DeltAlum, not only were you a DJ (and it sounds like a rockin' good one if you brought in your own music!), but at a time when music was so
good. What kind(s) of music did you play? Or should I say, what format was the station?
I took radio production in college, and interned at a local Christian rock station,
Radio U. That gave me a lot of opportunity to learn different things about radio & radio production. Most of the guys that worked there were old school... they kept telling me that they dropped out of college to get into music/radio
but they knew
so much.. it still amazes me.
Anyway, I'm not doing radio now, but do like it. I've always thought the best DJs were the ones who obviously listen to a lot of their own stuff and then share it with the listeners. (You can tell when a DJ's music knowledge doesn't span much further than the stations' playlist).
