Looks like your asks are still open. Assyming you've stopped day drinking, began night drinking and worked your way around the clock. Cheers! When did you start collecting music, how old were you and what artists/genres? Follow up, what was considered College Radio when you were studying? Please send thank you, Dagney
I fell asleep early on my big day off. I woke up at 3 AM and made wild amounts of food. It was a beautiful and awkward day. Cheers to you!
I was about 10 years old, when I started digging into music that I wanted to hear. I had a Panasonic tape recorder with a radio, and I exclusively recorded songs from the radio.
I took copious notes on graph paper, and I still remember writing “The Whistling Song” for “Dock of theBay,” because I caught the song late on the radio.
“Killer” by Alice Cooper and “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC were pretty formative, but all the music I found was equal in my brain. “Let’s Disco.” “A Little More Love” by Olivia Newton-John. I don’t have enough thumbs to type out all the songs.
College radio was something I did not only appreciate, but also something I participated in. I recently talked to a woman who had my favorite show when I was a young man. It’s a good thing to tell people how they mattered.
I had my own show, and I only remember “A Way.”
Thank you for these questions! You’re a wonderful stranger!
