So sweetie...ya say ya wanna be a DJ?
Back in the late 1960’s fresh out of high school, I went to the local brand spanking new FM radio station and asked to train and become a DJ. I was that music nerd that loved reading liner notes and was the “go to” person in school if you wanted to know who sang what song and who were the members of a particular band. I listened to the radio whenever I could, like we all did, and I could “see” myself being on the radio. I was not encouraged to pursue being a DJ by that radio guy, but was told something along the lines....“Sweetie, if you can type and make coffee, we have a job for you.” I said no thank you and went on my way for the intervening decades to type and make coffee for lawyers. Hindsight being 20/20, I should have taken that radio station office gig (I still can type like the wind) and as times changed....worked myself into the on air studio. Oh well... fast forward 40 plus years and here I am on the radio and podcasting and loving every minute “on the air” just like I knew I would. Tasty Brew Music is a labor of love to share my passion for Americana/Bluegrass/Country/Roots Music ... an attempt to curate the content that comes to me in these genres via music, live performances, photos, links and stories. I am a member of the Americana Music Association and Folk Alliance International. The views and opinions expressed on the radio show and on my Podcast, Tasty Brew Music, are mine alone and those of my guests. I welcome comments, suggestions for music and other interactions to highlight on my programs. The goal - to educate and uplift our collective spirits by promoting the creativity of the singers, songwriters and musicians in this community. As John Hartford said “Turn your radio on and listen to the music in the air....”
