Today's photo was taken during one of my brother's visits home. I chose it because it is one of my favorite photos of my dad, my brother and me. It's hard to believe, but I think this photo is about 20+ years old. I'm guessing it was taken around 2006ish. I remember my brother, his … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback

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. One day a week, … Continue reading Rest Easy, Old Friend
Friday Photo Flashback
One of the greatest things about working in radio was being in a position to help people. This is where local radio wins! Real people helping real people. My Friday Photo Flashback this week takes me back to the very first B-95 Country Cares For St. Jude Kids Radiothon. When Brian Cleary took over as … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
National Ice Cream Day
Today is National Ice Cream Day! I have two memories tied to National Ice Cream Day and both involve my radio days. Both were when I worked at B95 in Flint. The first was when I was working mid-days. I wanted to do a live broadcast from a local ice cream place. I put the … Continue reading National Ice Cream Day
Friday Photo Flashback
Time for another Friday Photo Flashback. I was going to say that I am not digging too deep for this week's picture, but when I realized that it is probably at least 10-15 years old. Is that considered old? You decide. This is one of my favorite photos of me with my dad and brother. … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback

We had a huge promotion … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Friday Photo Flashback
This is a "feature" I started a couple weeks ago with a Daily Writing Prompt. It's been fun to find a photo to write about each week. I stumbled on a picture this week I didn't know I had. It was one that I hadn't scanned yet and it features one of the bravest and … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Friday Fodder
Hello readers. I hope this finds you safe and healthy. This is, yet again, another blog that is full of random thoughts in no particular order. Baseball My home team, The Detroit Tigers, have not been much to watch in the past. I guess I was spoiled in that I got to watch the magical … Continue reading Friday Fodder
Tune Tuesday – What This Country Needs
It has been some time since I posted a song for Tune Tuesday. Part of the reason for this is that I have been spending most of my drive to and from work listening to Old Radio Shows. This week, I plugged the old iPod in and hit shuffle. I used to keep my "To … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – What This Country Needs
Voices of the Past
This weekend, I DJ'd homecoming dance. For high schools, all my new music is on a hard drive and I play it from the computer. When I do weddings or parties, I still bring some CDs. Recently, I have been going through boxes of CDs in hopes of putting what I don't have on my … Continue reading Voices of the Past
