Well happy eclipse day everyone.

Either you’re reading this pre eclipse or you took my warning and wore protective eyewear during the eclipse but either way welcome to Monday. It’s the simple things that make me happy. My tulips came up and they’re B E A – utiful! My lawn looks great. The weather is warming up. I love the sunshine and I love the smell of fresh cut grass. I hope everybody enjoyed the Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young weekend. It’s a lot of fun for us when we play music that is so well received. So how do we top it? That depends on you. Start commenting early on what you prefer for our next event and we just might make it happen. Vote often and vote early. And now back to the music. C-ya!

Hey there Loyal listeners. I hope your Easter baskets overflowed and you enjoyed a nice weekend with your families.

The O’s won their season opener and series against the Angels so we’re off to a good start. Of course you’ll need to tune in to wthuradio.com for the best coverage of high school

and softball in the area. Here’s a couple of reminders …#1 Monday is April first, also known as April fools day so beware of pranks. #2 Dont feed your dog the unwanted egg yolks from your Easter eggs especially if your dog sleeps in your bedroom with you or you may find yourself opening a window in the middle of the night..#3 Tune into the Chazman 9 -12 Mon thru Friday. You’ll be glad you did. C-ya!

Well, here we are again at the beginning of a new week and the end of another month. Easter’s on its way and I hope warm weather comes with it.

Hard to believe on our 1st. day of Spring, we didn’t even crack forty degrees but that’s better than 1985 when it was only fifteen degrees….of course that was alaska and they’re probably used to it there. I like warm weather. I like going to the ball game in a t shirt and a pair of shorts. And

starts on Thursday! O’s vs Angels at 3:05.

So, I’m always looking for new stories that will entertain you from a plethora of resources and one of the stories I found that you may have missed was the fact that the Olympic committee has lifted the athletes intimacy ban for the summer Olympics in Paris. The ban was originally put in place because of COVID but now that it’s been lifted, BEWARE!

If the Eiffel Tower’s a rockin’ …. don’t come a knockin’ !

Have a great week folks. Tune in daily for more entertaining tidbits from the Chazman. I’m here all week!

C-Ya!

Big month folks. Day light savings time hit us over the weekend. Today is Marine infantry day (0311). My grunts out there will understand. In a few days, it’s one for the geeks like me.

Of course the first day of Spring is coming March 19th. and then Oriole baseball kicks off 3/28 for their home opener against the Angels. Everyone gets a rally towel. I hope to see you there.

2/16/24 Hey, everyone, it’s mid-February and things are getting exciting around here! I am heading to the Rock
N Roll Hall Of Fame next week and I’ll be doing some interviews and going behind the scenes of some of
their most popular and famous displays. I’ll bring back lots of video and pictures and hopefully it will be
fun for you to hear about and see what I have in store for you.
In other news, I went over 100 shows this week and thanks to you, it’s been a blast. Congrats to
Kemosabi Joe as he celebrated 59 years in broadcasting so suffice it to say, I have some catching up to
do. With your support I’ll keep chipping away. Before you know it, it’ll be 200 shows and then who
knows?! We lost Toby Keith this month and as a tribute I put a little video on Facebook and wow the response
was overwhelming. It got over 17,000 views and we gained over 70 new followers, so welcome
everyone. When something like this happens it really brings us all together so thank you and welcome
to WTHU. I hope you’ll join me every morning from 9-12 as I play some of the greatest songs ever made.
I hope everyone who made their new year’s resolution is sticking with it and I wish you much success.

I’d love to help. I’d also love to hear your song requests so again, HIT ME UP. Just send me a message on FB and I’ll make
