WDVR Rocks !!


I recently found this New Jersey-based radio station.  If you check their website, http://www.wdvrfm.org/ , you'll see by their schedule that they really have music to suit all tastes.  You can call the DJ's during their show (just call 609-397-1620 & press 5 for the on-air DJ) or email them during their show ( host@wdvrfm.org ).  And, yes, they do take requests.  It's a lot of fun !!

How I stumbled across this station is quite the story !!  I used to listen to CING Radio 108.  One song I really luved was "Rainbows, Pots of Gold, and Moonbeams". CING no longer exists and I can't find the song anywhere, including ITunes.  I do recall asking at one time and being told that the artist was none other than Studebaker Hawk.

A Google search led me to a DJ at WDVR in New Jersey called Studebaker Hawk.  I turns out that this is not the same person, but I have become a regular listener to his show, Hot Wax, aired on Fridays, from 6 AM - 9 AM.  Studebaker has quite the following of regular listeners !!

[Incidentally, I have since located the song, "Rainbows, Pots of Gold and Moonbeams", available for download here http://www.littleshopofvoices.com/tuneman/studebaker.rm .]
