Episode #37: Lady-Party After-Party & the Resting “Ancient Maya Face”

No automatic alt text available.

A particularly insane evening at 102.3 WHIV FM! Featuring all sorts of unlikely parties partying together. Old hats, new hands, no dogs, neat tricks, etc. The inception of “Hair on the Air”, I think our greatest gimmick yet, because I have a great face for radio and clearly need my hair in hot rollers while wearing headphones. Ha! Check out Stacey Kelly Styling, y’all.

And of course we heard some great tunes, both live and recorded. Thanks to everyone who hung out and tuned in! Every Sunday night, folks. (As close-knit as we sound on-air, many of us just met each other and/or actually hate each other, so you’re more than welcome to come join the fray. 🤣 I won’t make you use the microphone.) Also, consider becoming a station member at whivfm.org / .com! Community radio, every little bit helps!

Ok! After wading through the carnage of Sunday night’s installment of Musician, Mentors, and Barroom Heroes, this was our playlist, approximately. (The second half of the program mostly consisted of people frantically yelling at me to find songs I’d never heard of, me cursing out various electronic devices, everybody staying properly hydrated, and all of us getting distracted by the best [i.e. dirtiest] stories once we were off-air. Ah, would that the FCC would take a holiday…)
