Go to the newsstand and pick up a copy of The Loris Scene. Before I headed off to the frozen tundra of Toledo and Detroit, I was interviewed for a follow-up story. During the interview, my 3 year old son, Tristan interrupted me to assist him with potty training. In fact, he came running up to me with his pants already off. It was one of those moments that only a parent could enjoy. Perhaps, enjoyment is not the right word, but it was funny.
So, the interview came to an end (no pun intended...) and I couldn't recall what I even said. So, your guess is as good as mine. Go ahead and pick up a copy and see for yourself.
A friend of mine asked me earlier today if I'd seen the paper today. I had to say "No. Not yet." I couldn't get my hands on The Loris Scene in Detroit, but since I'm back home....How about two or three copies? After all, I have to send one to my mother-in-law.
Stay Tuned!

Good Morning Bob!
For those of you wondering about the "new" voice on WLSC, wonder no more. It was my buddy, Bob Scarborough. Bob was kind enough to fill-in for me while I was visiting family and freezing in Ohio. Boy, it sure was cold!
I got up one morning and it was 1 degree with a wind chill of -10. Ouch!
For the record, I was visiting my wife's family. As a matter of fact, we attended a surprise birthday party for my mother-in-law. ( I can never, ever, ever, never tell you how old she was or is....forget it) So, now it's back to the grind.
I'll continue working behind the scenes until Monday, January 28th. Although, I have been heard from time to time on WLSC, The Banana Jack Murphy Show doesn't officially return until next week.
Good Morning Bob will return from time to time whenever I have to hit the road.
Thanks Bob

WLSC & Banana Jack Featured on Ted Lehmann's Bluegrass Blog
Boy, news sure travels fast in the bluegrass community. I'm already getting emails regarding an interview that took place just yesterday morning.
Ted Lehmann just happened to be vacationing in the Myrtle Beach area and heard through the grapevine that WLSC radio was airing and promoting bluegrass music in the area, so he gave me call.
I had met Ted and his wife, Irene last year at Bluegrass on the Waccamaw. He was even a guest on my television show, River Talk with Jack Murphy. So, when he wanted to give me some free publicity, I jumped at the opportunity.
I knew a lot of folks checked out his blog, but boy was I surprised by the attention that I'm already getting and it's been up on the web less than a day. WOW!
Ted and his wife took some incredible photographs while visiting our new radio station in Loris. I really love the marquee. It's an eye-catcher for sure.
Swing on by and see the story for yourself. Visit www.tedlehmann.blogspot.com and be sure to let him know that Jack sent ya!
Thanks Ted & Irene

A New Landmark in Loris
Banana Jack’s sign - a new landmark in Loris!
… as WLSC Radio in Loris to erect Theatre-Style Marquee Sign
PHOTO OPP: Friday, January 11, 2008 – 8:30-9:45 AM installation happens with a crane and a bucket truck.
Location: 4164 Main Street, Loris, corner of Main Street & Broad Street (SC 9 & US 701).
EVENT: The look of downtown Loris will be changing thanks to the efforts of Banana Jack Murphy, the new owner of AM 1240 WLSC. On Friday morning (January 11, 2008), the unveiling of a new theatre-style marquee will take place at the new WLSC studios located at 4164 Main Street in Loris. Murphy says, "We're located at the busiest intersection in town, so why not take advantage of the location." The station is located at the corner of Main Street and Broad Street (SC 9 & US 701).
DETAILS: The sign will feature the station's call letters and frequency in 18" neon channel letters at the top and a white message board in the center. Murphy says, "There will be no doubt in anyone's mind after this sign is erected that there's a new radio station on the corner." In addition to promoting station activities on the marquee, WLSC will also promote community events such as The Loris Bog-Off. Murphy adds, "The inspiration to include a theatre style marquee came from a recent family visit to Mt. Airy, NC." Banana Jack, a big fan of The Andy Griffith Show, saw where he could bring a little bit of Mayberry back to Horry County. "I took one look at that cinema marquee sign in downtown Mt. Airy and I envisioned what a similar sign would look like in downtown Loris. I just couldn't stop thinking about it. Loris reminds me of Mayberry anyway, with a small town charm, so we just had to do it." Murphy adds, "I can't wait to see what it looks like at night. We're going to prove to everyone in the world that Loris does not roll up the sidewalks at night." The retro sign was created by Neon Works in Myrtle Beach, that company's team will start erecting the sign around 8:30 AM. The new sign even inspired the design of WLSC’s new web site, www.wlscradio.com . “We looked at a lot of radio stations’ sites and they all seemed so busy. Once the marquee became a reality for WLSC, Jack and I both knew what the site had to look like,” explains Barb Krumm. The station can be heard worldwide as it streams from the new website being launched simultaneously.
PURCHASE: Banana Jack Murphy, who has been on the air in this area since 1989, formed a new company in July of 2007 with his wife Barb Krumm. Banana Jack Murphy Productions LLC, signed a letter of intent to purchase WLSC on October 3, 2007. The FCC approved the sale of the station in mid November 2007 and Banana Jack Murphy Production LLC took over the day-to-day operations of WLSC on November 30, 2007.
ON AIR: WLSC started broadcasting from the new studios on December 27, 2007. The first announcer on the air was Murphy and Krumm's three year old son, Tristan, who simply uttered, "WLSC radio!"
PROGRAMMING: WLSC is the epitome of hometown radio. Country music can be heard during the day and Southern Gospel is broadcast from 6:00 until 9:00 during the evenings. WLSC recently started broadcasting 5 hours of bluegrass on Saturday afternoons and plans are underway to expand on that. A new show, Bluegrass on the Corner is in the works. This program will feature live bluegrass music played by local and regional acts. This show will be broadcast on AM 1240 WLSC and on the station's website, www.wlscradio.com.
