WHFS From Bill Ripped on 09-27-2013

OK...Here is another tape from contributer Bill. All I can tell you is it's from WHFS, probably early to mid 80's.
As with a lot of the other tapes Bill sent me, this TDKD90 tape doesn't even have a single word written on it. And Bill liked to tape the tunes...forget all the DJ chatter, commercials and what not. At the end of the tape is actually a sentence spoken by an unknown (to me) DJ letting us know we just heard a tune from World Party.
Maybe Bill will have a listen and recall when he taped it. It's full of good tunes, not to chopped up, so a pretty sweet listen. Thanks Bill!

Thomas Dolby, Don Dixon, Robert Cray, World Party and whole bunch of stuff that sounds familiar, but I can't identify.

    Side one starts with a pair of songs from the 3 O'Clock: Jet Fighter and Susie's on the ball." Saw them open for someone. Next up the classic, March in Time by Cowboys International. I was in a Georgetown record store and they were playing the album. It sounded like a greatest hits album. I bought it.

    Bill...you are the man! I don't think to this day I recall knowing anything about these bands. Now it's off to google for a search hopefully find some links for a download.
    thanks so much!

    Also the Communards: Love that "I will take you to an amusement park." But I don't know who did it.

    And side two had among others, Natalie Merchant, Suzanne Vega, Dolby, Cray, Martha and the Muffins and the Del Lords. Yes, named after the producer of the 3 Stooges. One of my favorite songs of the 80s was something called St. Jake. And while reading one day, discovered it was Del Lords "Rock and Roll radio for goodness sake, Blessed are the faithful; St. Jake."

    Love that Del Lords tune!

    Thanks for posting this … used to listen to HFS while attending NoVa Alex and then working as a tech inker for beltway bandits in Alexandria. Couldn't get HFS down on the farm where I lived so that was one of the perks of driving up Shirley Hwy … tuning into HFS. Plus making a decent wage.

    always great to hear from someone with fond memories of HFS...not sure it was worth the drive up I395 however...
