Howdy Folks! Please join me tonight....Tuesday evening, May 22, 9P-12M ET, for a 3 hour tribute to the great, and very sadly, late, Massachusetts' own Donna Summer! Donna had such an amazing voice and talent and such a remarkable career.
That's tonight....on "Nightflight"...on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown and WFMR 91.2 FM Orleans and streaming live worldwide in digital stereo at www.womr.org [[http://www.womr.org/)

Rest in peace, dear Donna....

Thank you Midnight Johnny. I will certainly be tuning in for your lovely tribute to our Donna. Looking forward to tonight's show. If you're taking requests, please play "Any Way At All".

[Glenpwood]

Hi John,

Hope you had a great week despite the tragic musical losses that have transpired since we left the Copa. I've thought a couple of times about Andy's story on last weeks show of holding the master tape to Donna's Last Dance and being afraid of dropping it! Look forward to your tribute tonight. There are some great suggestions over in Jim Bagley's thread of everyones favorite Donna songs in case you haven't seen it. See you tonight!

[carlo]

I would also like to mention that tomorrow is "Last Dance Wednesday". We want to make "Last Dance" # 1 tomorrow for Donna! For more info...

Hi Johnny. Yes sadly we will celebrate Donna and her music. Looking forward to the show If you are taking requests, anything from Crayons is good with me...have a great show!!

[sophisticated_soul]

Hey John, and gang, look forward to celebrating the life and music of the One of a Kind Donna Summer. I have so many happy memories of dancing to her music.

'. . .if you take request, I got a few for you. Play that song called “Could It Be Magic”, play that one called “Say Something Nice”, don’t forget “Love’s Unkind” now, no other songs will do. So Mister, Mister Perrone keep those records playing ‘cause we’re having such a good time dancing to our Donna. . .'

Rest in peace, Donna. And Thank You.

Joseph.....Greetings! Now...the show is sort of planned out...but I think I have at least one of your requests. So much material from such a good career!

[midnight johnny]

Folks...after seeing your posts...I thought I would alter my plans and get those requests in for you....however, that will mean playing some of the shorter versions rather than the 20 minute versions of some of Donna's catalogue...you see...that's what you all mean to me!;)

Either way sounds great John. It's your Listener's Choice show. Do your thing!:cool:

[midnight johnny]

no...no...Joseph...you said no other songs would do....I'll do my listener's choice next week!;)

I was just paraphrasing Sam Cooke's great tune "Havin' A Party"!:cool:

Thanks for paying tribute to Donna Summer, John. I will join in after I get home from my nephew's playoff game.

Jim

[johnjeb]

sophisticated_soul's choices of "Could It Be Magic" and "Say Something Nice" top my list. I also love "I Feel Love" and "Don't Cry For Me Argentina".

Yes, so many songs to enjoy from a wonderful career. So glad I got to see her perform back in the 80s.

[Glenpwood]

I've dimmed all the lights since the show is on its way...

I will always treasure the night I got to meet Donna Summer at the Roosevelt Hotel. It was in the evening after she received her star on Hollywood Blvd. So many happy memories. RIP Donna Summer.....

I have so many happy memories of good times dancing to Donna Summer's music. I had as much fun dancing to Donna between 1975 and 1980, as I did first dancing to Motown music between 1965 and 1970! I was a dancing fool!:cool:
