Rest Easy, Old Friend
I held quite a few different titles during my radio career. One of those was "Music Director." Part of my job was to listen to the new songs that we received every week and then discuss with the Program Director and consultant which ones we would add to the play list.

Friday Photo Flashback
Every once in a while I find a photo that makes me laugh more than it should. Here is an example. I am guessing that this was at a wedding or a holiday party I was DJing.
