The rest of the credits

Now that I've had a day to sleep it off, and memories are coming into focus, I want to take the opportunity to thank some more folks who made this such a great weekend.

WPKN table & hippie van:
Thanks to Paul Nordling for the van, and Terry Hopper & Kathy Reilly for spending an incredible amount of time meeting and greeting listeners all weekend long. You may have also met Mark Muller, Sam Hopkins, DJ Darkflow, Bobby Mondavi, and John Corvino, among others.

The following WPKN programmers yielded precious air time for the broadcast:

• 3rd Thursday: Cliff Furnald, Binnie Klein, John Motavalli, Bob Shapiro, Eric Ford
• 3rd Friday: Dave O., Richard Pheneger, Howard Thompson, Mike Horyczun, Ray Terlaga, Kathy de Mino, Eric Ford
• 3rd Saturday: Car Bob, John Lugo, Deb Guhl, Larry Stoler, Jeff Day, Mikki
• 4th Sunday: Lou Pomales, Pam Smith, Liz Becker (filling in for Bill & Joan Nolan)

These folks all do wonderful radio. Please give them a listen when you have a chance. Special thanks to program director Ebong Udoma for letting me wreak havoc with the schedule for four days.

Don't forget, WPKN is a listener-supported community station. It's listeners like you who keep it going. Please consider making an online donation today.

Roll the credits

You've heard Janet, Cliff, Dagan, Gordy, and me all weekend on mic, but this broadcast would be impossible without the many people behind the scenes. Many programmers yielded their air time so that we could do this special broadcast, and many others volunteered their time in the WPKN studio watching the board and programming radio between bands all weekend, or hanging out at our tent and van at the festival. If I leave any names out, please don't be upset.

In-studio support: Terry Hopper, Bob Johnson, Sam Hopkins, Rod Richardson, Dave O., Mark Muller, Collette Rossignol, DJ Dizzy, Eric Ford, Mark Mushin, DJ Mondavi, Larry Stoler & Phil Bowler, Jeff Day, Del, Liz Becker, Tom Poplawski, and Lou Pomales.

Special thanks to Dave Schwartz, who doesn't like to take credit, but is the technical wizard who sets up our remote studio here on the festival grounds, WPKN's technical director Mark Conese for the in-studio work, and former General Manager Peter Bochan for the vision and leadership in our studio upgrade. WPKN's new General Manager Steve di Costanzo has worked tirelessly to coordinate things around the studio and with our on-site tent and hippie van.

Thanks to Ken Hays for inviting us to be part of Gathering of the Vibes, and to the staff for their support, and my broadcast partner Gordon Taylor –  as Main Stage MC.

Above all, thanks to my wife Janet Golden for coming with me on this crazy adventure for the past six years.
