Ice fishing is finally here!

Finally have enough ice to be able to go ice fishing. It's what makes living in northern Michigan worthwhile in the winter. Since I don't ski anymore and don't have a snowmobile, it's something that I can do and enjoy. Got a fish flasher this year and can't believe that I fished all those years without electronics!

Been getting a lot of great requests from our listeners and I'm loving it. It's great to talk to each and everyone of you and know that you care about our station and what we play. Keep it up.

 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Well, it doesn't look like Christmas but the calendar and the music say it is. Still looking for some snow that will stay and some ice on the lake so I can try out my new ice fishing toy. That's what I get for buying it early. At least I can sit in the garage and look at it! Hope everyone enjoys the three day weekend, two weekends in a row. We'll be back with Northern Focus on January 8th and the Sports Dish on the 9th. Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year. 

Larry McCray Interview

Hey, what a great week last week with Blues Legend Larry McCray stopping by the studio to chat. Always great to talk about the blues and especially with a great musician like him. And yes he is as nice as he sound on the radio. Check out our interview at the podcasts here on the website. He's a great talent and will be playing in Alpena on Dec 23rd. A live performance by Larry is always a treat and you will not be disappointed.

 

Hoping for some ice sometime before March so I can try out my new ice fishing toy.

Happy November

It's already November. Where has the year gone? A year ago at this time it was 10 degrees and we had a 2 feet of snow on the ground. Of course that didn't last and we had one of the shortest skiing and snowmobiling seasons in memory. Maybe back to a normal winter this year.

Opening day is coming up next Sunday the 15th. Good luck to everyone and be safe in the woods. Know where you are shooting and at what you are shooting. The life you save may be mine!!

Check out the double shot of the blues we have every day at 12:30pm. If you have any suggestion, please feel free to call me at 989-348-7100. Always happy to hear from you the customer. If it weren't for you, our listeners, we would be on the air.

The Sports Dish is off for a couple of weeks, while Rich Calkins and I get a preseason Basketball show or two put together and then before you know it, it's Basketball season until the middle of March!

 

Football Playoffs

Well, the High School Football Playoff are this weekend and several Northern Michigan School are headed that way. Grayling is going to Menominee Friday night, Harrison is headed to Kingsford Saturday and T.C. St Francis gets to play Muskegon. Gaylord is also going to be traveling to Mt Pleasant. Tune in to Rich Calkins and me Saturday morning on Y101.1 at 9am for the Northern Michigan High School Sports Dish. We'll have interviews with coaches and a wrap up of some of the seasons.

Don't forget that you can always call and make requests during my show Monday-Friday at the request line.

Beatles Video

Hey, I've discovered some great videos over the last few days. One of them is of the Beatles on Swedish TV, early in their career. It's posted on our Facebook page, so check it out. 12 minutes of pure joy! Going to be out and about Saturday the 17th at the Woodland Motor Lodge on Old 27 north of Grayling with the Easy Rider Bike. It will be there from 11-4. It' a money raiser for the Disabled American Vets. See ya there!

 

Hello World!

Hey, welcome to the world of Big Dog Dave. I usually don't have much to say and I'm sure you probably don't have much time to read.

 

Been listening to a new Larry McCray CD called "The Gibson Sessions" as he does covers of Can't You See with Dicky Betts, Needle and Spoon with Derek Trucks, Wild Horses with Jimmy Herring and I'm No Angel with David Hidalgo. It's a great CD and you can get a copy by going to Larry's website, or be a big time Disc Jockey like me a get a free copy. Check it out.

 

Rich Calkins and I are doing the Northern Michigan High School Sports Dish every Saturday morning from 9-10 on Y101.1. Check it out as we interview Coaches and we have stats from the games around the area.
