NRFFM003 - Merry Christmas from Not Ready for FM!

It's here!  The Not Ready for FM Christmas Episode!

Thanks to everyone that called, emailed, send Facebook messages, and what-not.  I'll have a track list up in the next couple of days.

Merry Christmas!

So, Which One's Willie?

This is why I love the internet.  For the past 30 years or so, I've half-remembered this song, but only recently (as in, tonight) had the inclination to go looking for it.  Mostly, it pops into my head on Fridays.

In my mind, I remember hearing it on WQEN-FM - The Super-Q104 in Gadsden, Alabama - as a kid, either as part of their morning show at the time, or as the big 5 o'clock Friday weekend kickoff song.

I don't know when you're reading this, but in the Not Ready for FM studios, it's a Friday afternoon in 1979 all over again, and Wet Willie's album "Which One's Willie?" is blasting out over the monitors, bringing back an old, happy memory...

Your Christmas Memories - on Episode 3 of Not Ready for FM

Work's already started on Not Ready for FM Episode 3, and since it's December already, and the weather's getting cooler, let's make it a Christmas show!

Give me a shout with what you'd like to hear, especially if you have a song that brings back a particular Christmas memory. Send a message on the Not Ready for FM Facebook page, email me at notreadyforfm@gmail.com, send a message on Twitter to @NotReadyforFM, or even better, call the Not Ready for FM Voicemail Line at 256-405-9459 and tell your story. All the contact information is here, too, if you're curious.

Merry Christmas from Not Ready for FM!

NRFFM002 - "Good Love Gone Bad"

Coming Up This Weekend

Getting ready for the first official show this weekend - here's what's in store for you on the next Not Ready for FM:

Recording This Weekend

OK, here's the plan - looking to at least record a test-drive for you guys this weekend, probably Saturday.  Of course, now that there's a scheduled event, something will come up, but still, it's there.

Find "Not Ready for FM" on Social Media

In addition to the ever-under-construction website, NotReadyForFM.com, there's also a Not Ready for FM Facebook Page for you to "like", and for more updates, follow Not Ready for FM on Twitter.  If you're more old-school, you can send an email to notreadyforfm@gmail.com

Work continues to bring you the first podcast (hey, I got a real job to do, too).  If you get a minute, "like" the Facebook page, follow on Twitter, send me an email, leave a comment - something, please.  I'd hate to have to keep paying my stalker to not leave me.

Meet Our Consultant!

Preparations are underway for the new podcast.  I've been watching episodes of 'WKRP in Cincinnati" to get in the right mindset - rebellious, independent rock-n-roll, fueled by large amounts of coffee.  Actually, except for the coffee, I'm not any of those things.  It is cool, however, that one of the local TV stations has two episodes of WKRP on their second channel Sunday nights.

Oh, and since a podcast isn't a real radio station, that means we don't get a real consultant.  This is as close as we get to the real thing:

Anyway, hang on, and we'll be up soon.  Details when available, right here on NotReadyforFM.com.
