I had to identify the mystery artist from these clues: "Started as the Blue Velvets in the East Bay. 1 top 40 hit was a cover. Played Woodstock."  This was easy since they'd tweeted the clues much earlier and it's pretty easy to Google "Blue Velvets".  I won Creedence Clearwater Revival's first 6 CDs.  I don't think I had any of them, so that's pretty good.

Nice work!  I wouldn't have known that one without looking it up.  Enjoy!

So, now that "Use Somebody" has won the Record of the Year Grammy... does that mean it'll be in heavy rotation for another 6 months?  Shoot me now.

After years of dreaming of winning requestorama, I won this morning. (Graham Nash) I requested Peter Green's Supernatural, just like I always wanted, and they said they couldn't find it, and did I have a second choice.  When it was replayed on the radio, my original request was snipped out!

Damn, I had to leave the house just before they must've played you. What was the answer, BTW?

They do that kind of editing all the time, and I used to be astonished at just how quickly Dave could do it.  

Do you all recall the X-mas Card set? It featured a greeting from my son & me, and Annalisa said, "Hey Adrian, you ROCK!" and then he could be heard replying, "You too."  Well, Adrian & I were quite (pleasantly), surprised because she never said that to us on the phone.  She'd said Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, and Adrian said "You too" in response to that.  That phone call had started out as a request for a b-day set for Adrian, but which she wasn't going to be able to do it as the day before was her last before her vacation, so she suggested that a X-mas Card greeting from us would be the next best thing.  I guess that on reflection she figured that wasn't really good enough, so she edited the call to give Adrian the shoutout.

I'm guessing it's Irish Greg who does a lot of the editing these days. But yeah, it's quite quick -- the fact that it's all done digitally probably helps (no more cutting and splicing tape like I used to do back in the day).

A new feature, apparently: "KFOG's 33 1/3" -- requests played off vinyl between 3 and 4 pm.
