Who are "The Wise Guys"

A "panel of experts" would best describe our show.  Not so much us, but
the guests we invite to be on the show.  The hosts are actually several
people, although you most often hear from the three of us: web guy Danny Bishop,
FM radio disk jockey and home entertainment guru Corey Allen and Mac network
administrator Dan Adams (in order of studio seating).  Other wise guys you
hear on the show from time to time are WHO Historian, Attorney and Sunday news
anchor George Davison and staff IT manager Jeff Hansen.

Call us at 284-1040 or 800-469-4295. Or email us!

Geocaching to the Buddy Holly Shrine

Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valenz and "The Big Bopper" performed their last show at
the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake on February 2, 1959. Following the show, the
three rock & rollers boarded a four-seat airplane in a light snow at the Mason
City airport -- the plane being piloted by 22-year-old Roger Peterson. Five
minutes into their fateful flight, the plane was observed (from the airport)
drifting downward when the tail light went dark. In the early morning light, a
search revealed that indeed the plane had crashed and all aboard killed. I've
placed a virtual cache in memory of the four young men -- and to all who follow
to pay their respects and remember them fondly through the monuments built.
