CONGRATS RONNIE!

Isn't she hot?!

That's a very special friend of mine, RONNIE NYLES who has been my friend for WAYYYYY looooonger then i want to admit...(because we're both still 29!)

She is also this year's WAMI FEMALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR!!!

I first met Ronnie in Green Bay when she was one half of an awesome duet called Ladysmith. (her partner was Chris Gerard who is the sister of Greg and the ex-sister-in-law of KEEDY who had a really cool song in the early 90's Called Save some love-i still love that song!)

We were both poor and starving...we use to take turns for dinner...and we always had the same thing...SPAGHETTI...here's the deal...with spaghetti....you always have plenty, and there is always leftovers...that's all we ATE...which is why, to this day, i don't care for spaghetti...it's all i ate in the 80's!

ANYHOO....flash forward um, a few years and;

Ronnie has recorded a very special song called Barbados Song which was about the famous race horse who had to be put down earlier this year...all the proceeds went stop the horse slaughterhouses that still exist in this country (i'll have more on that in a future blog).

Ronnie and the band Krash are going to be opening up for Joan Jett and the Blackhearts at Pridefest, Sunday June 10 and rocking the Harley Stage at Summerfest, Friday, June 29!

Ronnie is this year's WAMI FEMALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR and her fans, Tina, and me are very proud of her!

GOODBYE, KTI

I just want to say thanks to my WKTI family for a year of a half of fun, memories and Krispy Kremes!

There wasn't one day that i came to work and thought..."man, i'd rather be working at Burger King"...even though from what i understand they provide free uniforms... No, it has been a true vacation at KTI and i had a blast working with people that i absolutely admired and have come to love;

Lipps Labelle whose sense of humor made Thursday jock meetings so much fun that i was always tempted to sneak popcorn and sodas in so i could further enjoy the show...Dan Kyle who once shared with me his most deepest and innermost secret and which i promised never to reveal...(but what the heck, i'm leaving)...his love of the Macarena...sure, he'll deny that he once said it was his favorite tune of ALL TIME...but who are you gonna believe, a guy with a successful midday show or this loser(?)...Gino who was so hip i knew the first time i met him that he wasn't from Iowa...and the one person i refuse to say goodbye since i know i will run into him at Speedway...Gene Mueller..."hey Gene, that one chick with 6 tatoos who makes coffee in the morning says hi--i can't remember her name but she says you'll know who"...then there's Lisa Letterman who always had the right words at the right time like last November after i got out of the hospital...she comforted me with words of wisdom from the guy who wrote the book "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff." Then two days later i read his obit in the Journal...(should have sweated the small stuff i guess....)

Earlier this year i decided to challenge myself with new challenges that absolutely scared me...like math classes, and i'm happy to report that i now know how to multiply fractions AND identify mixed ...um....oh shoot i forgot how to do it again...i'm sure this knowledge will come back to me right about the time your car pulls up to my window and i hand you your delicious golden fries...ummmm...no more transfats...i hope you don't mind if i eat a few of your fries...it's not like you need that many anyway...

You probably noticed that i didn't include Bob Reitman in this list...that's because he promised to loan me his Bob Dylan CD....the one that had Tangled up in Blue on it...and then never got back to me...thanks alot Bob!...just for that i want ALL my Abba 8 tracks back...that's right...ALL OF THEM...even Super Trouper ...and while your at it Dan Kyle would like his cd single of the Macarena back...
