Thanks to a timely link to my WHFS blog posted on the Mobtown Shank site (www.mobtownshank.com) by Scott Huffins (www.atommicbooks.com), we've been honored by Janet Little herself.
The tapes found on this blog have survived 4 moves in 18 years and many long years cooped up in a dark closet, seemingly all but lost. Once found, while making room no doubt for the most recent addition to my odd collection of "anything", I started saving them to my computer; then forgot about them for two years or so. Thanks to Camarillo Brillo (http://incaroads-wvkayaker.blogspot.com/) for giving me the push I needed to start posting what I had.
Now a visit from Janet! What could be better? Well, just the fact that I have helped some re-live fond memories of an era past, an era that held the beginning of many futures - it's satisfaction enough.
After doing an online search, Janet Little has some awesome photography and is duly talented. Check out her site - http://www.janetlittle.com/.
Janet, I am an amateur photographer and in looking at your site, you have moved me. Artistically masterful. Thank you for making a profound impact on my life, again.

Hey, this is Janet! There was a link to the "HFS Nostalgia" blog on the Mobtown Shank and I had to check it out. I'm downloading shows now, this is too funny! I only have a couple of tapes from HFS and I have no idea what kind of shape they're in since I don't have a working cassette player.
Thanks for making this available. I can only hope I'm not too embarrassed by what I sounded like all those years ago! :-D

WHFS Saturday Oct 1st 1988
What's on the tape:
Mark B starts off with the Alphaville recap-
Forever Young - Alphaville
Concert Calendar
Again, another incredible Concert Calendar. Does anyone else just love to listen to these historical references of the great shows and venues that once were?
...Dave's out and Janet's up next
Just Like Heaven - The Cure
Young Manhood - Wild Swans (One of my favs from my younger days)
That's what I like about you - The Romantics
...Good Morning it's 10 minutes past 10:00...I'm Janet bringing you the music...
Cut edit (another day I'm sure)
I'll let the tape play for itself, you won't be disappointed.
I will tell you that there's a little Richard Pryor on the tape and guess what, someone got busted for a dolla and fifty cents worth of cocaine. Get ready to LAUGH =-)

WHFS - Janet on the radio
I looked through my download history and noticed this had not been downloaded yet. I'm not sure if I uploaded it and forgot to post it or it's burried and everyone missed it. Either way, instead of looking through my posts, I thought I would post it anyway. Plus, I get rid of the Super Bowl blog that was sitting on top for a month. Sorry about that.
I've been busy, traveling, etc. plus started my http://carson5th.blogspot.com blog. After this Saturday, I'll have been to 4 car shows with the 5th scheduled for the end of March in Tampa. It's also Spring in FL, well, I mean Spring Training and that means going to my share of games as well. This year I have tickets to four at the City of Palms park in Ft. Myers. Been to one so far.

Wow, what a game! Giants Win 17-14
As you might imagine, I'm a Redskin fan, so, who was I rooting for? I would have loved to see history, but, I really just don't like Tom Brady and do like Eli and the Manning family. The Giants defense won this game shutting down the Patriots when it was the Giants offense making mistakes that almost cost them the game. What a great last drive to win the game! How did Eli escape the rush and how did 85 catch that ball?
Well, I'm sitting here listening to another HFS tape I found. This afternoon I was clearing a closet to make room for the Christmas villages (yes, those are just coming down) and found a box full of tapes. Now, this is not a house that I lived in for the past 30 years, no, I've moved all my tapes and albums from MD to FL then moved three times while in FL. So, it's not like I found some old box, but I did think I was down to what I had already unearthed. Looks like this box included some Orioles, WHFS, DC101, Rock Over London, store bought cassettes and some sales tapes from when I worked at Sears in Montgomery Village. Anyway, the find was only about 3-4 usable tapes.
As I said, I'm listening to a few of them now and will see what I have then start recording. Here's a sneak peak - Commander Coty, Dave Edmunds, The Leroy Brothers The Nighthawks, Switchblade and Music View Minute with Kraftwork. Can someone tell me when they aired the segment Music View Minute?
Another start of a work week. It comes so quick. I'm traveling Wednesday- Friday on business so there will probably be no uploads until next weekend. =-( Hope all had a great weekend.

Who’s ready for more Tom T w/the Dance-Fix-Mix?
Trying to mix things up adding another one of Tom T’s masterpiece performances from 1987.
What do we have this time? Let’s take a look –
The tape starts with a little over 7-minutes of Contender by Heaven 17 then we take off for a 10-minute jam with The Blow Monkeys. Tom spins It Doesn’t Have to Dub That Way and It Doesn’t Have to be This Way, both 12” mixes - “Blow Monkeys all the way”.
Song break as only Tom T can deliver it – you’ll have to download to hear it. Includes 10 year high school reunion spot for 1977 graduates of Old Mill Senior High.
Since Tom T’s Dance-Fix-Mix was just that, dance music, he only recapped every 15-20 minutes it seems except for a couple station breaks but no song titles or group names. You’ll just have to take my word and Tom T’s reputation that the rest of this tape simply jams.
Enjoy!
The original post from 2008 had a download URL. The Megaupload site has been shutdown so I am now streaming the historical and educational material. This was uploaded Nov. 23, 2013
