Thanks, Duffy and Pat. I'm really trying to toe the line with the new meds, glucose testing everyday, not smoking and checking in at BIRHC regularly. One of the toughest parts to work with has been the new diet, but have had island ladies helping to feed me and teaching me how to eat healthy. Specia...

Thanks you two, and don't listen to Bickerson, Blanche.

He told me if I just rubbed some chicken fat on my chest everything would be fine!

Thanks for all of the visits and help from Jeff Powers, Pat Cawley, Jon and Sally Fogg, my daughter Rachel who spent lots of time with me at the hospital and brought me things. Thanks for all of the supportive phone calls from everyone, too. I can't speak enough positives on how BIRHC and our EMS ha...

Thanks to everyone who listened in! I was told by one listener that they actually got a chill up their spine when listening to the final minutes of the broadcast. It was great fun, and not hard to perform. Rehearsal times are flexible and not at all as involved as a stage play is. There will be more...

Guest host for Sunday Night Oldies on WVBI

I'll be off-island this weekend for some R+R, but don't forget to tune in to your favorite Sunday Night Oldies Show from 5 to 7 p.m., this weekend being hosted by a special guest.

I will return to the microphone next Sunday, March 6th. Enjoy!

What an excellent movie with a powerful message. Hopefully it will get shown again here when more people are on the island, so that others will have the chance to experience the film. I think the group that was present for this showing all took something good home with them.

I was working on pressing in some bearings at the sled garage when Serius radio began playing Eagles songs as done by Glen and the boys and also by other artists. Finally, the DJ broke in (as he would continue to do throughout his broadcast) and announced Glen's passing. It felt like the day John Le...

Cynthia J's Bowie tribute show was excellent, I hope it airs again this coming week. She did a great job of researching the history of each song and her script was well written and delivered. Also, the production quality of this show was equal to or better than some shows produced in large metro are...

Cynthia, we also need cast members for the Burns and Allen radio play. I had not read it before our get together this past week, but when I did, I saw that it also has a short radio play within it, called 'The Tall Man' (a take-off on series 'The Thin Man'). So we also need those characters, too.

Yes, kudo to the students and school faculty that put together this high quality documentary. I learned a lot of facts that I never knew before.
