Tony Chachere's is not only the official seasoning of Louisiana, it's also a great de-icer!   The other day, I had to go into one of the major office buildings downtown and there, on the sidewalk were great chunks of rock salt. Of course it did the trick, but one of our folks at K945, by the name of Justin Massoud, put up a story about a great way to de-ice sidewalks and we loved it so much we jus

When I was a kid, I played the trumpet. On a cold day, the mouthpiece would just be freezing and it was hard to play anything. I wasn't very good to begin with, but the cold made it worse. Well, here's a band called Ice Music and they have no such problem. All their instruments are made of ice.

Do you remember playing the game where everyone stands in a circle and one person whispers something to the person beside them and then each person tells the next what they heard?

Don Rivers I decided to stay in Lake Charles last night just in case I needed to get to work early this morning. That decision paid off as my phone rang before five am because our morning man on sister station Gator 99.5 could not cross the I-10 bridge to get to work.

Most people think snow in Southwest Louisiana is a reason to go outside and enjoy this very rare occurrence. It is fun until you have to drive over roads that are covered in ice. That may be what we encounter tomorrow morning so the National Weather Service has issued a warning.
