Vanuary on the FBY!

This weather sure is wacky! Three straight days of sun and nice temperatures! I'm lovin' it.(to borrow a marketing phrase from McDonalds) And of course it's makes for some spring skiing conditions at the resorts. Cold temps are back by the weekend and I'm hoping for snow so I can head to Canaan Valley with the kids and hit the slopes!

Heard on the FBY today! My magic eight ball says......AC/DC will have a new album out come springtime. This will be the first release from the Back in Black crew since the year 2000. The title(at least from my sources) is "Strap One On" Angus and the boys are sure to be putting out something completely cool and rockin' More details soon!

Interesting story here about how much money Sammy Hagar made on the sale of 80 percent of his Cabo Wabo Tequila.

No doubt that the Van Halen reunion tour with David Lee Roth will rake in millions, but not as much as the band's former singer Sammy Hagar made in one day last year. When Hagar sold 80-percent of his Cabo Wabo tequila company to Gruppo Campari, the "Red Rocker" pocketed a cool 80-million dollars, which places him fifth on Forbes magazine's list of the Top 20 Paydays of 2007 for the entertainment industry. Gruppo has an option to buy the remaining 20-percent over the next five to eight years. Director George Lucas was number-one on the list with 200-million. Other celebs on the list included Oprah Winfrey, Donald Trump and Wayne Gretzky.

Make sure to come out to JC Maxey's on January 18th to see all the contestants in the Ring Girl competition. And girls come on out....you can win up to $1000.00 in cash and other prizes! Plus you'll be the center of attention on January 25th and 26th at the Nathan Goff Armory in Clarksburg for the Original Toughman Contest!!!

Make sure to check out Alice Cooper Monday thru Saturday from 7pm-Midnight. He's got a really cool show.

Have a great weekend!!! It's basketball time for myself and my sons this weekend. We'll

WFBY Holiday Week!!!

Hi and Thanks for rockin'!!
It's pretty quiet around the rockin' radio landscape this week as lots of folks are taking some much needed days off. (me included) I'm currently in Hilton Head, South Carolina where it was 70 degrees and sunny today!!! Wow what a change from the Mountain State. I'll be back on air on WFBY on Monday December 31 to count down the New Year!!!
Good Luck to the West Virginia Mountaineers as they head to Arizona and the Wednesday January 2nd Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma. Coach Stewart is leading the team and I've heard practices with him have been good and the team is pumped.
Don't forget to wear your blue and gold on Wednesday. My Chicago brother-in-law just gave me a really nice Blue WVU sweatshirt with gold letters and I'll be sporting that on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the search for a new coach continues. I think the University is looking for a coach who can continue the spread offense to help the players who are currently here, and the ones Coach Rod has recruited. It's gonna be a very capable coach no matter who they pick. I expect an announcement next week after the bowl game.

John Boy and Billy will give you a chance to win a DVD player and some free movies to watch this winter starting on Wednesday morning January 2nd. It's gonna be a great 2008!!!

The West Virginia Toughman competition is our first fun event coming up at the end of January. Listen to the FBY over the next several weeks for your chance to win your FREE tickets.
