul is pretty much having to start from scratch with the new machine, […]
How are you doing? I have been contemplating the world and looking for something to post on the WOAS-FM.ORG website to provide hope for the future. I was thinking, “What we need is an anthem for 2020 – something that tells the story of these last strange months but leaves the door open a […]
It just goes to show that you are never too young to be a fan of WOAS-FM. Thanks to Helen and Donnie Domitrovich for loaning us Eva, Emma, and Thomas for a photo-op and for Ringo gracing us with his song about the same subject!
