A nice clear, cold night. The Moon and Jupiter danced closely tonight...and Henry, our security guard has switched to the daytime shift. No more in depth sports conversations with the new guy...he hates Philadelphia teams. Oh well....c'est la vie...We peaked at 11:15 PM with 143 listeners while we aired the local band from the early 90's, The Age Of Reason. These new remasters of their 2 albums were like flashbacks to the old 'DBK days...and it sounded good to me. It felt great to show our listeners a brick to our foundation. They were our first local act we ever featured, and they were our first hosted concert at Bonnie's Roxx in Atco, NJ in 1992. Looking back...they were great days. I was a young stupid DJ back in 1991 that felt he was on to something but was unsure. Years have gone by since that first night, and thousands of discs and albums have come and gone...and though you remember many of them...there's always that one band that makes you realize what you have accomplished and how far you have come. This program ran 4 hours and 10 minutes.

Tonight was the 7th Annual Nearfest Special...Tonight Chad joined us to talk about the event in it's entirety including some nuggets from previous years. It was yet another classic show...but the big event comes in July when we broadcast live from Nearfest...This program ran 4 hours and 3 minutes.

Chilly again here in the Pines...a nice night though. A lot of cops out tonight. Yikes! Tonight stat wise, was our highest online listenership since the first week in January. We peaked at 11:00 with over 160 steady listeners peaking into 170 at 11:45. We closed out with Jimmy Smith And Wes Montgomery off the cuff. It was kind a magical in the studio...lights dimmed...almost like the night we did our Shawn Lane tribute. All my New England fans went out of their way to let me know the Eagles lost the Superbowl. Whatever. You didn't play that great. You would have thought the New England Patriots figured out the Middle East Peace Process with how they won the game. Dynasty? Dallas Cowboy's of the 90's, Niner's of the 80's...NY Giants of the late 80's....THOSE were dynasties. We will be there in the Superbowl when the Pats are in the basement of their division. On a lighter note, :) From time to time I get great emails from first time listeners. Here is another to add for this week.

It's nice to get these when you work all week hoping to get a rise so they can sit around their radio or computer and share with you what you have been pegging yourself with all week...the hope SOMEBODY liked it. I dedicated the show to my buddy Tim Kubit who is having another addition to their family soon! Congrats again you radio devil you....On a sadder note, we send a prayer out to our Livery staffer Big Bob Lovin on his recent loss. This program ran 4 Hours and 5 minutes.

Warmer than usual tonight...not just outside, but in the studio as well. Temp was up to about 81°F causing one of the disc players to stop 2x in 4 hours. I was shocked. Show went well, lots of calls. Listenership online spiked from 10:45 Eastern to 11:30 when we were averaging 140 online listeners. The peak was at 10:45 when we had 150 listeners when we aired SFF - Ticket To Everywhere. On a lighter note...18 hours till the Birds kick off for Superbowl XXXIX and I am pumped. My prediction is 31-10 Birds, but remember....it's the Eagles. If we win, I will be happy. If not, I have the Phillies to look forward too.
