101 hopes you are having a great 2k10...and wants to hear from you!
Some have inquired, so...here's 'da scoop~ Around age 10 (1968) I knew I wanted to be a broadcaster, my early radio heroes were John Ward and Milo and Ernie (Atlanta Braves). Like many of you I fell in love with my transistor radio and soon began writing down DJ line ups, airchecking DJs, and clipping newspaper articles.
I was once told, "find a need and fill it"...so with the invent of modern technology, its a pleasure to share all my "stuff" which originated from my broadcast center on Rockingham Drive in West Hills (my bedroom).
Earl Lauderdale at WBLC Lenoir City broke me in, Bobby Denton at WIVK took a chance on an 18 year old freshman at UT and hired me to work weekends, Steve Bridgewater believed in me and allowed me to have a great final year on the radio at WRJZ when they played country, and Your Dave Young was the one who truly understood my potential...which ended up not being on the radio, but that belief stood the decades and is still greatly appreciated.
I know you have a story too...so send it to 101...we love to copy and paste!!!
Here's one of the classics that I captured...let's go back to '79 and enjoy WBIR-FM changing from country to rock~
