How many times have you turned on WGNA and wanted to know what song we were playing?

You seem to hear a lot of criticism lately about everything in general, and the good old cable company in specific.  Well, you won't hear any whining from me.  Not after yesterday!

How many times have you called a business and have been asked to press a certain key on your phone to speak with someone in a certain department of that business?

I happened upon another blog today written by a guy at our sister station, Q103. The odd thing about it is I read the blog and I felt weird that I didn't agree with him at all. It's about a woman who writes her future daughter in law a "rude" e mail and it gets out on the web. BJ, the author of the blog (and our traffic guy on the Sean and Richie show) thinks that this is a very mean e m

OK - I'm guilty of being Mr. Obvious I guess, but I was just thinking about this yesterday, and I wanted to share my obviousness (?) with you.  It's the old quality vs convenience argument

Talk about a trip down memory lane. Back in the 80s, I remember when a couple of friends of mine were the first to buy a home computer. When they told me about it, I asked them why. They told me because they could do some personal stuff on it, like writing letters or maybe categorizing music lists. I chuckled and said "I don't know why you really need one."

Poor afternoon WGNA personality Jake Thomas.  As former President Bill Clinton would say, "I feel his pain".  In one of Jake's recent blogs he was lamenting over the fact it was the beginning of lawn mowing season.  He was looking to purchase a riding mower.  Dumb move, Jake.  Takes up too much room in the garage.  Plus, you have to go out there and actually sit on it.  There's a better

There are many people out there that love social media, i.e. Facebook.  Many, many, many, many people.  Why then do I always seem to meet people (mostly fellow baby boomers)  who put this new fangled technology down?

Remember the days of rifling through your living room shelves to find a great CD to play?  Or maybe you'd buy one of those plastic tree stands with the slots in it  that stores 200 of the latest and greatest Country CDs that feature music you heard on WGNA?  Can you say OLD SCHOOL?-

Scouting was a part of my growing up, and, although I'm sure I resisted going to all of the meetings, I ended up enjoying learning how to do important things like CPR and tying knots (I still remember how to make a sheepshank---anybody?).

Vinyl Records.  Those were those round things with the hole in them that were placed on a spinning round turntable thingy.  Anybody???   We almost threw ours out at the radio station, but cooler heads prevailed, I guess--THANK GOD!! I guess feelings of nostalgia are signs that you are old (getting there), but I really miss albums...
