Songs that made the phones ring — an idea inspired by the late record man Joel Dorn — is our quarterly Ancient Future radio listing of selections that made the telephones ring at WPFW. At WPFW we have an open policy towards soliciting listener feedback; during our various programs listeners are free to call and inquire about the music or issues of the day. What better way to gauge listener interests? This unscientific barometer is a true measuring stick of listener tastes and what excites our listeners. (Listed in no particular order.)
