What A Week It Has Been
Last Thursday, I was fortunate enough to be present when Q Rock Radio.com debuted. John Van Pelt fired things up on the microphone. There were television crews present and our local daily newspaper had already given us some great press online and in print, as well.
Freakin' Deacon was there. Doctor Bob Chase, too. Mixin' Dixon worked his magic. Bob Scarborough did his thing as well. Bill Hennecy, the man who inspired (...and SCARED) so many in radio, even made an appearance. Now, that I think about it, Hennecy scared a lot of folks outside of the radio game, too. I've got stories that I'll have to share some other day.
How about this? I even got do an hour on the first day of Q Rockin' from Broadway at the Beach. Although, I'm on the air Monday through Friday at my station, WLSC....something happened when I said, "Q Rock Radio!" I'm here to tell you that you could just feel the electricity in the air.
That first day on Q Rock only wet my appetite for more. I had obligations at my station last Friday, so I only got to hang out at Q Rock for about a half hour on day 2.
Saturday in the Sun Fun City. WOW! I read online that Johnny D. is in the studio. He's the guy that hired me back in 1989. He's the one responsible for bringing me to Myrtle Beach. I grabbed my 4 year old son, Tristan and drove as fast as I could to the studios at Broadway at the Beach.
When I got there Johnny had already departed. "Is he coming back?" "How did he look?" "Why was in such a hurry?" I was never that excited about Johnny when we worked together. He always scored more babes than I did. Now that we're both married with kids, things have changed.....a lot!
One of his old girlfriends did swing by. I had to tell her, "You just missed him." Ironic, huh? It was like the old days and I liked it.
I hung around listening to Freakin' Deacon and John Van Pelt. A friend stopped by with his son and I gave him the Q Rock Tour. We had lunch together.
When we rolled back to Rock 'n Roll Heaven, Hennecy was there. More stories. I picked up some great marketing pointers from Henn-Man that afternoon. Then!!! Johnny D. walks in with his three daughters. (Quick! Grab the camera.) He wasn't there more than 10 minutes, but I did get a photo with the man responsible for introducing me to Bill Hennecy and Tom Rogers.
At 5:00, I got to do 2 hours on Q Rock!!!!! I even airchecked myself. Crazy. Just crazy!
As for Sunday and Memorial Day, I spent those days with the family. I don't do enough of that. Nonetheless, I still listened to Q Rock most of the day on Monday. I fired up my laptop and plugged in my tiny, Part 15 compliant FM transmitter and broadcast Q Rock to my backyard.....YEAH! Q Rock helped me get through the brutality of preparing my backyard for a few pallets of sod being delivered to the house this week.
As I write this, I haven't been back to the Broadway at the Beach studios, but I will. I've been busy catching up because I took Monday off this week. Anyway, I've been rockin' with the Q as I travel. I grabbed that tiny, part 15 compliant FM transmitter and plugged into my laptop, along with my AT&T wireless card and Voila!!!!!!!!, It's Q Rock on the go. I can take it anywhere.
Soon, internet access will be in your vehicle. You can already listen on the I-Phone and other PDAs. Locally, HTC Communications just started offering the I-Phone. The Q Crew is back leading the charge in a digital age. I'm fortunate to be a part of it.
I feel like it's history in the making and it's only Wednesday afternoon. Sure, it's only been a week, but..... Oh!, what a week it has been.
Stay Tuned!
