Welcome to THE FUNHOUSE and tonight's contribution to the WFMU Marathon Fundraiser. Please give to support great music. It's that simple. WFMU.ORG. Additionally, tonight's show is dedicated to Becky E and her bitchen' BUBBLEGUM OD show which was, for the most part, preempted tonight due to technical difficulties. All the djs at FMU, the streams etc., donate their time and put a lot of effort into bringing you great music. So please make a donation if you can to WFMU.ORG. You can do it for the entire station or by show including the Swinging' Sunday lineup of BUBBLEGUM OD, THE WHIG OUT with the great Richard Whig or RAMA LAMA DING DONG starring the medson man. Thank you for listening and I hope you dig tonight's offerings in THE FUNHOUSE. ROCK ON!

I’ve been on the air during marathon on a show years ago, like 1982. Paul Cavanaugh’s show, Thursday night after Pat Ducan’s show. Went there after drinking in the bars of South Orange, picked up some beer, banged on the door of Froburg Hall East Orange; they let me in!!!
