2/6: Brother Esmond Patterson tribute, Fish vows, Zone promo
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Brother Esmond Patterson was a mainstay in the Atlanta gospel community for more than a half century (mostly at WAOK-AM) until his death in 2003. His daughter Edna wants to keep her dad’s memory alive by holding a benefit concert in his memory. Mark your calendar for March 9, 2008 at 4 p.m. It will be at Christ Tabernacle United Church of God in Christ at 2649 McAfee Road, Decatur featuring the Christianaires, the Gospel Four, the Gospel Gents and Russell Wright, to name a few. Tix are $20 and $25 day of show. Call 770-598-6741 for more info.
And here’s a warm and fuzzy promotion that would never fly at Rock 100.5: Fish 104.7 on Saturday is renewing the vows of 75 couples at the Duluth Festival Center with Fish artists Bethany Dillon and Nicol Sponberg helping out.
Steak Shapiro called me to note that tomorrow morning, “Mayhem in the AM” is doing its show in John Smoltz’s backyard. Will Steak and the gang be playing badminton or will Nick help tend to his roses? Actually, they’ll play some pickup basketball.

We are very excited about Tubesteak Shapiro’s latest promotion. I think that will make 790 tops in Atlanta. This promotion is just the icing on the cake when you include the “Daily Grind” with Sandra Golden. HAHHAHAHAHAHA. Wonder if Mayhem has any listeners left with Bell’s departure and Regular Guys reemergence.

I used to listen to Mayhem, well, I listened when Rotten Meat would take the day off. I am loving having the Regular Guys back, though!! All they do on Mayhem is give their own opinions about food, movies, food, celebrities, food, sports, and food. For 5 long hours. Here’s hoping 790 goes away soon.

790 the Zone needs to cut the morning show by an hour, and give that hour of air time to Brandon and Wolvey. Those guys talk sports. The Mayhem show only talks about food, restaurants, the baby Sophie, Shapiro’s family, and how the show cast members spend their time off the air. Not much sports talk. And they claim that “they know what guys want.” Sheesh!
