Leave a Comment: Are you a musician? Your Favorite Station is? How do you vote?
by Stephen Weber on 12/22/18
At a small market AM In 2018 I met a young disc
jockey running the classic AM Top-50 sound of the late 1950’s and early and mid
1960s. . Let's tag him, Ian. He said
he wasn’t making much $ with a singing group that sounded like The Crests so he
went into Radio.
I noticed his light hair and well-groomed appearance. He reminded me exactly of the 50’s 60’s stereotype jock.
He was doing a smooth mixture of oldies, jingles, spots and news. His rules seemed to be like so. HIS MUSIC:
MIND responds to the HARMONY
MIND responds to the LYRICS
SPIRIT responds to the MELODY
BODY responds to the RHYTHM
(BEAT). Ian’s radio show reminded
me much of the professional personalities of yesterday. Rhythm: the least
important ingredient in music. So Is your favorite radio station a smooth old-timer, last of the old-time cookers, screamers, Doo-Wop, automated LP's or Music of Your Life oldies? Please leave the message. Thanks, Your Truly, Good Guy, Chuck Weber
