Eh, the scratch marks have quit bleeding anyway. I stay away from Beano- prefer to let nature take its course.

.....Joe: That is a sad note, referring to Bob Seivers....Didn't know anything about his passing until I saw your mention of it. He went back a long way on WOWO.....50,000 watts, clear channel. Doesn't that station have that power {at night}, anymore....? I really don't listen to it at night but do hit it some in the morning for some nutty political talk. {Years ago I heard that station in Florida}....And of course we could easily get it in my home state of Pennsylvania {at night}...but WBZA...{not sure of those call letters}, Boston, was right next to it on the dial and it too had 50,000 watts.
Item: On the way to the barber shop this morning, I turned to 1190 on the dial, and it wasn't broadcasting...?? Was it shut down a few min. for Bob possibly....??

Joe, not sure I remember that D.J., but do remember listening to WOWO during my younger days.
Back then, all you had in your car (unless you were rich) were AM radios.
WOWO was/is a 50,000 watt "Clear Channel" station. I imagine a lot of people heard their broadcasts.
Sorry to hear about that loss.
Well, it looks like the to powers to be at Kalmbach already put new stuff into service on the forums.
Personally, I don't like it!
I may sound like an eeejut here but, whoat I miss?

She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
modelcar i think they toned down wowo's power.WLW in cincinnati still has all the hamsters cranking in the wheel though.yeah my first car had just an AM radio in it so wowo was great.they still read the tempratures for ft wayne off their famous fire escape.CW thanks for breakfast.need to eat and go relax.hey its friday today already!!!
Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
for anyone interested you can go to wowo's website and post a note for Bob.they even have a clip of the little red barn song.
Joe
Good Thursday morning, all!! Joe, sorry to hear about your all's loss up there. Not sure I ever listened to that station, here in Louisville. Sometimes, we could pick up other stations. Once in awhile, if the weather was really good, we could pull in The Grand Ole Opry from Nashville, but not very often.
Coffee, juices, tea and lemonade are ready. Have breakfast on the warmer bar: turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, homemade biscuits and sausage gravy, bear claws and bagels, watermelon, cantaloupe, and mushmelon.
You all have a good morning. We have a chance of getting some rain/thunder showers today and tomorrow. Not sure I like the 'new' look to the forums, but guess eventually, I'll get used to it.
On a side note, heard this morning that Luciano Pavaroti passed away in Rome early this morning.
...CW: The Grand Ole Opry station in Nashville would be WSM....not sure if they ever achieved 50,000 watts of broadcast power or not...
Yes, I've even heard WSM {of course at night or evening} here in Muncie...! Believe that was back when I had a '89 Beretta GT and it had {their best}, a stereo AM radio in it....Of course FM too. Kind of a rare item seems now....None of my vehicles {and they both have top of the line radios in them}, have AM stereo radio ability. In fact I don't even know if it is still broadcast...{AM stereo}...?? Anyone out there know....?
But the WOWO clear channel station could be heard all most all over the nation back then with 50,000 watts of power.
Could hear {over in Pennsylvania}, J's Nebraska neighhbor states station, Des Moines, Ia.

Quentin I was talking about my 65 Barracuda with only the AM radio. (not stero, which I think for AM radio is a joke.)
On a very good night, I used to get WSM, WOWO, WLS, WLW
and a few others....don't think I ever got WKRP in Cincinnati 'tho.
Joe,
I am also sorry to learn of Bob Seiver's death. I also grew up listening to WOWO and met Bob once at a record hop (anyone remember those?) at the Defiance County Fair in Hicksville. He was a great announcer and must have been in Ft. Wayne for close to 50 years. The radio business surely has changed during that time. Whether or not it is for the better is open for debate.
.....Walt, You probably could have picked up KDKA, Pittsburgh, Pa. too.....as it was a 50,000 watt station. {Actually, considered to be the first commerical broadcast station in America}. Believe in the mid '20's.
Yes, Walt, I understand what you are saying of all cars first just had AM capablity back "then". I'd have to think about when FM broadcasts were first commerically offered to us.....Hm.....Was it about 1946 or 47....That's the figure that is coming to me right now.
My '57 Corvette had the "wonder bar" radio....New for then....and it was just an AM radio. For any who aren't familiar, one just touched the bar at the radio and it looked for the next station avail up the line so to speak....Common now.
Just did a little checking and it looks like it might be back in the late '30's for first commerical FM broadcasts...Perhaps my home area got it's first FM broadcast transmitting equipment at the above dates I first mentioned....But it's my memory I'm trying to pull that out from....
WCKY, Cinn., Oh. was a powerful {AM}, one too....
afternoon
I got some paper towels to wipe mookies drool off the floor.another sticky day here in nw ohio.
hey John ever go watch trains at hicksville hill? I'm sure you have probably met matt and i somewhere around here.Cw thanks for supper.it's friday.
.....Yes, J......Wife Jean and I made our first trip to Florida...{from Pennsylvania}, clear down to Miami in it in '59.
The only trouble with the trip, we did it in the Summertime and it was too hot to drive with the top up.....and down. Once we were buzzing along on an open stretch and it started to rain, and I decided it was just one of Florida's patchy rains in the afternoon but....no....not that one, and we got soaked.
Didn't take very long to dry out though, in that heat....
Can you imagine, stayed right on Miami Beach, nice hotel, $11.00 / night....{off season}....Believe I remember seeing that room was 46 dollars {in season}.....What a difference time makes...!
Yes, it was all black, both tops....and red interior. Have a model of it sitting right here beside me along with pic's from {that trip}, here in the office / computer room....The concave back of the front wheel was silver. Traded it for a 1959 Chevy Impala convertible with 348 engine and 3...2's. Guess that's more than you care to know but it was a fun time with those cars.....
Quentin, they sure don't make cars like those now, do they?!?! Too bad, in my opinion!!
Since this is Thursday, it's our TUESDAY NIGHT PIZZA FEST. On tonight's menu:
1. Anchovie2. Cheese/w extra cheese3. Goetta4. Chicago style pizza5. Hawaiian6. Pepperoni/sausage/mushroom7. Supreme
There are two extra large of each of the seven kinds on tonight's menu.
Joe and Lance, your containers are in the fridge, as usual, w/your names on them.
Hope everyone enjoys the TUESDAY NIGHT PIZZA FEST and have a great evening!!
My late father, a reserve police officer, was working on New Years Eve one year and tuned into midnight celebrations in several time zones on the regular car radio.
I remember tuning into WBZ in Boston when I lived in MI. In the 60's it was a leading rock and roll station. Think that was the first time I heard a Beatles song.
Hawaiian and some sweet tea. I'll be over in the corner looking over some stuff about the "Peg Leg" Railroad in the Adirondacks. A friend of mine is pretty sure he's found evidence of it, which is pretty amazing, since it only existed for 4 years (1888-1892) and ran on wooden rails...
I was spinning through the channels tonight before I headed for the monthly fire meeting when I happened on the movie "Dukes of Hazzard." Although I've caught bits of that particular scene before, I just happened to notice this time that one of the lead characters was wearing a T-shirt that said "Chessie Steam Special."
.....No CW, not like that anymore but there are plenty of them around as many, many of them have been resurected and restored. I have often wondered if the one I had might be one of them and in someone's possession. Personally, I think that model was one of the nicest and sure is a popular model at car meets, etc....
There were only 6000 or 7000 of them {57's}, produced.
Good Friday morning to all. Coffee is ready, and fresh juices, tea and lemonade are also freshly made this morning.
There's all kinds of doughnuts, bagels and bear claws out on the counter this morning.
I won't be around until later this afternoon, so someone else with have to do the Friday Fish Fry for me. Have to go to the doctor, for a checkup and get the results from my pre-op tests they did a week or so ago. Can't even remember when I went!!
Q - My all time favorite - which I recently found sitting in a vacant lot for sale - was the 57 Chevy. Didn't hurt that the young man that drove it (I never really got to meet him, either) had what they called "bedroom eyes". The eyes, the young man and the car were all gorgeous.
My later years I had a '65 Ford Mustang convertible - red with white rag top and 69 Roadrunner - it was the roadrunner orange if you and Joe can believe that. I didn't pick the color, believe me!
And gas prices that I remember for the first time were 24.9.
The only other thing I have to offer this morning besides TGIF is that I heard Amtrak at 5:25 am and wonder why all whistles can't sound that good. Maybe people wouldn't be so alienated if they could hear a good Amtrak whistle at an early or late hour instead of those ear-shattering whistles on the newer locomotives!
Off to push some more paper. I am starting to feel like a recycle bin with all the paper they dump on my desk!
J
....J: I remember the first '57 Chevrolet I ever saw....it was the night before the new cars were released to the public.....The paper would come off the showroom windows and all the rest. We're missing something in auto land by not doing that anymore, but simply, it can't be done currently.
Different models are put out at anytime of the year now and we've lost the excitement of that day when the "new models" were put on display, etc....
J...I remember the roadrunner orange you speak of....
Anyway, back in probably Sept. or Oct. of '56 my brother and I went to this little Chevy dealer the night before {by invitation}, the new 57's were released and I still remember thinking....Wow....just a face lift from the 55's and 56's....and Ford is bringing out a brand new car for 57....How will Chevy compete....??
Well, we all know now the 57 is one of the most popular retro cars Chevrolet has ever produced....A 57 convertible or 2-door hardtop is now considered to be nothing but beautiful at car meets and all the rest.....
And so it goes.......
Anyway, J....that's my little expression to start my day on here....Hope your paperwork doesn't overwhelm today.

You sure had your share of sporty cars! Back when I first met Joanie, she was running around in an early '70s silver Mustang with the 302 V-8 in it- that car had some ooomph.
.....No question, our tastes varies in automobiles just like in anything....A very nice '62 SS all black Impala coupe then turned into a 1968 Chevy SS 427 Impala Custom Coupe....Good gasoline wasn't priced then as it is now....The one with the 3 vertical under hood vents {Imitation, but done at the factory}, on the fender right behind the front wheels....A slight "dome" on the hood was a distinction on them too....and some other "differences". Of course, the engine as well. The "rat motor".
Pretty rare....To this day I have seen just a dozen of them.
Brian - had some pretty car conscious men in my life that I could influence with what I liked in looks. The convertible also had a mate in an early 80's (the last year of the big ones) T-Bird - in "Lipstick Red". It was a choice between that and "Layaway Gray".....Big choice.
Q - remember the first Baby Moons and first Lake Pipes - well at least they were first with me back in that era.
I am dating myself ......
Mook, do you remember "Glasspack" mufflers on cars?
(and gas being about 25-30 cents per gallon? I know you and Q are a
bit older than me, but I remember those, (had Glasspacks on my 'Cuda)
and my first "portable radio" had tubes and used batteries you almost can't find today.)
