    Mention the call letters “WHFS” to music lovers of a certain age, and don’t be surprised if a smile instantly appears on their face, or a twinkle seems to light up their eye.

    Memories of a magic place right out of the ’60s counterculture playbook — of airwaves where you never knew what song you’d hear next, only that it would be a good one; of a land populated with people named Cerphe, Damian and Weasel; of a community where informality and congeniality were the watchwords, and corporate-speak was avoided at all costs — will do that to a person.

    “Free-form progressive radio, it’s an era that’s gone,” says Jay Schlossberg, a one-time employee of the tiny Bethesda-based radio station with the outsized reach. Schlossberg hopes to recapture at least some of that magic with “Feast Your Ears: The Story of WHFS 102.3 FM,” a documentary that should be ready for release this year.

    Stationed in DC in 1973, this was my 'go to' station until entropy won:

    When we moved to Huntsville, we had "WTAK" for a few years until the Christians killed it.
