Bad Radio! BAD!

For most of my life, I've been known as a radio guy. Rest assured, the only kind of radio I know how to do is the bad kind, but for some reason, my skills kept me in the business for over 22 years. I was an on-air personality, or (he says with righteous indignation) "D-J." I always hated that title, I've never been a disc jockey. Jockeys ride horses. Records were never called discs, until CDs were invented.

I've done morning shows, mid-day, afternoons, night shows, overnights, weekends... from city to city. I was never really too picky about where I worked, as long as it was radio. I loved the music (still do) and really enjoyed entertaining people. Sorry, let me put that in quotations, "entertaining" people. Some didn't find it very entertaining. Screw those people!

Occasionally, the bug bites and I feel like doing it again. Today and tomorrow, I've been asked to fill in for the afternoon drive show on 93.7 The Bull in St. Louis, MO. Feel free to tune in between 2 pm and 7 pm central. The station streams it's signal at www.thebullrocks.com. Click "Listen Live."

If you hear a guy named Dave Louis, that's me. I change my name on-air to protect the innocent. It has nothing to do with the IRS, child support enforcement or witness protection program... as far as YOU know.

Don't expect much, it's been a while.

Umn.. and there is nothing wrong with any of those organizations you mentioned. I "might" work for one of them.

You've alway and will continue to be "DJ Dave" to the clan... so ENJOY it!

We'll talk on the air later. You ARE doing that spot on cat farts, right?

Dave - Mike and I have been listening all day and still no mention of your favorite friends? You were my shower buddy, remember? I see where I rank!

I listened for a couple hours. As so many others have said in the past, your voice is remarkably good, so easy on the ears.

And it was ESPECIALLY nice that The Bull is a country station -- Hoss's all-time (and only) favorite kind of music.

I'll check in again tomorrow.

You are doing the spot for the Valentine contest.
