It's hard to believe that I've been on the air here in Sedalia for the past 27 years, and come Friday morning, I'll be without a radio show for the first time in a long time.  Notice I didn't say out of work, just no show.  I'll talk about my future at another time.  But today, I'd like to talk about music in general and live music in particular.

This will be a big weekend for yours truly regarding the blues show.  This morning, I will get a chance to interview Willie J. Campbell, one of the members of Mannish Boys.  If you have listened to my blues show you have heard us play music from their album 'Double Dynamite.'  This p...

Here is another radio story for you.  When I was at my first radio station, a friend and I rented a house together.  In said house, we had a real nice fancy fish tank, but we had no fish. We weren't responsible enough for that, but we did have the tank and we kept it full of pretty blue water. I guess I should mention that this house was a dump!  The floors slanted and the tank water levels slante

My first program director was a bonehead, and how he ever got into radio as a PD is beyond me.  New music in those days would come in weekly on a large reel, as in reel-to-reel, and you would get 15 to 20 songs per week. The PD would listen to them, decide what to play and tell us to record them off on carts.  Carts were kind of like 8-tracks, for those of you who remember those. However, they wer

Every now and then I catch myself talking to the girls in the sales office about old time radio, and you can see the blank look in their faces when I speak of things like splicing blocks or back timing, cart machines, que burn on records.  Oh, man I miss those days.  Julie said I should write blog posts about those days because they find them interesting, so if we get response out of this I will.

Ask any old guy what an "event" is and he or she will tell you that's the day you had a heart attack.  Well, Wednesday marks my eight-year anniversary of my event.

We are starting a new thing on our website and I think it should be fun.  But I want to set up a few ground rules.  The idea is you pick out one of our DJs and you can ask them anything you want.  Well, sort of.

Much like Maury Povic does I thought we'd do a look back at what some of my favorite blogs of the past year were so enjoy them if you missed them the first time.  If you would like more, just click here for a full list of last year's blogs.  Until next time, America!

I can sum up in one word what Christmas means to me: FAMILY!  It used to be going to my folks' house with the rest of the family, opening presents, big meal, big time etc.  But as I get older, I am far more interested in spending time with MY kids. My ol...

This blog is not for the children, nor is it a bah humbug blog. I in fact, love Christmas. I'm grateful for the reason for the season, the spirit it brings out in most, the giving and not wanting anything in return, the sound of the Salvation Army Bells, all of it. Except Santa.  That guy gets on my nerves.
