Take a ride through the star system on the Star System Express!
What a thrill. One of my recordings was played on the radio. One Morning I happened to tune into Ankarlo mornings on 92.3 KTAR just in time to hear Darrell Ankarlo say "If you are a musician, I'm looking for a new song". Due to the nature of my job I sometimes only hear a few minutes of the radio at a time as I am driving from customer to customer for appliance repair service. This was one of those days. So I emailed him from my service truck. I sent it with typo's and all as I was in a hurry because I was at my next customer's house. That night I decided to record a song to send him. I was thinking about what I heard in my head for a talk show intro. It ended up with 8 tracks including (in order of recording them) Bass, Drums, Percussion, Saxophone, Organ, Guitar, Piano, and the voice over. I did not spend any time perfecting it. I talk within the recording as an example of how it could be used. Then I sent him the rough draft via email as a mp3. The next day I heard nothing. But the following day... I happened to tune in just before he said, "this guy made one" Then he played it. Wow! Like I said- What a thrill. To hear myself on FM radio. This is what played...
