WDHA Remembers Our Friend Pat Dinizio of The Smithereens (Photo and Tunes)

Losing a friend is always hard.

It was 6 years ago today (12/12/2017) that we lost one of our dearest, Pat Dinizio from The Smithereens.

Pat was born in Plainfield New Jersey and never strayed too far from his New Jersey roots. He was a fixture at WDHA throughout the years. He would sometimes just show up in our parking lot with his guitar- it was awesome!

The Smithereens gave us some of the absolute coolest power, rock, pop tunes EVER- and Pat's sensibility for writing incredible lyrics and 3-minute masterpieces influenced generations of rockers. So underrated and often imitated and certainly one of the greatest New Jersey bands ever.

I loved having him on the show, hanging , talking about his love of Black Sabbath, The Beatles and Buddy Holly and of course with his wild personality (he even ran for office as part of the Libertarian Party years back) I spent a lot of time just laughing with him. We all did. Pat was one of a kind.

Pat and Jim Monaghan shared a special bond too, as not only did he stop by the WDHA Morning Jolt and Jim joined him in song, but Jim also jumped on stage with Pat and the band at times for a Jersey Jam session.

I'll never forget when he filmed portions of his movie "King Leisure" here at WDHA and it was hysterical. He took over the station. That was Pat, with a personality that was bigger than life and one of the most unique voices ever. No one could deliver a song like Pat.

As we remember him on this day, I grabbed a few of our personal photos and a few performances from the WDHA Studio from 2004.

We miss you friend, and your voice and legacy will always be carried on with WDHA The Rock Of New Jersey.

Rest Easy Pat.

5 Of WDHA’s Coolest Exclusive Unplugged Performances Of 2023 (VIDEO)

Hey Friends,
Happy (unplugged) Thanksgiving! At WDHA we have two Turkey Day Traditions.
It's Terrie Carr, and as far back as I can remember, WDHA has offered some sort of acoustic performances as part of Thanksgiving programming. AND we always give up a few servings of Alice's Restaurant. This year we are ready and it's going to be an epic day of programming! Let's reflect on 5 of WDHA's coolest, exclusive Unplugged Performances from this past year as the more amazing stripped down performances that we give our listeners exclusively, the more we have to choose from every Thanksgiving (and whenever we feel like a deconstructed versions of some of our favorite rockers).

I look back and think about some of my favorite WDHA in studio and on location performances and I remember the glorious times they came from. Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, Paul Rodgers and Bad Company, the incredible Warren Haynes, Kings X, Peter Frampton, Alter Bridge, Rival Sons....the list is massive!

I decided to post 5- 2023 WDHA Parking Lot Party Performances that were fine acoustic rocking - stripped down, deconstructed, bare bones performances. Love it.

Please join us Thursday, 11/23- Thanksgiving Day from 6a-6p for some cool versions of classic and new rockers and everything in between. We have you covered from artists the 1970's thru today. Exactly what the Rock Of New Jersey does best. We remember the history of the past without getting stuck there!
As always, we give thanks to you our WDHA listening family and while we may not sit at the same dinner table, we ALWAYS sit down at the same rock table and break our rock and roll bread together. Check out Jim Monaghan, me, (TC) and Mike Anthony on Thanksgiving serving up your favorite rock!

Happy Thanksgiving! All the best to you and yours!
