It was fun seeing all of my deejay buddies post their photos and career trajectories for #NationalRadioDay last week.

Here are a few that I snatched from their social media pages.

And then there’s the program director’s memo that kept 19-year-old me on the part-time payroll. NOTE: he used bad math. I was being paid $40 per MONTH, or $480 per year to do some radio promotion work on the University of Kentucky campus.

Had they cut me, I would more than likely have found a different career path. 😢

My career: WKQQ (1976-1980), WLRS (1980-1983), WQMF (1983-1985), WHAS (1985-present)
