The only exception was 35-64, but even there the two tied for third. It was a feat that WLHK PD Bob Richards and his team had been working towards since Richards took control of Hank FM in late 2009 after a 15-year run at WFMS – the last 11 of those as PD. Indicative of one of the format’s fiercest Bob Richards fights, WFMS reversed some of those gains the very next month by regaining its lead with persons 6+, Party Crashers: Capitol’s Luke Bryan (sporting a Georgia 25-54 and 35-64. “I’m proud of the WFMS team, who always Bulldogs t-shirt) invites a few friends to a listening party remain focused on our plan,” PD Mark Hamlin said at the for his brand new album Crash My Party.

My entire career, up to this point, has been dedicated to serving and developing my passion for arts education. As early as High School, I was drawn to both leadership and the arts. Young as I was at the time, I knew that I wanted to share the magic and the power of theater with as many people as possible – and I watched it change the lives of the inner city kids whom I have directed in some of my first theater productions. I went on to try my hand at writing for film and theater, producing talent, teaching theater at conservatories across the country, and offering my services as a judge and a motivational speaker at various international arts events, while leading the education department of Tony Randall's National Actors Theater for over twenty classical productions over eight years. All with the purpose of sharing my passion for theater and for the arts.

Rows of men and dogs marching abreast, in wide lines across the rolling hills, forcing the hares into the trap, a right-angled fence lined with chicken wire. Hares, being surface dwelling and nesting above ground, were unable to hide below in burrows like the smaller rabbits they flushed out. Dozens upon dozens of the big orange coloured hares, hundreds in the olden days he was told, being driven forward, frightened, to be trapped between the men and the wire. Then the frenzy began. Men armed with rifles, shotguns, golf clubs, cricket bats and whiskey began going berserk alongside their terriers and children. It wasn’t uncommon for a man or dog or boy to pick up a pellet wound here or there, so watch out they’d said. Seven years old and without a rifle of his own the boy spotted a big male hare hiding in a clump of scrub away from the main melee. Without a second thought he leapt shirtless upon the motionless creature and managed to somehow grab hold of one of its strong back legs. The hare kicked and bucked with the sharp claws of the free leg, slicing into his forearms and face so fiercely he risked losing an eye and just when his hands were slipping he switched grip, wrestling into a choke hold with both hands about the animal’s neck.
