Mr. Christopher,
ReplyDeleteMy Name is Gene Van Wagoner I have been over the past couple of weeks been listening to you over WEZC in Clinton Il. A friend of mine by the name of Orv Graham had a radio show on Sunday morning called “Sunday Morning Easy” for about 11 years. Religiously I would listen every chance I could get home to do so. This past year he passed unfortunately and of course this ended his smooth welcoming voice on the Sunday morning air waves.
I’ve been accused of being somewhat of a writer which I posted on FB ect. Sometimes Orv would read those on the air so you can appreciate the report we had.
I thought my listening time on Sunday was ended until I heard about this new guy on Sunday afternoon. His program is called the “Neon Beat”. Now I’ll be honest after Orv I really wasn’t expecting much (judging by the title and missing the void that Orv left)
I was not only pleasantly surprised with the type of music you offered up, but your voice almost matches Orv’s to the tee. Not to mention the back stories you fill in about the music.
So in closing I’ll just say thank you for the music, thank you for the history and thank you for making music fun…Rest assured I’ll be listening no matter where I am now and so will many of my followers on FB.
Thanks again
Gene
What a wonderful program. I absolutely love it. It makes Sunday afternoons so relaxing. The way they should be. What a wonderful addition to my already favorite radio station. WEZC Clinton, Illinois
ReplyDeleteDelighted to hear Anita O'Day w/ Roy Eldridge today. Wonder if Krupa knew what he had with those 2 stars.
