If you call me on my radio show on KNON, especially if you're going to tell me you like my show - even if you're trying to butter me up to play a request - you're going to make me happy. I'm going to tell you - or I'll say on the air - that I have such damaged self-esteem that such things just totally elate me. & it's one hundred percent true.
This morning I got a lot of nice calls, but two stood out.
One was a fellow who told me his kid was going to college & was going to be involved at his college's radio station & he told me, "I want him to do a show just like the Tuesday Morning Blend!" The funny postscript is that his kid is going to the University Of Texas At Austin so the station he was going to be be deejaying at is KVRX - where I started out. That was cool.
The other was a woman who was definitely not my target audience. She told me she & her husband (whose name was Gary) were retired but listened to my show every week. She asked me questions about stuff I played. & she was convinced that the "Gary" on the air was way too busy to answer the phone himself & didn't quite believe me when I said I was that guy.
The truth is, I spent the early part of the week bummed about bad interactions with my family. These two calls - & the others I got today - turned my mood around. I appreciate that.
Also I got treats from a new vegan bakery in Dallas called Sugar Fang for the wife & myself after lunch. That too was nice. That area of Dallas - Deep Ellum - is so strangely deserted during the day, while traffic rages all around.
