Live from the Shores of Lake Owassa

 Hear this show now: Pop-up listen Pop-up player! | Add or read comments



Idyllic Lake Owassa (L); Rob mans the BroadcastBQ® (R).

As summer faded, Rob took his show to Station Manager Ken's dacha and DJ re-education compound on the shores of Lake Owassa. Specifically, to the BroadcastBQ®, Ken's lakeside barbecue unit / mobile broadcast station. At considerable personal risk: bears have been sighted in the vicinity.

Hear misty-eyed summer reminiscences from FMU DJs, earsplitting crickets and tree frogs, and Station Manager Ken's rousing campfire rendition of Hotel California.

Despite our fears neither bears nor Sasquatch were sighted. Only a lone beaver threatened our brave DJs.

Profuse thanks to Jeff Mullan (board op), Ken Freedman, Scott Williams, Irene Trudel and my illustrious sidekick Katie Gentile who opened the show with a thrilling recount of her recent Newburgh-to-Beacon Hudson River Swim. And to Mac for coining the term "BroadcastBQ".

WANTED: Obama Songs in multi-culti styles for our pre-election show!

Listener comments!

  6:14pm John Lemus:

Wow! I've been looking for David Rudder's Kojak for quite sometime. I would love to find an MP3 of it to replace the extremely warped vinyl I first heard it on. If you see JR blow your whistle!
  1:19am Andres:

Gracias por el buey cansao!
