Today marks the first full week of spring...and what a week it's been. Snow showers a few days ago and mid 70's today. What a flip-flop.
Speaking of flip-flops - get ready for flip-flops, bermuda shorts, and margaritas galore !
Parrotheads everywhere are preparing for the one and only Jimmy Buffet to invade Atlanta !
Thursday, June 5th is the big date. The Hi-Fi Buys Lakewood Amphitheatre will never be the same !
And....if you listen carefully...you'll probably find out you'll have a chance to win tickets to see Jimmy Buffet from Classic Hits, WUUS !
Steely Dan will also be in Atlanta on June 11th...and Classic Hits WUUS will definitely have a chance for you to score tickets to that show.
How do you like our new feature ? Each weekday morning starting around 8:30, Classic Hits WUUS plays 97 minutes of Continuous Classic Hits...non-stop, back to back and commercial free.
We're proud to present the earliest start to the music day in town, and the city's longest music marathon. It's our way of saying thanks for listening to Classic Hits WUUS !

Monday - St. Patrick's Day !
Well....here we go again, into another week with a Monday to kick it off.
It IS St. Patrick's Day.
It IS a holiday where people drink. Too much. And too often, that causes problems.
So, I'll be brief. If you're Irish...even if you're not...have a great St. Patrick's Day.
Party. Drink. Hoot. Holler. Bark at the moon. Stay up till dawn. Have a large time.
But do NOT drink and drive.
The rest of us don't want to have to wait in traffic while they scrape your bloody carcass off the road.

What A Show !
Jackson Browne really impressed a lot of folks last night at the Tivoli Theatre !
Tha show...I don't think you could really call it a 'concert'...was simply the man and his music. One artist, sixteen guitars, one electronic keyboard, and a lot of great Classic Hits !
The audience interaction was unusually high as well. It's not often you'll see a performer of his caliber who will talk with the audience like he did and take requests. I was impressed when I first heard his music decades ago. I'm even more impressed now.
St. Patrick, the man who ran the snakes out of Ireland, had his annual holiday this Monday, March 17th. Do you have big plans for the day ?
Here are a few links to perhaps get you in the mood...and don't forget to wear green, or else you could get pinched !

Back to Work ! Back to School ! Back - To - Back Classic Hits !
Good morning and happy Monday to one and all !
I hope each of you had a great weekend !
Classic Hits, WUUS had a tremendous time at the American Lung Association Gala this past Saturday with the "Here Comes The Mummies Band" at the National Guard Armory.
Lots of great food and I have to tell you, the "Here Comes The Mummies Band" was simply incredible. It's not often you see a band that packs the dance floor from start to finish, but these guys did !
If you weren't able to make this party, you definitely need to catch The Mummies when you can. It'll be worth the effort. And they're genuinely nice individuals as well.
What a great show, and our thanks to Shirley Cudabac (you too, George) for organizing such a great event.
Don't forget the Jackson Browne show Tuesday at the Tivoli. Ticket winners, make sure you pick your tickets up before 5pm Tuesday afternnon, or they'll be gone.
I'd like your feedback to our daily blog entries. Post them here, or send them to me at chip@wuusradio.com and I'll make sure they get up.
Have a great Monday !

Friday
NO, IT'S NOT !!!
It's NOT a 'weather event' where you need to head to the store and stock up on bread, milk, and toilet paper.
It's just a few snow showers, with some light accumulation in the higher elevations.
That's not to say, though, that there won't be some very slick spots on the roads early Saturday. Make sure and be careful if you have to be out driving then.
Jackson Browne ticket winners, make sure and come by the WUUS Studios on North Market Street and get your tickets if you haven't already. The concert is at the Tivoli Theatre this Tuesday. It'll be a great show, and Dale Mitchell will have more tickets to give away this afternoon.

Happy Hump Day !
Classic Hits WUUS hopes you're enjoying our new feature each weekday morning -
If you haven't heard yet, we're playing 97 minutes of non-stop Classic hits.
Back to back.
Commercial Free.
All for you.
Make sure and listen on the way in to work, and we'll keep you up to date with news, weather, traffic, plus the best selection of music in town. Then, once you're actually at work, grab a cup of coffee and click on http://www.wuusradio.com and hit the 'Listen Live' button.
Congratulate yourself.
Minimize the program, and then get set for the biggest variety of Classic Hits on the radio.
It'll make the workday go by a lot faster.
Okay, maybe not 'faster', but certainly 'better'.
Tell or email a friend about the 97 minute music marathon. It doesn't matter if they live around the block or in another state ( heck, even in another country...after all, this IS the Internet ), your friends will thank you for introducing them to such a cool musical concept.
97 minutes of continuous Classic hits each weekday morning. Your friends should then, in turn, tell one of their friends. Then they should tell someone else.
Think about it...we could take over the Classic Hits universe, one listener at a time.
Your friends will thank you. They'll remember you in their will.
If your luck is like mine, you'll get the car payment.

Saturday,March 1st
Several of you have e-mailed and called about last week's entry about Lloyd Ray Smith, the retired Area Four Special Olympics Director.
Lloyd Ray lost his battle with cancer and gained his angel wings early Saturday morning, March 1st. He leaves behind five children, a sister, and a devoted caregiver.
He also leaves behind countless memories and indelible impressions in the hearts of thousands of individuals whose lives he touched over the years. The extended family of Special Olympians, the volunteers, the fundraisers, and the all the rest will miss this man...this man whose heart and spirit was as big as the great outdoors.
The world of Special Olympics is a better place for him being a part of it. Farewell, Smithy...we will miss you.
