This has been an exhausting few days, radio-wise.
First I was asked to sub a show on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. That would be tonight. It's a jazz show. I was asked last Thursday. I started gathering the jazz.
Then I was told it was promised to someone else. I put away the jazz.
Then the Station Manager of KNON told me he wanted me to do one of the nights; the other sub would do the other. I dragged the jazz out & listened to jazz almost all weekend long.
Last night as I was falling asleep, I got a call from the Station Manager and the fellow who normally does the show. The other sub didn't show up! Could I do it? I drove the forty-five minutes to Dallas in the middle of the night & jazzed for two hours. It was not an inspiring set.
This morning I got two calls from the Station Manager. The first said yes, I should also do the show tonight. I was ready to marshal all the jazz. Then another call came & said the other sub misunderstood instructions & wanted to do the show. I was all right with that - better to find that out now than drive to Dallas & discover it that way!
Meanwhile, yesterday, I was asked if I wanted to sub the show before the jazz show I was then subbing on Wednesday morning. Six hours on the radio? Why the hell not? So I said yes.
Which means I am still subbing a show on a Tuesday evening. That's tonight, from ten to midnight central time. So I'd best leave for Dallas now!
But man am I a little confused & a lot sleep-deprived!
Also, I have a lot of jazz that I will have to wait to use at some point later.
