Welcome to Mo nday Mayh e m! The place where nothing matters and we can all have fun on a Monday. Every week is something different. All the meme questions are in bold.

Monday Mayhem: Five Easy Questions

1. Lindsay Lohan was recently sentenced to 90 days in jail. What do you think her future has in store for her? Everyone knows the Lindsay Lohan is undoubtedly one of the geniuses of her generation. The amount of true art and creative abilities that the world will lose while she is incarcerated is immeasurable. Experts fear we may see her gone for up to a week! Isn’t this America anymore? I also predict that she will come out of jail as an old shell of the woman that we worshiped.

2. What is the biggest fashion “don’t” that you would like to police? Asking me to talk about fashion is like asking me about blog etiquette. Although, you needn’t be a genius to find the Blog Police outfits bizarre.

3. How should we punish sites that lure us in with “read this” and take us somewhere where we are first greeted by a pop-up and then a series of click throughs to actually read the meat of the story? Personally I think never returning should do it. There was a time where we were barraged with pop-ups. I’m not saying that they are gone, but it is a hell of better. Harriet, were you thinking of something like a beheading?

4. What is the most you will do to post a comment on a site? At what point is it not worth posting a comment? I will type in the funky letters and numbers. What I will never understand is why someone with comment moderation on is asking us to prove that we are human. You are already reading the fucking comment before publishing. Do you think that you are CIA?

5. If you purchase something online and you are charged for postage, is it still reasonable to charge for “shipping and handling”? What exactly does “shipping and handling” entail? I think it entails a box and the labor to put the shit in the box. I do not think the UPS fairy genie does it all. Of course it is reasonable. It is equally reasonable to decide it is too expensive and not order it. Only five fucking questions? Wow. It must be an important holiday like Frank Perdue’s birthday. I better buy some chicken. But I would like to thank the academy. I’ve always wanted to say that.

ALSO: My lady Kathy and I attended the 35th Anniversary Party of The Day the Music Died at WPOP a former rock station in Hartford. I’d like to shout out to all who attended. Lee Gordon who did both midday and afternoon drive back in the day organizes the events. Known as “Doc” Lee went on to do production and be the voice of both WPOP as a news station (WPOP was a news, then news/talk station until about 10 years ago. Today it is known as ESPN Radio 1410.) and the various incarnations of 104.1 FM as well as the voice of Channel 3, Hartford’s CBS station.

My connections were as DJ Gary Hunter on Magic 104, a sales rep at WPOP and Magic 104 then Star 104.1 and ultimately the first sales manager of Radio 104.1, Connecticut’s first alternative rock station WMRQ. Recently 104.1 was sold to a local Connecticut company. The company bought back the WMRQ call letters and returned to alternative as Radio 104.1. Besides Lee, we saw Steve Parker who does a ton of TV these days. Bill Hennessy once Hartford’s premiere news anchor at NBC 30 (now in his eighties looking about 60!) was there.

We also spoke to Kevin the Afternoon Guy from Radio 104.1 back in my days. Ron Pell long time General Sales Manager of WDRC, Jim Esposito former GM at WPOP, my sales manager mentor and good friend Bob Lang, Walt Pinto who was Kent Clark when I was The Hunter at 91Q, former WPOP and WMAS sales rep Tammy Rabbet, Jim Beaucamp former PD at news radio WPOP and we chatted with one of my all time favorite DJs: Dick McDonaugh who after years at WDRC spent 15 years that ended recently at WMAS. I hope that I didn’t miss anyone! It was a real treat to catch up with everyone. Peace. We’re back Wednesday.

That’s a wrap on WTIT: The Blog for a Monday.
Sorry we were late for the party, again.
We always takes a day off on Tuesdays.
Unless we don’t.
We’re back with Wednesday Wickedness.
Same time. Same blog.

Drinking Songs and Gentlemen

As with any group of friends in high school or college, we had our share of drinking songs. The songs were fairly simple and stupid old time tunes. While we were playing the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Moody Blues, the Who and such, but when it came to singing, our choices were “Coney Island Baby”, “This Land is Your Land” or any equally mind numbing ditties. Our favorite song to sing though was a jingle for a local jewelry store.

A man named Bill Savitt owned the store. You couldn’t drive a mile on I-84 without seeing a billboard of Bill. His store advertised on TV and radio constantly. When Chester Fields and I recorded a take off of the old Dragnet show, we used an actual commercial of Savitt Jewelers from TV. It stated, “I’m sure you all know Bill Savitt, a man who has been standing on his head for 35 years to give you the best deals…” In those days no local guy could afford video or film for a commercial. It would be a simple picture or two, while the announcer read the script. This picture had Bill Savitt upside down to appear he was “standing on his head”. You can’t make this shit up, you have to experience it.

The jingle we sang went like this:

It’s such a beautiful site, when you look to the right…
Going south on the Charter Oak Bridge,
You’ll see The Traveler’s Tower and a whole lot more,
Like the Constitution Plaza and Bill Savitt’s Jewelry Store.
For weddings and birthdays and anniversaries-
Bill Savitt, He’ll have it, the perfect gifts for these.
You’ll find quality service, you’ll dollar buys more
At 35 Asylum Street, Bill Savitt’s Jewelry Store.

Quite the tune, eh? Flash-forward in my life and the year is 1992. I was working at WTIC radio in sales. WTIC had a morning man who at times had the largest audience in the country. His name was Bob Steele and he was now in his eighties. A great man and a true gentleman. He was retiring and I so respected the man that I got someone to take a picture of us together right after his final show. A few weeks later they had this huge Retirement Party at the best hotel in Hartford. (I know that is like saying, “the smartest monkey in the zoo”…) That night I met Bill Savitt. He was a charming guy, about the same age as Bob Steele. I related the story to Bill Savitt that I just told you. He responded, “Do you still remember the jingle?” I responded, “Of course”. He asked, “Will you sing it with me?”

That was the night that 200 people heard me singing the Bill Savitt drinking song with none other than Bill Savitt. It wasn’t like singing “Yesterday” with Paul McCartney, but it was terrific fun.

Neither Bill Savitt nor Bob Steele are still with us. But, they were today, because they were in our post. Rest in peace, my friends. You will be long remembered.

This post was first published on May 6, 2006 and was our tenth post. We had almost no readers, a malady that nearly all of us bloggers suffer when we are new. But members of the Savitt family discovered the post and I thought that this time I’d include their comments:

I don’t know why but I thought of “POMG” this morning. I lived in Hartford as a young kid back in the 70s and can remember that old guy doing his ads. One day we were in the shop and he came out. He was the nicest man and spent time chatting with us.

We lived in Cheshire. I notice some of the Savitts checked in here – Bill was a close friend of my father’s. When I was 8 years old, he gave me a golden ruler with my name on it. It said “Think Big, Work Hard, Have a Dream” and then it said: “The Measure of Love is Love Without Measure”. Isn’t that beautiful? And that was 45 years ago. I wonder if the Savitts knew of his golden rulers? Bill Savitt was a gem of a man who I have never forgotten. I lost my golden ruler but never forgot the kindness of him to have given it to me, and to share such incredible sentiments. He was always smiling. A wonderful man who made a lifetime impact: Bill Savitt.

It was at this point I knew people were actually reading blogs!

That’s it for your Hump Day edition

incredibly fantastic! Or, we might suck.

Here it is July 2nd. Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? We are all on the clock. I have always felt that Memorial Day to Labor Day seems to be about three weeks. Labor Day to New Years takes just about a month it seems. I am preparing for my second annual July 4th picnic. Last year I had a lot of help from my girlfriend of the time. This year I am flying solo for it. Unless of course, Match.com comes through tonight.

My dad Bierne found an incredible deal on porterhouse steaks. So he called and asked about how many people would be there. I expect 10 or 12. So the good news is that Bierne is bringing steaks. The bad news is that Bierne is bringing steaks. I don’t cook. I order delivery. It is neither smart nor wise but it is the way it is. I realized that the paper plates I bought were worthless and I needed more silverware, particularly steak knives. While I was digesting that I was on my way to a liquor store that is a customer of mine. I passed a dollar store. Of course! In and out in a breeze, steak knives, plates and chairs. But when I got home I realized I forgot forks. I work again tomorrow. I pass lots of dollar stores.

I haven’t mentioned the email I received from a local TV station. They love this blog and want to interview me on the world of all things blog. I hope they know that WTIT stands for “Where Tape Is Tape”. Anyway that’ll be my story but that credit goes to Mimi Lenox who coined the phrase (before we met, although haven’t we known each other forever?) when writing a review of this blog for the old Bestest Blog site. I don’t know much more, but I am to be contacted next week. Cool!

My hot housekeeper phoned me Monday. And no it was not for a rendezvous (I wish…), she saw four bottles of unopened Godiva on my bar and wanted to know if she could buy one. There are two projects that I hate. Cleaning my grill or cleaning my blinds. I have lived here for four years and the blinds I have yet to touch. So I told her if she did both things she could take a bottle. She said that she’d be happy to do the extra cleaning but wanted to pay for the bottle. I had to say, “Hon, I paid a dollar for that 750ML of Godiva. Do the math, it is I who is getting the deal!” So I came home to a spotless grill and clean blinds.

I checked my email today. I saw a subject that said “Bud Weiser or Gary Hunter” (my radio name on real radio…) The message said: “Who ever the hell you are today. I just came across your webpage. Give me a shout back if this is you.” It was signed Dave Reilly. I had to search my memory. So while I was trying to place him I went on to his site DaveReilly.com. As soon as I got there I saw a photo of Dave doing stand-up. I thought, “DAVE!” He owned a comedy club called Lewney Toonz in the early 90’s and I pitched him on radio advertising. Because of him I won a sales contest and Harvey Wallbanger (former WTIT DJ and still my best friend) who was my roommate and I got to go to the Bahamas for nada. Dave pushed me to work for him as a DJ to warm up the audience and play music after the comedians finished.

I thanked Dave for his interest, but stated I hadn’t done a gig in five years and it had been 15 years since I had DJ’d in a club. So I

passed. Dave is a guy who will not let you say no. He told me I was the target age of his audience and he didn’t want a young guy. Then he opened his wallet and told me what he’d pay me. Boom. It was 1993 and Gary Hunter was back in business.

It was the greatest club. After the comics we’d play songs and the whole staff of the club got into the act. My favorite was playing the song Paradise by the Dashboard Light. I’d lip sync Meat Loaf and not one but two very hot 20-something waitresses would do the female part. At times it looked like a threesome, but with our clothes on. The audience loved the bit. Before long Dave started screwing around with stand-up. He was great from day one. Dave Reilly is just a great guy. Always upbeat, always the life of the party. I am not at all surprised that is what he ended up doing. Check out his site. Tell him “The Hunter” sent you.

Thanks for coming by today.

We will return for a last post tomorrow

and then take a break

for the three-day weekend.

But we will return on the 7th

with recharged batteries.

The WTIT Blog will return for your Thursday.

Hope your Hump Day went well.

Join us tomorrow.

Same time. Same blog. Thanks, Dave!
