Now, don't freak out.
Stay calm, cool, and collected...AND GET YOUR HAND AWAY FROM THAT RADIO BUTTON !
It's "Mancow's Morning Madhouse".
That's what you'll be hearing on Classic Hits WUUS from 6a - 10a from now on.
It's a funny, topical show with a zany cast of characters.
I know many of you were used to hearing music during that time period, but give Mancow a listen. It's a lot better than most morning shows you've been exposed to.
Doing Mancow's Morning Madhouse will allow me to get out and do more things with our great community, and I'm looking forward to it.
Like the old Alkz-Seltzer jingles used to say: "Try it ... you'll like it" !

Today's Blog Post will be short - at least initially.
"Farfegnugen" * rhymes with "Chattanoogan"
Coincidence ?
I Think Not.
* Incidentally, "Farfegnugen" is German for 'driving pleasure.'

CONGRATULATIONS !
Congratulations and kudos to Chattanooga's own Karah Nazor. She's the daughter of Karen Nazor Hill of the Chattanooga Times Free Press. Karah is working on her post - Ph.D work, and lives in San Fransisco. For exercise and relaxation, Karah swims.
A lot.
She's been swimming - competitively - since childhood. She's 31 years old now, and wrap your mind around this:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Karah just completed a swim across the English Channel !
( Insert applause sounds effects here )
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Beginning in Dover, England, and winding up in Calais, France,Karah becomes the ONLY person from Tennessee to ever complete the swim.
It's 21 miles in length, in water temperatures below 60 degrees. Now, you've also got to take into consideration the tidal action of the English Channel, fatigue, and critters that swim in those same waters. Critters that like to nibble.
Karah not only survived, she thrived. She completed the swim in 12 hours and 28 minutes.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Another really cool aspect of her swim: She accepted pledges for the Wounded Warrior Project. Their spokesperson, Jeremy Feldbusch, was blinded while fighting in Iraq back in 2003. The final dollar amount Karah raised has yet to be determined, although it's substantial....but not as substantial as the training, determination, and pure grit Karah has put in to realize her life-long dream.
Karah and her family are now off to enjoy a few well-deserved days in Wales. Then, she'll return to the United States and figure out what "the next big thing" is. Whatever it is...I'm betting she'll do whatever it takes to make it happen.

Congratulations, Karah !

Another Weekend - And Not A Day Too Soon !
A really cool band tonight at Nightfall - it's "Bonerama".
Lots of brass, Lots of guitars, and LOTS of trombones. They've got 4...count 'em, FOUR !
I don't think my high school band had four trombones in the whole brass section !
Anyway, check out Nightfall tonight at Miller Park, the show starts at 7pm with Up With The Joneses warming up.
You'll like this show.
Guaranteed or your money back.
If gospel and bluegrass is more your style, check out the half moon festival.
That'll be happening in beautiful Ten Mile, Tennessee Sunday starting at 12 Noon.
Now...check this out: Blues and Barbecue in abundance will be available at First Tennessee Pavilion Saturday, and it's a fund raiser for the Chattanooga Area Food Bank.
I interviewed Scott Holt Thursday, and lemme tell ya, this guy knows how to work a guitar !
Get this: Buddy Guy taught him how to play guitar !
Don't miss this show at First Tennessee Pavilion !
Call the Food Bank if you'd like more info.
Chattanooga Market Sunday starting at noon. I'm hoping to finally do the lunch thing with Chris Thomas and tell you more about the market - PLUS the ChattaHippie Festival - sometime next week.
Have a great weekend, and don't forget to join me at Bay Tanning Salon Saturday, July 12, from
