WOAS news and history
Searching for an article to reference, I realized that the list has gotten a bit out of hand. Here is the CHRONOLOGICAL LISTING of FTV articles through 2016 (with 2017 being added to as time goes on) to make it easier to find past articles I may reference from time to time (who was it that […]
From the Vaults: Hendrix lives on Newsflash: I am no longer mad at Jimi Hendrix for dying the week before my 17th birthday. I am also no longer concerned that so many young rock stars flamed out at age 27, which by sheer coincidence happens to be the number of the day I was born. […]
Okay. His name was really Dwight Kater, but every time I listen to the band Chicago, I think back to Dwight, therefore, Dwight Chicago is how I remember him. When Dwight and his family first came to Marquette, they lived in the faculty housing units on Center St. two blocks from my house and halfway […]
First up I have to apologize for getting caught in a time warp. The events in Part 1 of this tale took place in 2015, not 2014 as listed. Einstein may have been right about the relativity of time, but a year is a pretty large faux pas in the fabric of time and space. […]
Those of you who follow the ramblings of From the Vaults probably already know that the West Coast Bureau consisting of Elizabeth, Todd, Don Juan and Emma relocated from Los Angeles to Eugene, OR in May of 2015.

Having heard the Ontonagon High School school song enough times, I absolutely can not remember the school song from my days at Marquette Senior High. I do remember that it wasn’t just a converted college anthem reworked for our school but it had actually been written by my first high school band […]
E-Mail? Sure. It is pretty much a necessity in my main job and my side gig as the manager of WOAS-FM. Twitter? Nope. I don’t Twitter. As for (feel free to insert any social media outlet of your choice here), I don’t do that (or them) either. I do get sucked into watching […]
If there is a lead singer in rock whose career arc is eerily similar to the pro football career of Brett Favre, it would have to be David Coverdale. English by birth he now holds dual US/English citizenship and resides in Reno, Nevada. Coverdale is remarkably well preserved for a 64 year old rock […]
The fateful day that Ray (the Human Jukebox, guitar player, vocalist) called to tell me that he was mustering out of the Air Force hit me like a ton of bricks. He said that he would be heading back to his old stomping grounds in southern Illinois in early May so his last band jobs […]
