NEW! BIG 8 CKLW ON THE RADIO: JOHNNY WILLIAMS

Albert Andrus: Jim, still can’t read the comments.

In reply to Albert Andrus —

 

Jim Feliciano: Albert, this is through no fault of our own. The site, through WordPress, automatically updated the site to WordPress 5.5 and guess what? While the comments are there and archived, can’t see any of them for the time being. Another glitch on their part, not ours. So, we have to wait for the next WordPress upgrade (5.6), as I was told, and that may solve the problem. Hopefully so! 🙁

In reply to Vasilios J. Mousadakos —

 

Jim Feliciano: Vasilios, my apologies, unfortunately, as of now it looks as though the site may have to go to a restore point to get the site’s Aircheck Library up as it was, prior this afternoon. The Level 2 techs from WordPress will work on restoring the site (as of Sept 6) in the next 24 to 48 hours (if required).

2020/09/06 at 9:10 pm

 

Jim Feliciano: Vasilios, all was fixed – we are back up! 🙂

WOODSTOCK: NY HEADLINER; CBS NEWS. AUGUST, ’69

Lynn O’Brien Bigica: Thank you for this . . .  my Dad was Richard O’Brien. It was so great to hear his voice again as he reported on the scene at Woodstock all those years ago. Would be nice to see the video, too. I remember I was in my senior year of high school and wanted to go to Woodstock with my friends. My Dad and his camera man had been dropped by helicopter into the middle of it all. He witnessed kids half naked, rolling in the mud caused by the rain…needless to say, his answer was “Absolutely not!” As I think back, I believe they had closed the NY Thruway by then, anyway! Whoever thought it would become a grand, historical moment in pop culture! He would be surprised and delighted to know people can still listen to his live reporting 51 years later.

— ABOUT YOUR COMMENTS —

 

_______________

 

With all due apology, as of this writing, it appears there will be no resolution at all to repair the WordPress 5.0 upgrade after having removed all of your comments — through a technical glitch after the new upgrade —  off the pages of this website.

They are still added automatically to our comments section on the site — once approved they are all archived — just no longer visible as before, through no fault of our own, unfortunately.

For my previous comments having posted regarding the above GO HERE.

We appreciate and welcome your comments. Keep them coming. If all else, They will be read. For the moment, I will feature them in a separate post, every month.

Your comments for September 2020 are featured today on Motor City Radio Flashbacks.

 

Thanks again . . . always enjoy hearing from every one of you! 🙂
