I am several posts behind, but I could not let this pass.
In 1986 through 1988, my company sent me on a temporary assignment to fix
some things in our branch office in Annapolis area. I was living in
Columbus, (yes, Ohio).
Discovering WHFS while I was there was the most incredible thing. They
turned me on to so many things. I do know that later on, the format
changed and wasn't as cutting edge any more.
It was the first place that I heard:
The Blue Nile "Walk across the Roof Tops" blew my mind the first time I
heard it
The Bobs - Once they played a Beach Boys song, followed by the Bobs doing
"I Hate the Beach Boys"
Martha and Muffins - It took me years to finally track down a disc by them
(pre- internet)
Clive Gregson and Christine Collister's wonderful record "Home and Away"
I rediscovered Thomas Dolby when they played "Silk Pajama's"
The Washington Squares "You Can't Kill Me"
The Indigo Girls
Godley and Creme "Englishman in NY"
They played Phillip Glass (for gosh sakes!)
David Lindley
Ian Matthews "Walking the Changing Line"
Klaus Noami
Van Dyke Parks
Pianosaurus
Crowded House (I woke up one morning in the arms of some one I was having
a somewhat illicit affair with and "Into Temptation" played. I took it as
a sign.)
Take Six
Richard Thompson (Did She Jump or Was She Pushed)
B-52's (Post Rock Lobster which I thought was really a one hit wonder ,boy
was I wrong)
Richard Barone
Dead Can Dance (Tell me about the Forest)
Don Dixon (Oh God, EEE, they played all cuts, it was amazing)
These are the ones that I can think of right off the top of my heads.
I e-mailed several people that I hung out with there, a note this morning
regarding this, because we all were WHFS heads. We have all dispersed to
various parts of the country. Everyone is weighing in with their thoughts
and comments and updates on where they are at. I miss them, I miss this
time in my life, I turned 30 there.
Heavy Heavy Sigh.
Thanks for listening.
Regards, Tom
