Forgotten 45 fun with the Partridge Family and WINY Radio!

One of the nicest things about Northeast CT is WINY Radio.

It is upbeat, positive, informative and all local fun! What a great addition to anyone's life!

A cool feature of the morning show, which runs from an eye opening 6am - 9am, is the "Forgotten 45". At about 8:20 each morning, we flashback to a fun forgotten 45, along with other news of interest from that day. Listeners are encouraged to request, and since I'm an enjoyer of music and fun, I request often.

Recently I emailed in this request:
Hi Gary O,
I don't know if you can use the Partridge Family's "I think I love you" as a forgotten 45, since they were from a fake family on a tv show...BUT, I sure did think I loved David Cassidy!
My best friend, Valorie and I used my family's bunk beds as the Partridge Bus, and had to take turns being Laurie Partridge. I used a hairbrush as my microphone! Good times!!!
Here is one of the BEST SCENES in tv history (a scene from the Partridge Family)!!

"Gary O", co-owner of WINY Radio with his wife, Karen, (who seem to  have a combined work day of about 40 hours and then volunteer for the other spare few hours), answered with this great reply: 

Hi Marcy,

Great suggestion!  I will feature your song on Thursday morning.  We bought all the Partridge Family albums when they came out and memorized every word.  We also joined their fan club.  My friend, Billy Thornton, wrote a letter inviting the Partridge Family to his house for a pool party.  One Saturday, after watching cartoons all morning, we tried to get Billy to come out and play, but he insisted on raking his yard to make the place look nice because he was convinced that the Partridge Family were coming to his house.  We actually pitched in and helped him.

Have a great day!

How can you not enjoy such a fun and friendly local radio station, and all of WINY's employees are equally as fun! Just this week, another of my requests for "More Manilow" was granted by the afternoon team!

So, now I am preparing a little "thank you" from me to all the fun folks at WINY Radio. Low fat Pumpkin Partridge Muffins and low fat Berry Manilow Muffins are baking as I type! It will be a breakfast battle of champs!

And if you want to hear my Forgotten 45 Partridge request tomorrow morning, tune in to 1350am or listen online at WINY Radio!

I am a Putnamaniac that loves Forgotten 45s and WINY Radio!
