What was the first artist or song you played as a WMSE DJ?
The first time I was ever on air at WMSE, I was cohosting with Holly. I remember the first song I intended to play was Tales Of Brave Ulysses by Cream,
I was sending it out to my Dad. Unfortunately the album was one of those ATCO labels where the tracks are broken up counter intuitively by the label design, so I played the wrong track. That pretty much set the tone for the years to come.
Who was your first interview?
The first interview I remember handling was Southern Culture On The Skids, in probably 2007. They had just released a covers
album and they did a version the T Rex song Life’s A Gas on it. I asked them on air why they didn’t do a deeper T Rex cut that
would’ve been more relate-able to their sound, like Country Honey. They were not very happy with that question and I felt bad
for asking. Live radio is tricky. You never stop learning.
