    I was on the radio!

    It was a call-in show on a little local AM station this past week. Hey, better than nothing! ^_^

    I sang a couple choir songs a capella and passed along a good bit of possibly dubious info about New Orleans.

    Grats!!! I'm envious, I wish I could be on the radio. But my voice would probably come out in a squeak. -_-;;

      TY.

      I was pretty nervous, especially at the beginning, and it affected my singing, too (dammit). I felt better and relaxed a bit as the show progressed, though.

        I used to DJ at our very small college station back in the 80s...
        “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
        One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
        The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

          I will always treasure the moment when I was at the station with my DJ buddy (he did a 60s rock show 'Saturday Sagebrush') and slipped him an LP and said "Track 1, Side 2."

          He has a violent allergy to twang, after spending the 60s as an albino teen hippy on an Army base 45 miles from the nearest supermarket and 80 from any heads.

          The song was "Ring Of Fire" ...

              Heh.

              That's actually pretty accurate for the French Quarter...and anywhere downtown during the major parades at Mardi Gras, come to think of it. That's why I tell people to do MG once, then hit the St Patrick's Day parades after that. Much smaller, much more kid-friendly. Just as drunky
