In today's episode of 'random shit I found in the basement', we have a handwritten song log from 3/23/92 from my daily shift at WBLR. This was my first day on the air, and my song selection was suspect at best. I had been trained and worked at WSBF in Clemson, so I was used to filling out these logs...only wish I had written the track name and not just number on the personal version. I would do these, then spend my last half hour transferring a detailed version onto the official log book for the FCC. It was totally a terrible process I had, and only lasted this way for a couple of weeks before I went directly to the official one and learned to write more in a more legible fashion. . WBLR was an AM station where we played 'classic rock' from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. My on air background up to this point was college rock and alternative. So this was a big change in the actual songs. Plus at the time, we still did hourly agricultural forecasts and local information blocks. It wasn't unusual to talk about the upcoming 'auction at the cow barn' or the 'annual street dance & cake walk'. It was a simpler time...😬 . Also, take note of the artist order... Dead >>> Buffet >>> Eagles >>> Beatles Aerosmith >>> Billy Joel >>> The Doors You can definitely tell I wasn't super comfortable mixing all those decades yet...plus I worked solo, so I had to figure out how to play a long song here and there so I could have a quick break...thank you Riders On The Storm, Stairway To Heaven and Goodnight Saigon... . And that sign off (which I repeated every single day I worked there) of Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend...it was my way of being a rebel...😂🤣😂 . . #basementfinds #radiodj #onair #wblram1430 #oldjobs #questionabletaste (at Chateau Ruff-N-Baker) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEj0xbiDF5q/?igshid=wtcvkwwogny
