I'm not a happy camper, sitting in bed when I should be getting ready to broadcast Varina at Hermitage football. But, without a voice, it's hard to do radio. So, I figured I would squeeze in anot...

We begin the 103rd season of the National Football League this week, so, right on schedule, it's time for another look at how this season will definitely NOT unfold. Here are my predictions for t...

I cannot thank everyone enough for sharing your "Where were you?" stories about September 11, 2001 on my Facebook page. It is so powerful to see that tragic day and how it unfolded from so many...

Well, come on in! It's another NFL season, billed as the "biggest season ever", as those of us who still aren't used to 16-game schedules now must adjust from 14 games to seventeen. Because, you ...

Years ago, when I was a much more active blogger here, I'd always do a year in review post. After these last twelve months, even though I'm stuck in bed sick on New Year's Eve, I had a few thou...

Well, hi everyone. What a long, strange trip this has been. No high school or Randolph-Macon College football for me this autumn, which has led me to spend exactly no extra time whatsoever contem...

November 10, 1999 is one of the top ten most important days of my life. Driving to a wedding planning meeting today, I was reminded of this, the 20th anniversary of two huge events. First, and ...

We screw it up every year, so it's time to take a few mindless minutes, check out what I have to say about the upcoming NFL season (which will play in the background of my life as I concentrate o...

Saturday May 18, 2019 marks two major events in the life of my branch of the Witham family tree. On the 35th anniversary of my father's surgery for a brain aneurysm, his granddaughter, who was ...

I had been properly warned. "He's the hardest teacher you'll ever have." "You'll never get an 'A'." "Good luck." Nick Liberante's educational reputation proceeded him. And on August 29, 1...

UPDATED (1/26/19): This will be scattered of sorts, sometimes posting certain songs while sometimes posting albums, and posting an artist if we simply don't have them in our library yet at 102.9 ...

It's becoming a Labor Day tradition, and I need one, since my old tradition is no longer with us. Time for me to completely embarrass myself and try to predict the NFL season which begins Thursda...

It's been too long since I've had a blog entry, so I'm carving out time on this day after reading a very interesting article from Sean Ross on the music found in the unforgettable summer of 1979....

The old saying goes that when God closes a door, He opens a window. I'm currently checking for open windows around or near me, or, maybe you know of one I haven't seen yet. :) Late Tuesday ...

Radio shot itself in the foot with the Telecommunications Act of 1996. We've suffered through 21 years of Clear Channel/iHeart and others laying off countless talented radio professionals so one...

Life's been different lately. Having no bedroom for over a month has thrown the whole house, and the whole routine, out of kilter. So, for the first time in 21 years, I don't have a fantasy footb...

Yeah, I did it. But, in actuality, the title is a bit of a misnomer. Today, I took my first trip to Publix in Virginia on the first day anyone could walk into a Publix in Virginia. But about ...

My first recollection of this song (which, in its edited form contains all of three words, the title, sung during the build-up to the finish) is when it was used by CBS Sports as the theme to "CB...

For a long time, this was my all-time favorite song. Around the beginning of August in 1979, I did on a typical Friday what every other preteen or teenager did by picking up that evening's edit...

Keen observers of this countdown may have realized, thanks to a hint or two dropped along the way, that we hadn't heard the last of Pete Townshend, longtime member of The Who, and a pretty doggon...

We begin the top five with, for my money, the greatest love song of all time. Originally written in 1952, the song first achieved popularity with the version recorded by Doris Day. There have b...

Today, the highest song in the countdown that was never released as a single to radio. It comes from Genesis' wildly successful "Invisible Touch" release, and it has a rather bawdy background, wh...
