98.5 KOME – Fan Blog

I have been noticing that readers do not seem to notice where I have the interviews with Jeff Blazy, Bob Lilley, and the other folks from KOME placed so I am going to move them to the top some how tonight. I am loving this new Word Press, it seems much more easily manipulated. But for now, please check this link for the interview with Jeff Blazy ~ http://kome-rocks.santacruzdreamz.com/2008/12/11/interview-with-jeff-blazy/

I am in the process of trying to determine if a white background template would serve this blog better and would love to hear what you think about that. I think a white or light colored scheme may help in the navigation process.

This process will be done over the next few days so please keep an eye out for the new look for 2009!

I am also hoping to get input on who you would like to see an interview with next, I am open to ideas so just leave word here!

Bay Bridge in Blue

Originally uploaded by andy_57

If Santa were to give me just one wish for Christmas it would be to be sitting at this scene , breathlessly waiting for the sun to rise. You have never seen a sunrise until you have seen it in the Bay Area. If you have ever watched the movie The Emperors New Groove at one point the Patcha tells the Emperor that the hills near his home “sing”, well the hills in the Bay Area do really sign in the hours of the suns arrival.

So, yes Santa I am waiting patiently for the time to be right for my family and I to go home. I am not so great at the patience thing but I am trying.

My wishes to each and everyone of you who come here for the best Christmas. I hope your exactly where you want to be , with the people who mean the most to you.

God Bless

I just spend a most pleasurable two hours listening to some spectacular music…… have to say I am speechless.
So I thought I would share a few of the tunes I listened to with you, via good old YouTube. Not the same versions mind you, but the feelings are there. To set the mood, it is raining here. Not the mind numbing rains Kentucky normally can see, rather a gentle hush of rain. The kind of rain that makes you feel safe.

A guitar in the hands of its lover is something to behold, Steve Vai is a master. I could spend the rest of my days simply listening to the great guitarists we have been so fortunate to have in our lives and never get bored. Page, Vai, Montrose, Satriani, I could go on. And I probably will here soon As far as I am concerned, we do not need singing, just let loose with the tunes on guitar.

Guitar music is a thing for me, can ya tell?

Steve Vai ~ For The Love of God

For my kids who are HUGE FF fans….. Rain King by Counting Crows:

Ronnie Montrose ~ Town Without Pity :

Please, as always go and support each artist listed here, for they gave us the joy of great music.
You can subscribe to Steve Vai’s YouTube Channel here.….
And the Steve Vai Official Home Page here.

Here is Ronnie’s Homepage *linked to my favorite album period from Montrose*

And here is the Counting Crows Home Page

And Finally, here is Satriani’s Home Page ( check out the video I just wanna rock, the cutest robot is in it) Album sounds slammin!

To my friend who turned me onto some beautiful music, thank you so much.

Well? What would you say?

I am looking for fans of Blazy and Bob who would like to help me get them back on the air in the Bay Area.

I would like to say I am a tiny bit experienced in fan revolts, being a Jericho Fan. I was in that fray from start to finish, still dabble in it as of today.

I realize how hard it is to get the attention of the powers that be, trust me. But I also know some tricks now. It is not impossible to get the attention of the executives and let them know you want quality radio shows.

If you are a fan of Blazy and Bob and want to jump into a fun adventure just leave word here, or you can sign up for the up coming newsletter or you can email me and subscribe.

So do you want to help get Blazy and Bob back on the air????

Also, please leave comments here about how you feel, I am really interested in hearing stories from the fans!

Here it is, Christmas time again. This year is going to be harder than any other year for so many people, there is loss of jobs, loss of income from other properties such as stock portfolios. Our bills are higher, mortgages and car payments and utilities.Add into the fray school loans or other credit card type debts and you have a bad situation.

Debt can keep you awake at night, make you afraid to answer your phone and cause so much strife in your family. You feel like your are literally drowning! You do not have to have those stressful emotions playing with you like a toy, there is a way to get your life back on track.

You can look into debt consolidation it could be the answer you are looking for. Debt Consolidation can give you help by getting a rein on the debt you face by combining your debt into one payment and you do not have to do so by getting a Personal Loan!
You can get a helpful person to give you all the information you need, you do not have to own a home and there are no credit checks.
