I recently found a few old photos that weren't destroyed or lost in the breakup. (Click to embiggen.)
This was taken at a radio station where I enjoyed the position of Public Service Director writing, producing, recording, and airing public service announcements (required by the FCC to maintain a public broadcast license), mid-day on-air 'personality' 3 hours daily - 5 days weekly, and producer of the Sunday morning 'God Squad' religious programming. Interestingly, I still have my broadcaster's license issued by the FCC and it's valid in case anyone wants to hire me to do voice-overs.
Note the old reel-to-reel deck behind me, the push-button phone in the center, as well as the old boom microphone just below the phone. The ancient mixing board in front of me was one of the best ever made.
The image was taken around 1981 or 1982, approximately 30 years old. Just another snippet from my past life.
And so it goes.

Very interesting! It is a shame that you're still not broadcasting. You're good! You would be so much better than some of these boring stiffs that do local news. I guess this is another case of being at the right place at the right time. It is sad to see a natural talent like yours not being utilized when so many no talents are in the medium today. How does that happen?

ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteYou look like lots of fun. m.
After all this time I still learn something new about you.
ReplyDeleteNo spewing. What a great picture. But is that sound studio carpet or fungus on the walls.
ReplyDelete@Ron: This is the first positive comment from you in a long time. Thanks
ReplyDelete@Ur-spo: Their height would top Blueberry Hill.
@Mark: Thanks.
@Peter: I've lived an interesting life and there is much more to share.
@Mitch: If you know studios you know that many smell of stale tobacco and booze. Not this one. No smoking anywhere in the place. The walls were sound-proofed using a double layer of cork tiles which were then covered with squares of thick shag carpet. That studio was a joy to work in. Experimenting with various sound effects always offered a good time and we produced some cutting edge spots. Thanks for noticing.
Thanks all for your visit and comments.
