The HoDad has been busy reeling in a fresh catch of tunes for the next Luau. Our Halloween special was extremely well received. If you missed it, have a listen anytime Friday via the station’s website at archive.WSLR.org. It’s guaranteed to make your Fright Night a wee bit scarier. On Monday’s show we will unveil a taste of the new SPACE JUNK LP from Marty Stuart and the Superlatives. It is an EPIC double album which you’ll be hearing a lot of in the coming weeks.

Yes … the HoDad still ABIDES. But how much longer that continues depends on YOU, our loyal listener. Contributions through Day 5 have been rather pathetic to say the least. Today’s the day you can change that. Be like our SUPERFAN Marie of Hollywood and give what you can to help us continue our quest for nostalgia, a few laughs, and steady positive vibes. Go to WSLR.org and click on the DONATE button. Memberships start at just $15. Are you a friend or a foe … let me know! ❤️😎🎶📻🐒🏝️☀️🎙️🏴‍☠️ WSLR.org ***Make sure you mention the HoDad and The Longboat Luau as your favorite weekly program! 😉

Alright kids … the time has come for me to BEAT THE DRUMS one more time. LOUDLY! Our WSLR Fall Membership Dirve is in Day 3 and our Luau fans have been far too quiet. We pour our heart and soul into this weekly show and count on our small but loyal group of listeners to pitch in just twice a year. 52 shows a year … 2 hours per show … 35-40 unique songs per show. That’s a boatload of entertainment value. That said … we need to raise $1000 between now and end of day Tuesday. And right now we have a LONG, LONG WAY TO GO. If you don’t listen on a regular basis, I can’t really expect you to participate. But if you do, God bless ya! If you are a fan of the program, we are REALLY counting on ya this time. PLEASE go to WSLR.org now and select the CLICK TO DONATE bar. PLEASE make sure to mention the HoDad and The Longboat Luau. With your help, we can keep this party going! ❤️🏴‍☠️🎶😎🎙️📻☀️🐒🏝️ WSLR.org
