All Request Thursday!

October 12, 2023Memories Medley

I’m dropping the “Let’s Look At One Specific Year” type of medley today, in favor of a “Let’s Play Some Requests” medley.

We’ve got slow songs, fast songs, a country song, and songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s! And we have one song that will (or should) wake you up with a jolt. You can thank Heather for that one. 🙂

Memories … That’s What We’re All About

Play buttons are on the left … Volume sliders are on the right

All Request Thursday

Chubby Checker – Linda Ronstadt
Little Eva – Betty Everett
Wanda Jackson – Eagles
Cars – Jimmy Buffett
Hall & Oates – Dobie Gray
Don Gardner & Dee Dee Ford

    Good Morning Ray, Nice job with your all request Thursday medley & everyone had good selections too 🙂 Ted & I were talking about the different ways that different bands set up their set lists. Some times 3 fast & then a slow, some were 4 fast & then a slow. I remember that band member introductions were often done the beginning of the 3rd set as people leave before the end of the evening. First set was 1 hour with 15 minute break, sets 2-4 were 45 minutes before a break. This has nothing to do with today’s songs but it’s a memory 🙂 Thanks for the music & a good day to you. Lee & Ted

    This was terrific. I love listening to other peoples request to see what kind of music they like, and I liked all of them. Their choices were excellent! Good job as always, and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you Ray, you’re the best. 🥰

    I loved these songs as well as the commentary along with them.

    This is what old radio was all about! It’s truly a hard-to-find art. When I was living in the Catskills 6 of us from various backgrounds came up with a plan to start a Radio Station that would be filled with shows by volunteers. We started Roxbury’s WIOX Radio – 91.3FM. All volunteer hosts with mostly one-hour shows, dealing with music to talk shows. I hosted “From the Forest” a talk-show dealing with forests and forestry. There are many shows dealing with other topics along with a lot of music specialists. Some of these hosts are transients from NYC.

      Thanks for the compliment, Jim! 🥰
      I wish I lived closer to your station. I would have been happy to do a show!

    I’m feeling pretty special today. You played two of my requests <3.
    I always love request day. Your fans have great taste in tunes.
    I'll be doing a few repeats today as I do some house work…and YES the last song will keep me up and moving.
    As always, thank you for all that you do for us 🙂

    WOW, this was super-duper great, Ray. Loved every one, and your listeners are fantastic! And special thanks for playing my request. My memories of this song, involve a break-up, and a diner next to the Ellis Theater(the name of the diner eludes me), where we hung out after school every day. I used to play that song on the jukebox every day, while enjoying a coke.(providing, of course that I had an extra dime in my pocket. Anyhow I enjoyed “slipping away” to the music today.

      Terrific comment, Pat! 🙂
      I can picture that diner but I can’t recall the name, either. I’m glad the song brought back those memories!
