Tim unearths forgotten hits, Fridays at 1 p.m. on Not Fade Away

Not Fade Away, Fridays at 1 p.m., keeps great music alive via some songs you’ve loved and forgotten and some you just don’t know you love yet. Rock/pop songs from little-known artists, little-known songs from well-known artists, and forgotten hits, mostly 70s and 80s but also a little bit of 60s and post-80s. There are so many great songs that were not in the “Top 40” and are being left behind by today’s radio programmers. Not Fade Away preserves these songs that we love and will attempt to recapture that feeling everyone remembers from listening to their favorite artists. Not Fade Away will play what’s been lost: artists that many people don’t know but some will fondly remember, long-lost minor hits and great songs that for whatever reason were never hits. These are songs that were once in the mainstream, or close to it, but have been tossed aside. It is so rare that you listen to the radio now and hear a song that makes you say, “Oh, I love this song, and I haven’t heard it in forever!” Not Fade Away will provide that opportunity. I want to keep this great music alive.

Tim Hogenboom, the host of Not Fade Away, was born in 1969 and has always loved radio. Living in Detroit in the 1970s, he wanted to be the radio broadcaster for the Detroit Tigers. Living in Western New York in the 1980s, he wanted to be a music-playing DJ. He ended up becoming a math teacher, but never lost that love for radio. Tim and his wife and son moved to Savannah in 2006 where they have thoroughly enjoyed no longer shoveling snow.
