Friday Photo Flashback

Its time for another edition of my Friday Photo Flashback. I stumbled upon a photo that brought back many memories making me happy and sad at the same time. Take a peak: If I was going to put a date on this, it is probably around 1996 or 1997. It looks like it was taken … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Looking Ahead …

A radio friend discovered my blog on accident. He was doing a search on Honey Radio and my blog came up. He messaged me and asked "Is this yours?" After messaging back and forth, I told him to let me know if there was any specific topics he'd like to see on the blog. It's … Continue reading Looking Ahead … →

Words of Praise From Tricky Dickie

One of the things I love about the Facebook Memory Feed is every now and then something pops up I forgot about. Today is one of those instances. I am sure that I have the letter referenced in this writing somewhere in a box at home. I don't know where it is off the top … Continue reading Words of Praise From Tricky Dickie →

Your Birthday #1

I have always enjoyed looking back at things from the past. When I worked at Honey Radio, I produced the Top 12 and 12 every weekday. We'd always have plenty of information about dates in history. No matter what year we were focusing on, we'd talk about how much a new vehicle cost or the … Continue reading Your Birthday #1 →

Monday, November 21, 1994. 6:00 AM. My partner Rob Main and I walked into the studio of WHND to begin what would be the last week of live broadcasts from Honey Radio.

Even before Halloween, many stores had their Christmas displays and decorations up! For years, people have pondered, discussed, and debated the "how early is too early for Christmas" topic. In … Continue reading Too Early?? →

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 →

The King is Gone

May 1977. The month I turned 7 years old, two movies were released that would have major influences over my childhood, and adulthood. The movies were Star Wars and Smokey and the Bandit. I can recall exactly where I saw each movie, too. I saw Star Wars at Hoover 11 when the movie theater was … Continue reading The King is Gone →

Tune Tuesday – Don’t Let Go

When I first started working in radio, it was at an oldies station. My dad, who was my biggest musical influence, took advantage of the fact that we had an extensive library and asked me to throw some of his favorites on a cassette for him. This was how I was introduced to the music … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Don’t Let Go →

Remembering my friend, Jay

In 1994, I was working at Honey Radio. Richard D. had a box full of jokes and show prep that he had collected over some time. He recycled many lines and adapted them to make them current. One day, while prepping his Top 12 at 12, I noticed a brown "newsletter looking" booklet. The title … Continue reading Remembering my friend, Jay →
