I was doing show prep for tomorrow and came across this.. http://www.washington.edu/news/2014/04/14/puget-sounds-rich-waters-supplied-by-deep-turbulent-canyon/ – I was thinking of YOU… and then you posted this aircheck of me… #psychicfriendsnetwork lol

Great memories! Though I believe it’s 1994. In `97, wasn’t it K-Rock?
Lol, K97 was many things Chris. Sorry, I could not keep up with all the format changes and all 5 of the owner changes within a five year period.
It was something like ’92 to ’94… really good times, thanks again for putting that together Mark. I better not have dreams about cutting those calls on reel to reel, doing a live intro and extro, grabbing the right cd and cueing the right cut in the Denon player – and STILL nailing the post. Those shifts – that’s when you would light a smoke as soon as you left the control room… it was like a workout, I tell ya…
