Some of you may have noticed that I have subbed three different KNON shows in the past two weeks. It was a punishment of riches - KNON deejays either usually have collaborators on their shows or simply do not miss shows. But I was the lucky beneficiary of three morning shows in less than two weeks. My gratitude cannot be understated.
But ah! Someone, who shall not be named but who is a real person I promise, wrote a nice email to the station's Traffic Director, & he shared it with me. So I would like you to see it too. It went like this (all caps in the original, although I have italicized it to set it apart from this text):
Loyal listener here with two quick thoughts*:
CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A GARY SHOW?!?
His fill-in shows have been a DELIGHT. Tuesday for Nil, and yesterday and today** were SO. MUCH. FANTASTIC. Eclectic, educational, unpredictable, funny. (Even when the @!#?-% CD player was uncooperative this morning.)
End of email. How nice is that?
Honestly I can't say if even a dozen of these would mean getting a show on KNON, but, as it stands, it remains (after nine months) the best chance for Self Help Radio to be heard in the D/FW Metroplex.
Which is not to say I am ungrateful for the love that Lexington & WLXU continue to give to this ridiculous radio show I do. I am utterly amazed that Self Help Radio continues to air in Lexington & I truly love WLXU & WLXL for their diversity. I just really, really want to do the show live again. I think you can understand that.
But until that time, getting sweet & supportive emails like this will sustain me. My damaged self-esteem may grumble, but I recognize it's really cool & nice.
* I don't include the second thought as it is not pertinent to the praise of me I am sharing.
