Happy Twos-Day everyone!
Ironroad
Maybe Sam's gonna do more live broadcasts in November...
Ironroad
Pointer
Ironroad
Pointer Sisters, close vocal harmony that helped make songs like "Slow Hand" a good song.
Ironroad
Was it me, or did LInda sing the same song twice? Not complaining, but just wanting to make sure I wasn't hearing things.
sam
Nope Tracks Of My Tears followed by Long Long Time
Ironroad
Ok, glad it was just me.
Brock
Good Twosday afternoon all!
humphreycpa
hello Brock
Brock
Hope you're doing well Humphrey. late check today, a Zew here at the offioce today, probably because yesterday I had 18 meetings
humphreycpa
i'm working out of town today and tomorrow. i hope to be home late tomorrow night.
Brock
On the go Humphrey. You're Willie Nelson.
humphreycpa
Seems like it. I see my desk maybe a day for the next two months.
humphreycpa
A day a week.
Ironroad
"America" by Neil Diamond. Yeah, this song just doesn't get old. Played it a number of times (drums). Love that part.
Brock
Hello gang, I have to go out and see a customer at 9 EDT. Can't wait to get back this will be an awesome countdown!
Kari
this is a great start, never heard this song but really like it!
GT25Ump
There's alot of songs in the 21-50 area I don't know, intrigued to hear them & see what I think. The top 20 is loaded with songs I really really like & aren't fried to me at all. 
Kari
you know what, I really don't care for Herb Alpert!
AC
Rise is a great song! Shine A Little Love is even better though.
Brock
Back....To Each their own Kari like Herb Alpert. And McFadden & Whitehead with their one hit.
AC
Great stuff Brock! Great countdown!
Brock
AC you bet!
Brock
This is My Angel Baby with the words changed!
AC
This is a cover of a 60s song Brock.
AC
It does sound similar to My Angel Baby though.
AC
A lot of good songs to choose from as extras. Olivia Newton-John, Bad Company, Billy Thorpe, Mass Production, and more. Even Michael Bolton makes an appearance, and the Addrisi Brothers make their case for fast dancing once again!
AC
Also, the first of two remakes of the same Shangri-Las song in the coming months is in the Hot 100 for this week in 79.
sam
There are so many that coul dbe played as extras today that are great songs, but there is not enough time for all of them. I would need to do a 5 hour countdown. It was a great wek for music
humphreycpa
the sirius/xm 70s show two weekends ago was the 8/4/79 show. a preview of today's show.
Brock
I Don't Like Wednesday's???
Brock
Yeah heard Humphrey. 1979 ws awesome
Brock
was
Brock
Great month, great year Sam
AC
I understand Sam. Hopefully we will get a good sampling of songs below the 50 this week.
AC
Nice, the uncut version of Sail On! It is hard to find the uncut version of that song, unless you listen to the original album it was found.
humphreycpa
Yes it it AC. I actually won the 45 of Sail On for a contest through my paper route. Always like to hear the LP cut of Sail On. Same with Still.
Brock
The Rockets.....on the Zew!
Brock
Here comes a "cool" song that just about everyone I've ever asked liked a bunch. How it peaked where it did I know.
Brock
I don't know that is
sam
I play the LP cuts of both of those songs as weel as Three Times A Lady in regular rotation
humphreycpa
it's always good to hear the Commodores songs on here Sam. You have a nice variety of all their hits on TFO.
Kari
Nick Lowe should have had more hits
Vic
surprisingly this didn't hit the top 10
Vic
the question is.....is that really Madonna singing backround....
AC
For sure on Nick Lowe!
AC
Born To Be Alive probably would have done better if we were not post-Disco Demolition night by this point in 1979. Steve Dahl can suck it!
GT25Ump
I agree AC
AC
I Want You To Want Me is a good song, though it is way too overplayed for me to get into at this point.
Brock
Another Zew song!
Brock
Not only a variety on this chart (and year) but a GREAT variety quality-wise.
Brock
This song (Blondie) peaked where it should have. I only say that because most times we say song get shortchanged!
sam
A little fried for me, But probably my favorite Blondie songother than Atomic. The rest I could care less about.
humphreycpa
wasn't this the only Blondie song that hit somewhere not at number 1 or the upper 30s?
humphreycpa
and One Way or Another dropped out of the 40 and bounced back if i recall
sam
Dreaming, Atomic and the awful Island Of Lost Souls didn't break the top 20 and The Hardest Part didn't even break the 40
Kari
this Bonnie Pointer song is FUN
Brock
Brock song here, no arguments!
humphreycpa
here is a song that I had forgotten about until hearing on TFO. in fact, i used this as a friday request a few weeks ago. (for the first day of summer)
Brock
Another song like Drivers Seat (almost) that it seemed everyone liked, but had a suspicious peak mark on the chart.
Brock
The cool thing about this chart/year, is that the higher you get in the countdown, you think the fried quotient with go up....it really doesn't.
Brock
Would not with, my brain is the only thing fried
GT25Ump
Not as good as Chilliwack's My Girl's Gone Gone Gone, but it's okay.
AC
Another good extra! Gone Gone Gone should have made the Top 40.
sam
WHich is why 47 of the 50 is in th eregular rotation. Great time for music. 1979 is one of my favorite years ever
Jeff
There's always a song on Thursday's A-Z show that's the same as one of the songs on Wednesday's countdown. The Bad Company song has to be the one this week.
sam
yep same with the friday peak songs a lot fo crossover tunes
Brock
Yeah Sam 1980, my all time favorite year certainly has 1979 in it's rear view mirror. It's a winner.
Brock
2nd half of 1979 an edge of first half but the whole year was good.
Brock
Over not of. I should quit typing
Jeff
Here's another sure to be on tomorrow's show.
AC
That's good! 1979 is one of my favorite years musically as well!
Vic
agreeing about 79. Love this John Stewart song!
AC
It's Gold! And good!
Brock
Great tune I'll pile on
humphreycpa
no arguments here. another song that i've grown to appreciate from 1979.
Kari
Stevie Nicks shows up as backing vocals in more songs than I remember!
Brock
Brock song
sam
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham helpmake that song. greta stuff!
AC
Suspicions deserved to top the country chart, though it doesn't sound very country to me. I do like the song though.
AC
Nice to hear the longer version of Sad Eyes. I will take Robert John's other eyes song from 79 as well!
Brock
Kiss could be fried but isn't.
humphreycpa
Disco Kiss. Was this their last top 40 hit for a decade plus?
Vic
Thank you Sam! 
sam
Picked a goo dday to tune in Vic
AC
I believe so Humphrey, until the 90s.
Vic
Is this the single version? I never heard that before
AC
Totally Hot, indeed! Good to hear Olivia.
sam
Yes
AC
It is interesting that Kiss had no Top 40 hits during the over the top style of rock in the 80s. Perhaps the powers that be didn't forgive Kiss for doing disco for a decade plus.
sam
It also wasn't the original group for most of the 80's. But they did put out some great music still
Cjrmack
I believe "Cold Turkey" was by John Lennon although it would be interesting if John Denver did a remake!
Cjrmack
LOL it could have been me but I thought I heard John Denver
AC
I heard John Denver as well.
Ironroad
Devil Went Down to Georgia. Cool song.
Ironroad
Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show was the original group, right?
sam
That is what they were called with their first hit
Ironroad
Too bad Sawyer died a few years ago. Early 2000's, I think.
sam
No it was less than a year ago
sam
New years Eve 2018
Jeff
Weird Al Yankovic: "My Bologna"
Vic
1979. awesome year. 40 years later...current music sucks.
Ironroad
Dang, was it just last year?
Brock
Vic right on!
Brock
Sam, song LF band!
AC
Good song. We are into the groups with the law firm sounding names portion of Yacht Rock.
Brock
Brock
Oct-Dec still very good but the weaker part of 80. Just like I'd say Winter/Spring of 79 is the weaker part of that year....although all relative.
Brock
Woman in Love. I don't need to say it.
Ironroad
For those of you needing a KISS fix, here's "Beth."
Kari
Where did we leave off last week on A-Z?
Jeff
Happy A-Z day. There's sure to be some Good songs on the show today.
Jeff
I'm predicting "Goodnight Tonight" as the last song in this week's set.
Kari
Gotta figure out how to hear it... Live365 not working for me
Jeff
Kari, try TuneIn
Kari
thanks Jeff, I am on tunein now
sam
I checked live 365 on my end and it is working fine, what is it doing Kari
SteveS
Hi Sam. It wasn't loading, but now is
sam
Strange?
SteveS
Technology is awesome when it works; not so much when it doesn't
Jeff
Sounds like I undershot based on Sam's comment. We may have a Groovy ending.
sam
Amen Steve!
SteveS
Love Go All the Way
SteveS
and Eric Carmen
SteveS
That's so wrong. Thank you, Sam
dave in PA
Totally agree Sam and to boot they don’t negotiate with tv providers and black out channels that your paying for. Haven’t had ABC since July 5th. Customer service sucks too
Kari
I have never had a problem with DirectTV! We switched to them many years ago because Time Warner cable in our area is the worst. Guess it just goes to show there are really no good cable options, they're all bad it seems
sam
They even admit they the person that told me I would get a gift card and the price he quated was a lie and they said they will deal with him, but they didnt do anything for me. the equipment stopped working they came out and replaced it. And apparently that meant I signed a two contract when they put in new equipment. which nobody told me.
sam
I knew my origonal promotion was about to go out and I called last week to make sure as long as I canceled today that everything would be fine, well another lie. My credit is great but it will have a black spot now. I am not paying their 130 dollar early cancel fee
Kari
Well Sam, as a lawyer, I would ask them to send you a copy of the contract you signed so you could review it, instead of just being told. Also, you should 100% tell them that you have just told your how many listeners about this and will continue to do so, they might not believe you, but I think the only thing they are possibly afraid of is bad publicity
dave in PA
I agree unless they have a voice recording of you agreeing to something I would say you own squat
sam
Oh they sent me to a supervisor and basically said that I agreed to it, which when I signed up one question asked at least 5 times is that the promotion ending in a year and I could cancel without any fee and he said yes every time. its been more than a year and they expet me to pay 160 a month for what I was paying 60 a month. that is with no movie channels just basic service. nobody is that craz
sam
It was a tech that changed out the equipment that was supposed to tell me if I accepted the new equipment because mine didnt work anymore. I was signing a new contract. they said sorry he didnt tell you, but you did without knowing and that is the way it is you have no choice Oh yes I do!
Kari
Well that's not how contracts work. First of all, any contract over a year has to been in writing, so you couldn't agree to it orally. It's called the "Statute of Frauds". Tell them that
sam
I never signed anything ever
Kari
Stuff like this pisses me off so much! They are counting on you not knowing how to advocate for yourself and just go along with it
sam
This about 5 times that has happened to me with Direct TV. everytime I called in they would lie to me. The last person that made a promise to me. I got her number office where she was working and her work number. When what she told was wrong I brought all that up and they said I dont care what she told you and it doesnt matter if you know how she is and we know. that is still not gonna happen. sor
Jeff
Is this commercial break on the half hour a new thing?
sam
No it has been there all along, but this time of the year when I broadcast Joshua High school football which is where I make most of themoney for the year. I have a lot of new sponsors. When I am live I had not been playing them, But I have so many that I have to.
sam
When I am not live that break has always been there. Since I only had very few sponsors then They got more that what they were promised so I didnt have to when I was live. But now I do.
sam
I have to pay to keep it on the air, this my only way of doing that.
Jeff
Moody Blues may be next.
Kari
I am enjoying all the new commercials, 
SteveS
I don't mind the ads at all, at least on The Fox. Glad you are making some money, Sam
sam
Well I am not making much at all. It's a lobor of love. I need to make more, but thats a long story. But I can not just go commercial free and pay the monthly fees I have. It's not cheap.
SteveS
We are grateful for your labor of love We love you for all that you do. We are truly fortunate
humphreycpa
Good morning everyone. Going Bluetooth for my 2 hour drive home listening to A to Z.
SteveS
Travel safely, Humphrey
sam
Thank you Steve
Cjrmack
Nice didn't expect "Gone Gone Gone" would make the cut. One of my favorite Bad Co. songs.
Ironroad
Bad Company vs. NSync...yeah...I'm just old. Give me Bad Company any day over NSync.
Cjrmack
Same here!
Kari
that's the beauty of The Fox though, that you hear those two bands back-to-back
Cjrmack
Yes. Variety is the spice of life!
Cjrmack
A lot of songs start with "Good"
Brock
Good morning all. Directv....right uop my alley. Just left them after 24 years
Jeff
"Good Riddance" hit #11 on the Airplay chart.
Cjrmack
I bet I can guess the next song, well I guess everyone can.
Jeff
Must be the last Good song since Marky Mark is way too fried.
Cjrmack
Like you said Sam "Goodbye To You" is one of those songs that just seemed like a bigger hit. Was all over the radio. in 1982.
Cjrmack
Thanks for the tip on "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" I just realized I pretty much did not know any of the words to the 2nd verse and have heard the song tons of times.
Jeff
Love the Christine McVie song.
sam
Yea I never caught that part about hunting a toad until I saw the movie Rocket man and then I had to look at the lyrics.
Cjrmack
o.k. will take a stab at last song. since you might finish the "G"'s I will guess "Gypsy" by Fleetwood Mac.
sam
Stupid program the hour ended up one scond early and it thinks it needs to add a song for that one second
Jeff
Cjr, depending on how it's spelled I guess "Gypsies Tramps And Thieves".
Jeff
And by coincidence Cher is my guess for first H since "Had To Cry Today" and "Hair Of The Dog" are Zew songs.
sam
Had To Cry Today? Who does that song?
Jeff
That's not even on the Zew? I
sam
I have no idea who its is
Jeff
I have heard it on some Classic Rock stations.
sam
What artist is that
Jeff
"Had To Cry Today" is by Blind Faith.
sam
Never heard of it.
sam
can't find my way back home is the only song that I play on the zew. Only I know by them to be honest
Jeff
I've also heard Classic Rock play "Presence Of The Lord".
Kari
wow, I love this Daniel Bedingfield song, but this is a BIZARRE version
sam
I have heard that song before
sam
Thats the only version I have ever heard of Gotta get Thru This.
Cjrmack
I can think of 4 "Gypsy" songs, Fleetwood Mac, War, Bryan Hyland and as mentioned Cher.
sam
actually there are more than four that will be played
sam
and a few songs between those two cher songs also
sam
But none of those will be played today
Cjrmack
Wow I will have to search my musical memory bank to figure those out!
Cjrmack
I have a week to do it LOL
Jeff
There's also "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)". And I was confused about the spelling of the Cher song. I see it as "Gypsys Tramps And Thieves". But the correct plural of Gyosy is Gypsies.
sam
Those dang musical artist never have been able to spell. Even worse now
Cjrmack
Oh yes Crystal Waters. I tend to not remember or know songs past the 1980's much.
Jeff
I knew Whitney was fried but no George Benson?
Cjrmack
My favorite #38 song EVER is "I Don't Mind At All". Hope it made the cut.
sam
That song has The in front of it
sam
I believe it is in the 11 o'clock hour, but it is gonna be played
Cjrmack
Cool I will be listening for it.
Kari
I'm super excited for 38 peakers tomorrow and for this Dee Lite song, which is one of my all time faves
AC
What a groovy ending to the A-Z broadcast today, especially with the Duke of Earl!
AC
Walk Away from Donna Summer may be the only song to peak at #36 in 1980 that I like, though the song really belongs to 1979.
AC
Ok, Sometimes A Fantasy is another good 36 peaker in 1980.
MitchM
Hey, I escaped from the rehab center for a short while to come home and freshen up my clothing options. I will only be logged in for about 5 minutes. Everything is going relatively well. I will probably be released to go home on Tuesday, 08/20, so I will probably be listening starting on next Wednesday. Feeling better and stronger every day.
humphreycpa
Good to see you in here Mitch! Hope all is going well with you!
SteveS
So glad to hear you're doing well after major surgery, Mitch!
Brock
Mitch, great news! And you used a Chicago reference, which means you'll be back on your feet in no time. Take care!!
sam
That is awesome news!!!!! So glad to hear Mitch!
Brock
Hey Sam don''t firget to send me that ZCU file
Ironroad
The Osmonds! I grew up listening to them on my sister's albums.
AC
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the start of Woodstock, so ending the A-Z list with "groovy" songs today, and starting AMC Live next week with 1969 is right on! It's also groovy to hear that Mitch is doing better!
humphreycpa
Happy 38 day on the Fox Oldies!
dave in PA
Matchbox 20 was more popular than 38... wow
GT25Ump
I on Live 365 and can't hear anything...
sam
Playing fine here
Kari
GT, that's funny, I couldn't get Live 365 to work at all yesterday but today it's fine.
GT25Ump
I'm getting sound from other sites I try, I'll restart my PC and hope for the best, I'm really intrigued about these #38 peakers.
sam
go to tune in if that doesnt work
dave in PA
Knew you wouldn’t leave our new edition
GT25Ump
Working now, woohoo
GT25Ump
REALLY liked Getting Away With It, Electronic!
AC
Live365 not working for me either, though able to listen in on Tunein.
sam
That is really strange
Ironroad
Live 365 working for me.
humphreycpa
i just tried LIve365 and it's working for me
AC
Nice to hear some rare early 90s gems this morning.
AC
Live365 is working on my phone. The issue could be because there is a newer version of the operating system I am using.
sam
I sent a ticket in to see if there is a problem somewhere
AC
1980 double shot, where are you at Brock?
GT25Ump
Was Baby Talks Dirty on the same album as My Sharona? Don't wanna take the time to google it, so enlighten me, people.
sam
No. It was on their 2nd album But The Little Girls Understand
Brock
Just got here AC. Good morning all!
Brock
Just tried live 365 and it works here FWIW.
Brock
That Central Time Zone just threw me for a loop
sam
Ok they are asking for more info. GT what did it do. Where you going through the website or was it a saved URL. tell what it did or didnt do
GT25Ump
I was just using the "listen now" option on the website. But once again, I just rebooted/refreshed everything and it was good to go, so musta been my end.
Ironroad
sam, I missed the email address for requests. what is it?
GT25Ump
Bad Company was good stuff! In Neon....BLAH!
GT25Ump
This was the only #38 that I knew off the top of my head, Tied Up, ONJ, good shizzle!
GT25Ump
This Kane Roberts tune sounds like it comes right out of the hair band times of the late 80's, to me.
sam
He wrote a ton of songs that were hits during that time period
Cjrmack
Never made the connection to Elvis's death with Aretha when she passed last year.
sam
Kane was also the guitarist for Alice Cooper during the late 80's
Cjrmack
I remember when I heard about Elvis. I was 17 and working Landscape for my brother in law. I remember it was eerie because it was raining whihc it rarely does in So Cal in August. Really gloomy and rainy and we couldn't work.
Cjrmack
We we driving home and the news came on the radio
humphreycpa
I was playing in local youth golf outing (i was and am a hack) and came home after my flight to watch the Cubs game. I heard the WGN announcer report it. Ironically, we were driving through Tennesse on our way to Charlotte NC for a vacation two days later and saw all the flags at half staff.
Cjrmack
Loving this request hour!
AC
Same here! Thank you for playing a request of mine Sam!
humphreycpa
we are all thinking alike. it's fresh, it's good, it's a wide range of good songs.
Ironroad
Thanks for playing Kansas, Sam. Vinyl Confessions was my first exposure to this group. I heard "Diamonds and Pearls" and I was hooked on Kansas for life.
Cjrmack
Hearing great songs I have never heard before by well known artists. Like that.
Cjrmack
Great song by Kansas have never heard it before.
Ironroad
Vinyl Confessions was a good album all around.
sam
very welcome!
sam
More songs that peaked at 38 coming up
Ironroad
Sammy, sounds like the gang's all here and ready for the 11am hour!
sam
yea looks like everybody stayed. Thank you all for listening. have a great weekend.
AC
You too Sam!
Brock
1987 Beatles I love it! Oh wait.......
Brock
Hey Sam how do the Owls look for this season? Are they going to be better?
dave in PA
Good songs for the lunch hour don’t normally get to listen at this hour
Cjrmack
This song is one of my all time favorites "I Don't Mind At All"
Brock
I have to know because they're my adopted Texas state HS football team.
sam
Nope. The division they are in they are always gonna be the whipping post, until they realign it better
Brock
More 38 peakers Dave. You're up late.
Kari
wow, don't remember this BT song at all, like it a lot
Brock
Geez
AC
Like a fair amount of 38 songs, should have done better.
Brock
Kari I really thought it was a Beatles lost hot back when they released it in '87. Remember it well.
sam
The team will be better, because the coach is really good, but the record won't be.
Brock
hit
Brock
Got it. Realignment yeah we have a problem up here fielding teams in western Massachusetts, in our county anyway. Thinking of combining several schools into one, as you can imagine met with resistance.
humphreycpa
NIce Boz song. Only 38? Sheesh.
AC
There we go, Boz's 38 contribution, though it's not over! Good as always to hear Boz!!
Troy in CA
One of my very favorite PB songs.
Troy in CA
Great JS song!
dave in PA
Nothing
dave in PA
But good songs today. Thanks san
Troy in CA
IMO it seems like Sam kept some of the best #38 peakers until this last hour.
sam
Originally they were not gonna get played. Until the next time I feature the number 38. But since the program didnt program the 11 hour. They got played today. There were a lot of good options obviously
Troy in CA
Definitely, and most all of them unfried at this chart level. Except for Love Stinks and that came only in the years after it was featured on The Wedding Singer.
Ironroad
ahhh...Steely Dan. Unmistakable sound.
Brock
It's not Him, but bnetter than hearing crispy Escape!
Ironroad
I just like the band Steely Dan.
Brock
FM my favorite single Iron
humphreycpa
Great first hour of SND. Got to listen to it in the car. Hour 2 starting strong.
humphreycpa
Happy 1969 everyone! Another Monday on the road. only a 1 hour drive this morning.
Kari
hey all, it's quiet this morning but I'm enjoying the 60s tunes
sam
Good numbers this morning, They are just quiet.
humphreycpa
i'm in and out on the chat board. this work thing is getting in the way to chat. 
Troy in CA
Rod Argent's keyboard work is classic.
Kari
every Donovan song freaks me out for some reason. His voice is just, creepy I guess
Cjrmack
Not a big Donovan fan either Kari. "Yellow Melloe" to me is one of the most annoying songs ever.
Cjrmack
Mellow
Cjrmack
"I Don't Know Why" is very obscure as far as Stevie songs go but it isa one of my favorites.
Cjrmack
5 of 6 of debuts from March 22nd were R&B hits.
Cjrmack
LOL Sam, I know what comes after Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter.
sam
Yea that's where I stop on here though!
Cjrmack
Chart trivia- "Try A Little Tenderness" the first of 21 consecutive Top 40 hits for Three Dog Night. They would never have a charting single after the 21st.
Cjrmack
That 4 hours flew by!
humphreycpa
this was a nice trip through 1969....i'm putting dates with songs that i've heard over the last 50 years.
Jeff
Sam, the ZZ Top song is listed as "I'm Bad I'm Nashionwide". Just thought you'd like to know.
sam
I know that, What did I say?
Brock
Boz Scaggs! Oh, wait, that's What CAN I Say? Dang.
Kari
An absolutely amazing run of songs in the last 45 minutes. That's why I love the Fox!!!
