Thank you

Over the last week, I've seen the best parts of community online. While many websites describe themselves as a community, they're no more than a bulletin board for folks to catch up. It doesn't matter if it's called GeoCities or MySpace, it's just a big email account.

WOXY is dramatically different. Started by Doug and Linda and carried on the airwaves for more than two decades, WOXY became a place where people built memories and shared experiences through music.

While WOXY is broadcasted across the Internet to far reaching places, it always carries a bit of Cincinnati, OH and the incredible kind spirit of the people here. They're independent and believe that music is more than just some form of content but it's a part of their culture and their lives.

Over the next year, I'll work to tell music fans across the States and the globe that independent music started in Oxford, OH and it foster in your city through WOXY.com. The music scene in San Francisco during the 60's changed a generation and believe that what's happening at WOXY could turn the tide of 'one size fits all' music.

What was started in Ohio may change music forever and define it's future.

We'll be providing some ideas for how you can help WOXY later this week and next week will be an amazing moment for WOXY and the future of Rock and Roll.

More than ever, I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue the tradition you've built.

BAM....

No Bill, thank you!

Thank you, Bill. I had a blast tonight meeting you. It's become more than Cincinnati, it's become world wide. I came in from Michigan just to be with my newfound friends from the Cincinnati area and also to meet you. You're a class act and your energy is amazing. I'm looking forward to your vision for woxy, and the future of rock and roll. Stay true, and it'll all come back to you tenfold. We love you!

Red beans and rice, grits and conebread (that's right CONEbread), watermelon and collard greens! These are a few of my favorite things!!! I'm gonna have to add Bill's name to the list of my favorite things!!! Right between conebread and watermelon!!! Thanks Bill!! I know I'm just a junior member, but I've been reading these posts for a couple of years anyway. I joined when my "home skillet" insisted that I join the board.

i wondered how long it would take for someone to jump on that - 1 min, record time, bonus points awarded.

thanks, from atlanta, bill!
you summed it up perfectly in that post!

you have so much energy in your words (which is hard to accomplish in typed form) and I can't wait to see what the future holds in store for the "little engine that could!"

Zane · #12 26 Sep 2006, 07:22 AM

...and I can't keep up.

Will the same format be kept or do we know yet?

Handy Smurf · #13 26 Sep 2006, 07:25 AM

thanks again Bill. I'm glad I got the oppurtunity to meet you last night

The future is bright indeed Bill. Thanks for all youve done is such a short time. We all look forward to a long, fruitful relationship.

Bam indeed.....
