Some unanswered questions now that the event has passed......
First and foremost, prayers to the Hurricane victims, survivors and people there saving and evacuating everyone out of harms way.
Second, the 3 hours tonight on NINE-FM were sponsored by donations to The Red Cross, from Rick & Diana Fleming on behalf of Radio-Info.com & the memory of Doug Fleming, JamTraxx Media, and myself.
I would like to personally thank NewsWeb, Matt Dubiel, Harvey Wells, Jen, Lyn Taylor, and everyone else present that greeted us in their building, and treated us with utmost respect and hospitality, even though the participants of this site have been most harsh on them many times. They showed us around, we talked, ate, and they allowed us access on air to do as we pleased. This whole effort they have been orchestrating speaks volumes that they do care, and all the "others" in the market should take note, how NINE has moved to get the people to donate for this unprecented event that has occured on our soil.
I would like to thank JamTraxx Media for hosting the show and working closely with me on music title selections. They stepped in on *very* short notice, as I did not want to take the roll of being on air.
I would like to thank "Big Ed" for offering to volunteer for a few hours and providing moral and comical support before and during our on air time. =)
MAINSTREAM DANCE was selected, SOLEY to honor the memory of Doug as he loved the music and uncommon radio format. Also to appease the many participants here, that do miss the format on 92.5/7.
Finally, it is nice to hear the many people on NINE so far this weekend. Karen Hand, Katherine Johns, Dr Kelly, Bill Leff, Kevin Matthews, John "Records" Landecker and the others lined up the rest of this weekend.
Reality dictates, not all can donate, but if you have even a dollar to spare, I strongly encourage you to donate. Reverse the tables, it could be you there right now, and that 1 dollar could be the difference between having a bottle of water or not, for you to drink in the harsh conditions present in the gulf.
May peace be with all of us in these challenging times. We will prevail.
Thank you.<P ID=signature>______________
