Spontaneous Apple Creation: 6/15/07

Today was that kind of quiet relaxing day at the station.

I brought my niece along because she is interested in perhaps persuing a career in broadcasting at some point (she's only just graduated from HS). We tried to hook up her I-Pod but... to no avail. She had to listen to her Uncle's Hippie music which, I'm happy to say got no complaints.

She will be leaving the States next week on a trip to Paris, and when she said, "I'll be visiting Jim Morrison's Grave." I got all choked up inside... This poor girl was born about 30 years too late! That's OK... It proves that the legacy lives on! I hope she has an excellent trip. Bon Voyage, Sam.

Her boyfriend is already in Europe on a backpacking trip, and they plan on meeting in Paris next week. How romantic. I asked if she saw the movie "Hostel", and she said yes... It didn't bother her.
(Thanks to her Uncle, she'd been weaned on Horror flicks since a very young age... much to the chagrin of her Mother.)

Joe O stopped by with a copy of the new Clear Blue Sky CD, "Gateway To The Seventh Dimension" which is still not released to the general public, so I'm excited to hear it. He had gotten permission from the band to play the title cut on the air, and I was going to play it, but alas... the CD players wouldn't co-operate... I did play a "doublshot" from earlier CDs instead.

CLEAR BLUE SKY are one of those 'pet' UK bands of mine (along with HAWKWIND & STRAY), that I've followed throughout the years, and I'm very happy indeed that they are still performing their brand of wonderful progressive music.
I can only hope that their newest release is available soon...

Thanks for the phone calls, and thanks for listening.

I wish I was on the air again, Sis...

I re posted this one from nearly two years ago - just to have it here on the Scribe. I miss the station, but work will not allow me to be back on the airwaves at this point.

Maybe something will change - I can only hope.

There are still so many things that I need to re organize in my life, thanks to the counts of Monty Crisco - but I can't blame it all on them... They have just made it much more difficult for me by throwing up all the roadblocks at once. Eventually I'll get over the obstacles - then... look out world.

I just have to keep on saying, "I can do this. I can do this. I can do this."

;o)
