"And that's why I'm gonna' take a good girl
I know you want it
I know you want it
I know you want it
You're a good girl
Can't let it get past me
You're far from plastic
Talk about getting blasted
I hate these blurred lines
I know you want it
I hate them lines
I know you want it
I hate them lines
I know you want it
But you're a good girl
The way you grab me
Must wanna get nasty
Go ahead, get at me"

RFW SPEAKS!

My father's name is Lavern Curtis Wohlman. He was raised on a farm in North Dakota, lied abut his age and joined the Navy as a teen. He was on leave in Boston, when he met my mother and he remained in love with her until he passed in 1995. Among the important things he taught me, was how to really love and respect your wife and children. I aspire to be as good at it as he was.

He was 23 (left) when this picture was taken in 1948 with his best-man, Popye (right), and it's a trip to imagine him as a wild young sailor and to see him with all that curly hair on his head! I got to visit his grave yesterday and the time there has inspired me to be an even better father and man in the days and years ahead.

I miss you so much, Pop!

Transmission 4913-2

I love music so much, and the people that choose to use their gift to serenade us are my heroes. Then there are the special artists that actually help inform my life. At the top of the short-list is Brian Wilson.

Along with his brothers, cousin and fellow band mates, he disguised complicated and complex compositions of life and love in deceptively simple songs of teenage fun and sun.

Out of the music made, nothing invokes the warmth of the summer sun like the sounds made by The Beach Boys! Enjoy lots of it and inspired selections from Roy Wood, Chris White and Mark Eric!

RFW SPEAKS!

Radio As Art

Composers, musicians, writers, poets, photographers, painters, monologists, sculptors, designers, builders and all that use their God-given and self-taught talents for the sake of creating art are all members of a very special group of people. The ability to start with an empty space, blank canvas, block of wood, piece of stone, mound of clay or lump of metal and turn it into a finished piece to be enjoyed is a rare gift to be used and celebrated.

All of these forms of art are still valid, appreciated and accepted as a vital part of most cultures. New artists study those from the past and are influenced, directly or indirectly, but add their own

style, ideas and passion to keep the mediums exciting and compelling!

I, too, consider myself an artist. My skill is the ability to take a theme, sound or feel and turn silence into a music program with several diverse layers of continuity. Then to add to that process, information, education and infectious enjoyment of the results. Rather than paper, instruments, words, a pen, a camera, a brush, paints or raw materials - I use the sounds of recorded music to make a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

I heard this magic performed by sonic wizards of my industry that came before me and was amazed and inspired by their deep knowledge of subject, pitch, tone and tempo. To see the distinction of being a "disc jockey" become celebrated and recognized has been a real pleasure. I am excited by the fact that a turntable or deck can be turned into a unique instrument of musicality and improvisation. The art of dance floor DJing and mixtapeology is also encouraging and in some cases very impressive. But to me, simply segueing hit songs by beat-per-second is akin to painting a by-numbers picture. Colorful, but artistic?

In the case of commercial radio, art has all but been eliminated from the process. Even the Sirius/XM, Pandora and Spotify world of personalized programming is usually a data driven computerized process devoid of any real soul.

It has and remains my desire to provide audio stimulation for me and you by creating RFW as something different with every Transmission - it appears to be working. I see glimpses of a gradual return to genuine talent, ears and ability and pray for the re-emergence of the endangered species that is
Radio As Art!

"So don't become some background noise

A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour"

We interrupt your regularly scheduled RFW Transmission for this important Saturday Night Special Warning : Even though he is pictured on this post in a shameless bait and switch attempt to gain your attention and despite the fact that John Travolta was very cool as Tony Manero (the character even had a Rocky poster in his bedroom - but John's acting was much more effective in SNF, than in the inferior sequel - but I digress), there is no Bee Gee disco music inside (not that I don't dig Stayin' Alive and How Deep Is Your Love! - ahh, I've strayed again)! Instead you will find the raw and raucous sounds of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Little Richard, ZZ Top, Iggy & The Stooges, Dub Pistols, Snoop Lion, Major Lazer, Patti Smith, Rod Stewart, The Rolling Stones, The Shazam, The Len Price 3, Raspberries, The Fannie Clark Singers, U2, Yea Yea Yeas and Butch Walker!

You are not alone in your grief, anger and fear. In the shadow of the recent act of terrorism and cowardliness, the home of the original patriots is the true hub of the world. The outpouring of good-will messages to RFW from our extended family in 191 countries has inspired me to respond the way I know best. If music can soothe the savage beast, perhaps it can also heal our hearts, diffuse our tempers and calm our anxiety. This is Boston - The Standells, Barry & The Remains, Human Sexual Response, Willie Loco Alexander & The Boom Boom Band, The J. Geils Band, Aerosmith, Piper, The Cars, The Modern Lovers, Mission Of Burma, DMZ, Pixies, Karate, Galaxy 500 and Isis!
