KFOG's 10@10 / 16 Nov 2011: a "classic" from 1987

« on: November 16, 2011, 10:07:43 AM »

I wasn't paying very good attention, so I don't know if it's a repeat or not.  But since nobody else stepped up...

Track 1:  TP, Jammin' Me.  BOS.

11 tunes that need to be played to 11.  Get your requests in!

Reminds me of the J. Geils album note:  "Made loud to play loud".

In Memoriam, Happy Birthday / RIP Petey Wheatstraw

Actually, Pete Amos, a friend from the old days.  But his nickname was Petey Wheatstraw -- google that, for the reference.  Fair warning:  not for the easily offended.  Rudy Rae Moore, need I say more?

RIP, Pete.

This is pretty cool.  I was just going through a game from '84, and was doing better than I typically do these days.

In Memoriam, Happy Birthday / RIP Eric (My Friend)

« on: August 30, 2010, 09:17:46 AM »

Got news yesterday that an old friend killed himself Saturday night.  Trying to deal with several conflicting emotions.  He was in a good deal of financial difficulty, was supposed to pack up and "walk away" from his house in Arizona on Sunday, and move back to the Bay Area to live with his sister.  Guess he couldn't deal with all of that.  Really great guy, full of life and laughter.  I don't get it.  RIP, my friend.
