You peeled away years of radio burn out and helped me remember not only how much but why I had “The Fever”. I’ve been that guy on the air, the station running off a National Guard generator, keeping everyone informed about where yet another tornado was about to pass through. Explaining nicely to that little girl that “Yes Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings”. Being amazed that a bunch of twenty something DJs could be so much company to middle aged widow that every Holiday she would bring us home baked cookies and bags of oranges and cakes on our birthdays that we were not afraid to eat. You did a great job of capturing what radio once was for me. It gives me hope for the medium that corporate holding companies have not completely extinguished the passion for the people’s medium.
