A day in the life of a lamptimer

Geez, with dayparting like that, the Goldmine really goes underground after dark.

Perhaps the night show should be called Maricopa Gold. What song is Bong 545?

"Bang 545" is a song that is in high rotation every classic hits station on the dial...

Alex I'll take AM-Oldies for $400 Please...
Everyone's favorite Van Morrison tune...

That's all for now from THE home of the HITZ...
The Beautiful Broadcasting Bunker south of the Rusty River in the Lone Star State....

No, Jay...John asked about "Bong 545".

Which is, of course, "Sister Mary Elephant" by Cheech and Chong.

Oh! That's a different deal for sure. Might even be "Purple Haze", or "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"... Adds a whole new dimension to the word "Hits"...

The night time staff at the Broadcast Bunker respond in kind with a subdued (golf clap, clap)

Unfortunately so. Better catch up on your reading as the Lamptimer was retired when the station went full-time. But that was no reason to stop wasting bandwidth on a topic that is more entertaining than that weiner running for NYC mayor!

I must say the highlight of my short visit to Arizona from Tennessee was driving by Ponderosa Lumber and seeing the tower of pow-pow-power behind the building. I even grabbed a shot of the tower and the transmitter shack for my photo album! I only had a few opportunities to listen, though. I heard some infomercial and later a local call-in talk show. My host isn't the radio nut that I am.. I never got to hear the great oldies I've read about in this thread.

I took the long way home after the D-Backs game tonight and noticed the beloved tower is totally invisible against the night sky. :'(

The bulbs burned out long ago... the legend never did!

"Your light bulbs burned out long ago but your legend never did...."

That would make a good song lyric, How about this for a title?

"Tower in the Wind" or "Tower Lights in the Wind"

There's this guy in England who is a piano player of sorts who might record it for us. What do you think???

catfish (lower case c) emailed Los Buckeye Boyz several months ago to let us know the FCC gave Lumberyard 14~Forty permission to go lightless at night. Ka-ching...more profit to boost the sales price Gumpdusky struck with Mother Hubbard.

And KOOL Listener Lauren, you must have really taken the long way home to drive by the Tower of 52 watts Pow-Pow-Power. By chance were you really headed to the Hookah Lounge at 68th & Thomas to catch Radio Sri on your iPod?

You're right....the lights may be out, but the goldminers are still diggin!

Or to get down to our Arizona monsoon madness, "Tower in the Haboob."

That's right. Under 100 feet. But I was thinking it had to do with tower paint.

Accompanied by Lawrence Welk and his Orchestra. An-a-one-a, an-a-two-a... ;D

 

[ironbear]

That's right. Under 100 200 feet. But I was thinking it had to do with tower paint.

Of interest to pilots and low flying Byrds.

I thought Byrds tended to be Eight Miles High.

You're right...no paint and no lights. So what the heck holds that iron together? Almost 60 years of scorching heat, freezing cold and all kinds of haboobs and ownership boobs have taken their toll on the Tower of Pow-Pow-Power.

YIKES!!

Nothing but the oxidize tears of the weary gold miners and the many aerial assaults from migratory pigeons..
