After being on the sidelines for awhile, and not doing much this summer, I literally forgot how compelling and time consuming radio can be. Hey, I aint bitchin', this is why I got into the business. Next week, I get to meet Bob Seger again. It was 1984 when I first met him, the Tigers were in the playoffs and we talked baseball while having a glass of red wine before his show. I must admit, in the ten minutes we talked, he must have had five smokes. The station in Nashville actually gets to present shows and I will be taking some listeners backstage to meet the man. Shit, it's nice to know some things haven't changed after all these years. I have three appearances before the end of the month, and according to the Brock that rocks, I will be in line for plenty more. After the first few awkward days being in a city where you don't even know where the streets run and their names, this will be cool. Starting Monday, I will be on the air for 12 straight days. I will be spending all of my free time in the production room, trying to figure the whole thing out. The only drawback is missing the family and feeling a bit lost here. This is where God has sent me and I do not question the master.

Good Luck, Randy...Please keep the blog going!

Bonnie, one of my first duties is to find where they are sleeping. I know where their house is, it's now owned by Barry Gibb. Yep, a Bee Gee owns their pad in Hendersonville.
Here's hoping that your new/old boss will give you the freedom to play whatever you want. Your best shows were always the ones that were filled with surprise cuts (except when you went thru that "marching band" thing back at KY102 - never was sure what was up with that and forgot to ask.) Best of luck to you!
