Long Delayed, But Finally Here’s the 26th Semi-Annual “Theme Attic” Hall of Fame Show, Wednesday 12PM-4PM EDT!!!

 
 

It’s hard to believe that almost 4 months has gone by since I originally scheduled this show.

That’s right.

One week cancellation caused 4 months of delay!

For the most part, I plan my shows in 3 month blocks. It’s not a haphazard thing.

So, when a show gets delayed, if there’s already enough shows planned, it gets pushed back until it can fit.

And, I also will rearrange schedules for special interviews and events. But I am never worried about running out of themes or ideas. I’m never scrambling to fill up my timeslots.

Well, then, it’s time for the 26th Semi-Annual “Theme Attic” Hall of Fame Show on Wednesday from 12PM-4PM EDT with host @philmaq !

No countdown this week.

The emphasis is on the legends this week!

Since the Hall of Fame keeps expanding, there will also be plenty of local inductees like Billy Brandt (@billybrandt194 ), Roger Ponder, @garybrowe and @judybanker who is hosting the Pete Seeger at @the_ark_ann_arbor on Thursday!

All the greats pictured and many other artists like @joepeters_music will help me jam as many songs into the show as I can!

Tune into 89.3FM in the Dearborn-Detroit, Michigan area, ask Alexa to find it, or stream it with this semi-annuallinky link!: https://whfr.fm/streamer/

Please share!

Let’s Get Started Earlier This Year with the Annual Spring Cleaning Show on “Theme Attic,” Wednesday 12PM-4PM EDT!!!

A Gigantus “Thank You” to everyone that contributed to “Theme Attic” and WHFR during our Radiothon pledge drive last week!

It’s was an amazing experience, and it is so very very much loved and appreciated!

It’s wonderful to know that what I do is reaching accepting ears who then turn that into support!

Wow!

For today’s show, there will be a variety of artists selected from my mp3 player that have mostly been on it for quite a while! (That’s the Spring Cleaning that I speak of!)

They’re really good songs that haven’t found a home in a theme or a Countdown!

So, once a year, I like to spotlight them this way!

There will be plenty of Michigan artists as well!

A Top 9 at 2:09 PM EDT will highlight this week’s Fave Albums!

Artists between 2PM-4PM EDT will include @judybanker @newtranslationsband @karynoliver @angelaperley @thesilverlinesband @joedaiwarriors @nataliemcmaster97 @xandria_official @garybrowe Roger Ponder and more!!!

Radiothon “Theme Attic” Starts Earlier and Features Judy Banker, Gary Browe, and Roger Ponder, Wednesday 11AM-4PM EDT!!!

Radiothon is always special on “Theme Attic,” a quirky weekly Wednesday show hosted by DJ Phil Maq ;

This week it will start earlier 11AM-4PM EDT!!!

The show features music based on subjects as well as countdowns and interviews.

Songwriter/Singers are often on display, and this year for Radiothon is no exception!

Last year, local musicians Judy Banker (@judybanker) and Roger Ponder played songs and discussed their music careers with Phil.

In an effort to one up himself, Singer/Songwriter, Gary Browe (@garybrowe) has been added to “Theme Attic” along with Judy and Roger!

That’s a true three-fer!

Or something like that!

Join all four on Wednesday April 9th from 11AM-4PM as they all prove their support to the station and humbly ask for listener support in return!

Tune into @whfrfmradio 89.3 FM in the Dearborn-Detroit area or stream it with this radiothon link: https://whfr.fm/streamer/ !
