Where’s Dee Snider?

Haven’t you heard?  Dee is waiting in line for tickets to see the movie Rock of Ages.

Seriously, though, you might remember a while back when I mentioned that Dee Snider’s House of Hair could be heard Saturday nights on WRCN.  Well, I tuned in one Saturday night, and Dee wasn’t on.  Even the WRCN web site has no remnants of Dee Snider on it.  The station list at the official HOH web site is not updated very often, which is why RCN is still listed as an affiliate.

If you must have your weekly dose of hair metal hosted by Mr. Snider, try tuning in to 95.1 WRKI-FM (Brookfield, CT) on Saturday nights.

Please allow me to re-introduce myself…

For those of you just discovering my blog, hi there!  I re-launched it in December 2011, so you may or may not have missed my original welcome message.  Since then, I have expanded the About Me section, which now includes information about my radio show in college, my Commodore 64 magazine article, and my history with a nationally syndicated radio show.  The Long Island Radio Dial is pretty self-explanatory, and one of the catalysts that re-launched this blog.

If you’ve already followed me or subscribed, great!  If not, what are you waiting for?

Welcome!

Welcome to Dr. Chuck’s Notepad.  Sorry there isn’t much to see right now, but I’m working on putting up some content that you might find interesting (well, at least I find it interesting).  For now, you can read an article I wrote called GEOS Text Scrap Maker, which is a utility I wrote for the Commodore 64 some years ago.  I’m also working on an updated Long Island Radio Dial.  Some of you may remember when I used to have a list of Long Island radio stations back in the mid-1990s.  I had retired it some time ago, and thought that it was time to come out of retirement.

I know what you’re thinking.  ”Dude, radio?  It’s 2011, who’s still listening to the radio?”  Believe it or not, people still listen to the radio, but not in the way they used to in the past.  It’s in your car, and on your phone, and on your computer.  TuneIn is one of my favorite iPod/iPhone apps.  It lets me listen to thousands of radio stations that stream online, all over the world, and not all of them are a personality-less jukebox.  And, yes, I do use it to listen to some Long Island radio.

There’s more to come.  Don’t forget to subscribe using the RSS feed or the email box, and when something new happens here, you’ll know.
