WXCI-FM studio, WCSU memorial hall around 1990

Warning - it's 3 minutes you'll never get back... on the other hand - its a quirky jerky trip through the student center in 1990...

Posted Pictures

Thanks for posting the pictures Rich (and a big thankee to Hugh for taking them)

Kinda ironic that my picture was with Jim Dyer. Jim took my yearbook picture way back in 1973 when he was yearbook Editor, and yep, my pic was taken right in the WXCI studio.

Since I was an English major for several math-challenged reasons, I can unequivocally state that there are only three hundred forty-something shopping days until WXCI's 37th birthday celebration. Be there or be square. Aw hell, maybe being square is cool again these days. I have no idea...

Sorry I missed Greg and some of the other folks I might have once remembered, and again, thanks to Hugh and the current WXCI staff for having us all pull the wagons into a circle (which according to an old Firesign Theatre album is the way to get better reception).

Super cool Photo bonuses!!!!

Yup... you too can have a bonus - and one that nobody will be banging on your door to return...

Well at least one hopes not...

Can you believe it - I'm posting photos of the most recent anniversary / alumni broadcast day - and a whole month hasn't even passed by.

(many thanks to Hugh for being the shutterbug)

Hope everyone had a swell time.

Just so you know - The podcast is currently on hiatus - I think you can still access the thing - not sure how long.

I'll do what I can to start it up again and update it with new material at a new location - I've got old tapes and airchecks and all sorts of stuff I could upload - just haven't had the time to fiddle with.

Unfortunately, due to legal issues and record company cops - I don't think I have the permission to publish any tunes we used to play - so that means I can only include the talk-overs. Editing that takes time... so that's why I hadn't put loads of stuff up in the past.

So until I sort out all that nonsense - enjoy THIS nonsense.

The day after

On the day of - Hugh said he'll send comments and pictures soon.

Speaking of comments.

RIP Paul Harvey.

He never broadcast from a WXCI microphone, but I'll bet it's one of the few things he regretted not doing.

r

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY WXCI!

36 years.

Is that right?

All sorts of things going on at the station for alumni, current members and listeners.

Tune in - Turn it up - Rip off the knob

Washington's Birthday Bash

Starting back in '88 or '89 (and until at least 1994), a bunch of us (myself, Louis Wahl, Rudi Hauser, Mike Wright, Pam Meister and others) got together each year about this time and did an all night Saturday broadcast in (what we said was) honor of Washington's Birthday.

Perhaps this was just a lame excuse to broadcast all night (WXCI used to sign off at midnight or 2am back then) - perhaps the fact that most folks were off that Monday and after 2am we could break format (within reason) were bigger factors... but hey we had fun and we taped many of them.

So I'm thinking that my contribution will be along the lines of an edited 20 year old vintage cassette broadcast of WXCI in the day.

GASP... is it really 20 years????

Rich

Shameless

I'm really sorry I'm going to have to miss out this year.

I will be wielding my stratocaster at Archie Moore's in Derby that night (shameless promotion there)playing those classic rock songs live instead of on the air.

I wish everyone great success and a whole lotta fun.

Perhaps a remote broadcast?... - rich

Danbury airwaves need a stimulus!

Yes... the airwaves need a stimulus... a bailout... a veritable shot in the arm, and you can give it to them.

You know about the allumni weekend. You know that's when DJs from WXCI's past get to sit in that sticky chair, talk into a stained microphone and gingerly avoid the chewing gum from getting on their knees.

You know you could join them.

But you said to yourself:

"It could never happen again"

"Who'd want to listen to me?"

and "There's probably no room..."

Well, it can, everyone, and there is!!

So - don't just stand there with your finger on your temple... put it on WXCI's console and get broadcasting again... at least for one little weekend.

According to Hugh:

"We still have some open times.

Also the Alumni Association is funding the coffee and cookies this year, so there will be refreshments, but no dinner."

===

Slots AND COOKIES. What more could you ask for?

What slots are open?

Not sure... but I know what slots are not open:

12-1 Greg Higgins
1-2 Jeff McKay
2-3 Jesse Gosselin
3-4 Michael Wright
5-6 Keenon Snell

If you want to find out which slot to ask for - might I suggest a strawberry, deductive reasoning, geometric logic and a duplicate key to the icebox... then send a quick email request to sglyko at gmail dot com (Steve Glykokokalos).

(many will play - few will win)
