As we close in on Halloween, it seems some creepy thingy has decided to sideline Johnnie with a bug. Since we don't want to share the wealth with our @wgnradio.bsky.social crew, you'll be hear a "best of" this Sat. night. We'll be back to share new words with you soon.

Just a quick reminder that, as we mentioned last week, due to NASCAR running around downtown Chicago and related street closures, @wgnradio.bsky.social will be re-running some of our previously used words tonight. We'll be packing a bunch of new words when we talk to you live next week.

The legendary Roy Orbison was born on April 23, in 1936. "The Big O" may no longer be with us, but the music and the memories he left will last forever. We'll never forget the very special night In the mid-80s we were privileged to MC his show in Wheeling, Illinois.

Saturday night/Sunday morning was a bit dicey, but we survived without any damage. A little Sunday porchin' with 73 degrees and a nice light breeze is a perfect palate cleanser.
