The Doctor Is In Late on WQMA (Aug 20, 2005)

We had problems receiving the show this week as the show CD's did not arrive. We called Dr. D's company to arrange for last minute delivery of the show. They were VERY great about overnighting us a show that arrived Friday. Ordinarily, this would mean everything would turn out okay, but our automation system is failing as of Friday night and I can't enter the show into it.

We will have the problem fixed mid-Saturday. All other programs including AT10, and American Gold will air as normal as we received these programs earlier. This week, during Dr D's normal timeslot, we will be repeating last weeks show.

THIS weeks episode will air at a special time of 9pm central, Saturday. This makes a total of 8 hours of demented programming this Saturday on WQMA (times are adjusted for Pacific Time):

4-6am Dr D Last Week
9am-1pm American Gold
7-9pm Dr D This Week

Sorry for the mixup, but thanks for listening. BTW, next week, we have an announcement regarding an amazing addition to our weekend programming lineup. WQMA has tried to be somewhat of a "superstation" playing the best national radio shows available anywhere all weekend. Out of all the shows we air, I'm most proud and excited about this one. Perhaps one of the biggest DJ's of all time will be joining WQMA. Stay tuned.

Two With Ten Years on the Web (Aug 21, 2005)

Drummer "Bermuda" Schwartz, a 25-year member of the backup band for "Weird Al" Yankovic, first posted his Bermuda Files about "Weird Al" Yankovic on the web!

The very first address was at earthlink.net, and a short time later, it was moved to www.loop.com/~bermuda/index.htm (which is listed in the Bad Hair Day album booklet).

It has since been moved to the http://www.weirdal.com/ domain.

And on that same day, my first website, now known as "Dave's Datebooks", was built with the assistance of Steve Holstein, the publisher and editor-in-chief of his radio prep website Interprep (http://www.interprep.com/). It has migrated from site to site and finally got its own domain in 2002 at http://today.davesfunstuff.com/.
