Behind the scenes of my year as a radio DJ doing 7 to midnight at Baton Rouge's leading FM "progressive" rocker, while spending weeks on location for a CBS TV-movie!
So cool! I was a DJ in college and after college a bit - for a university. I love your “flanging!” What a great thing that would have been to experience!
My DJ studio in the 90s was very nice equipment. And we only had 2 turntables. It was so cool, to me, that we could play the records backwards. Or at least turn them a bit.
Have you seen the show “The Getdown”? It was on Netflix at one point. I hope it’s still there. They should not have cancelled that series. It’s about the birth of hip hop, by DJs.
Loved reading your story here. It brought back fun memories from my own DJ days.
Thanks, Jodi! I managed to spend two years, at two different commercial FM stations (KLOL/Houston and WFMF/Baton Rouge, LA, 1975-77) after my two college station forays (KNTU/N. Texas State U., Denton, TX and KUHF/U. of Houston1973-75).
Those were fun days, definitely! I have not seen "The Getdown". Thanks for reading and commenting, Jodi! I think you'll find more fascinating behind-the-scenes stories about the '70s and '80s record biz all through FRONT ROW & BACKSTAGE! Feel free to poke around!
