WOAS news and history
Anyone remember the the game “Six degrees of Kevin Bacon?” It essentially follows that any actor one can think of can be connected to actor/musician Kevin Bacon in six or less steps (or degrees, if you will). It is an adaptation of the old parlour game that says that any two people on Earth are […]
Oh my – how did I miss this in 2013? If you did too, let me explain – Def Leppard concocted a fictious Def Leppard band Ded Flatbird and opened for themselves during a nine night run in Las Vegas – what a concept – certainly looks like they had fun. Apparently some in the […]
I started on the topic of keyboard players a while back and began making a mental note of the ones who stood out in my mind. Never try and make a mental list that encompasses nearly 50 years of concert and album memories. I am probably going to have to get one of those ‘on-board […]
4/7 of our day shift (bottom photo: l – r: Kaitlyn Ray, Zacc Ray, Anna Fuller, and Riley Gilmore) want to say ‘have a safe and happy holiday season’. They also want to remind you that WOAS will be off air from Dec 19 to Jan 3 with normal broadcasting to resume on Monday January […]

The All School Reunion held this past summer was a great event. There is never a better time for alums from all across the map to return home and show their families their roots. Former WOAS-FM DJ Tom Dean did just that when he dropped by with his lovely wife Melissa. Not only was he […]
Ah, Faber College is alive and well. Having taken the unofficial tour of a few of the sites used in filming the classic movie Animal House (but alas, we didn’t make it to the AH themed bar), it only seemed a matter of time before someone redid this scene from the movie. If you think you […]
Here are some photos taken from the Singing Hills stage (located up hill and to the west of the main stage in front of the chalet – the Peace Hill stage) taken on Friday August 28 and Saturday August 29, 2015.
The West Coast Bureau of WOAS-FM has relocated to Eugene, OR so it an inspection visit from the manager was on the agenda for mid-August. Many thanks to Elizabeth, Todd, Don Juan and Emma for their hospitality. Many hours of music ensued and we sharpened our Wii skills a bit. What? It WAS afterall, an […]
