Johnny needs to make a correction. He reported our Oscoda Owls had lost last Friday night to Elk Rapids. His score app had the score inverted so in fact it was Oscoda over Elk Rapids 20-0. Better yet tonight over at the Owls Nest the Oscoda Eleven trounced those hated Tawas Braves (Boo hiss) 36-0 to move to 3-2 on the season and are home again next Friday night vs Harbor Springs.

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PATSY CLINE!

Johnny always tries to include some kind of song on the Music Series each week that could be a good singalong. He's also of the mind that Patsy Cline has the best voice he's ever heard. So, you are free to try and get this one right but it's a fools errand in Johnny's mind.

He's pulling for you though. 'Crazy' starting off the festivities tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE JACKSON 5!

Sad losing Tito Jackson earlier this month. So key in making the Jackson 5 a success. Let's turn this around to a happy note and celebrate a bit of Motown on this wonderful night for the Detroit Tigers who clinched a playoff berth after ten years away from the postseason. 'The Love You Save' up next.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ROCKPILE!

A criminally underrated band with a fabulous lineup of Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds, Billy Bremner and Terry Williams. An oddity in the music world here as the leaders of the band, Edmunds and Lowe were signed to different record labels. 

It's a fact. 'Teacher Teacher' taking us out tonight.

Did you know then, Tsutomu Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima the day the first atomic bomb dropped on a business trip. 3 days later he had returned to his home in Nagasaki, just in time to have to survive yet another atomic bomb. He lived until age 93. Now you know.

 Did you know then, about a month after the statue’s 1886 dedication, it became a working lighthouse for 16 years, with its torch visible from 24 miles away. 

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BON JOVI!

Know who did real good this week? Jon Bon Jovi (and a member of his camera crew) who saw a woman standing on the wrong side of a ledge along a pedestrian walkway in Nashville over the Cumberland River. We don't know what was said but police and mental health experts said Jon handled the matter with aplomb. The important thing is someone is getting help they didn't have previously and Jon Bon Jovi had a hand in that. 

That's worth a Music Series appearance. 'You Give Love A Bad Name' starting things off tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE MIGHTY LEMON DROPS!

Heading back all the way to 1988 for this gem. 'Inside Out' still sounding good after all this time.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with COLDPLAY!

Busting out a song that Mrs. Johnny used to just adore. It really grew on Johnny as well. 'Clocks' taking us out tonight.
