Hey y'all! (Y'all?? Where the heck did that come from?) Guess I'm just Debbie-Reynolds-Excited because it's October, the very best month of the year, if you don't count December. (I'm not gonna count it.) Especially THIS October because not only do I get to be another year older (39. Again. I'm holding at 39.), but it's also my 10th year of 2 On The Aisle. That's right, I started my on-air "career" on October 21, 2012, here at Jazz90.1. The show was only 1 hour long at that point, 1 hour being totally enough time to terrify and palpitate me (and probably my audience). After the first 3 shows, I was ready to throw in the towel, fraught (love that word fraught. Reminds me of Bud Fraught-ley.) with anxiety and "I'll never be good enough" blues. BUT I prevailed, and although there's still room for improvement, I'm still here (as Stephen and Elaine would say/sing), pushing buttons, monitoring volumes, deep breathing, and tongue-tying my way thru (now) 2 hours of Broadway every week. And I still love it.
Me, when I'm not radio-ing.
Yup, I'm a 3rd grader.
So we're celebrating. A Birthday, an Anniversary, annnnnd a Pledge Drive! Thanks to folks like you, Jazz 90.1 gets to play whatever it wants (to its multifaceted content), unshackled from mega corporations that dictate, and commercial contracts that demand. What a station! Can you imagine 30 plus volunteers coming together to produce such a thing? (Well, I can. I managed the Kendall Lawn Chair Ladies for 8 seasons. Herding cats and all that.) Anyway, it's like the Virgin Birth. Almost 50 years of broadcasting, thanks to miracles like volunteers and listeners like YOU!
Another one of me, non-DJ-ing.
The result of herding Lawn Chair Ladies. Don't rain on my parade.
If you appreciate all that we do (from food drives to cruises to concerts to 24 hour entertainment), let us know with a donation. $5.00, $500.00, $12.50, $29.95...it all counts, it all matters, and when it all gets added up, it equals another year of jazz, blues, standards, fusion, computer talk, and Broadway. We'll be swell, we'll be great, gonna have the whole world on our plate. With You. :)
