SHOW 64
- Here's an exerpt of....no,
here's what I got in my mailbox tonight:
-
- Dear 610
Friends,
-
- Well, I've been a
faithful listener since '81, but I didn't realize
how valuable to a person, fortunate to be alive. I
listen all the time anyhow, but for the last week
that was about all I could do. My race car trailer
hitch broke and I got it in the face, bad. I'm
writing because I don't talk well yet, but my right
eye opened this morning. Talk about scared. Thank
the Lord I wasn't alone. How my brothers got that
thing off me, I'll never know.
-
- While I was literally
on my back, I stopped to think how much I
appreciated 610. We go back a long time. Ol' Corby
and I used to work together at King Tut's(He was
with WNCI then.) Bob Coneers warmed up my band at
Wyandotte Lake. He is the Monarch and it was an
honor. You would be surprised how many "rockers"
listen to 610. We like our News, Sports, Talk, and
your music selection, because we learned to play
from a lot of your playlist when we didn't know
which end of a guitar to hold. I have John Lane's
"Certificate of Musicology" framed on my office
wall. That was fun, you will have to ask him. That
was interesting, to say the
least.
-
- I met Sgt. Bob years
ago and he could throw a sprint car sideways with
the best. Later he had a very fast SCCA Datsun
Roadster after he calmed down. I hope we won't blow
up another aircraft engine again. I'll never forget
that one. Whew! I have good pals, Ralph and Judy
who met on Cannon's old "Desperate and Dateless."
Happily married to this day (2 kids). They were so,
shy. Think about that. When Cannon came back, I was
so glad to hear his voice again. I also met Drew
Hayes, in '86. He had just torn up Elvis P. and I
still think I have a tape of that. Man, that
ruffled some feathers!
-
- I was introduced to
Pam Spencer a few months ago, at a local venue
where Rock & Roll is played by various crazies,
such as Bradford Power Station. Pam, wear your
'chute. You a P-51 so you can strafe 270 and 23.
That would clear the way.
-
- I really appreciate
the new folks you have on line. Adam didn't deserve
the treatment he got from idiots using profanity,
when the delay was not operational. Iguess everyone
tunes in 610, even (unprintables). I felt so badly
for him. That was hurting him and althoughhe tried
not to let it show, it did. It made me mad. Why
ruin our fun? I stumbled around, trying to find the
phone to lend support. The lines were full, and I
just wanted to tell him that 99% are spoiled by a
few idiots. I had both eye swollen
shut.
-
- Anyway, Mr. White, and
folks at 610, you are much appreciated, especially
by a guy flat on his back (temporarily) and, in the
grand tradition of "Superman", don't let them call
you "Chief"
-
- Sincerely,
- "Whitehall" Pete

-
- P.S. Please pass this
around to the aformentioned personalities, if
possible.
- P.S. to
Adam,
- Glad to know you are a
musician! Sounds like you have a decent home
studio.
- If you need some bass,
feel free to ask. I've been playing since '68. The
'ol Fender looks like it, but it's owner doesn't.
Piece of advice, make darn sure you copyright your
stuff. We use the Library of Congress. Good
Luck.
-
- PM.
-
- Pretty amazing. I felt so good
when I read that. It was also nice to know that I was
not only mentioned, but talked about more than all the
other DJ's. Quick asides to Conners, and Cannon. Some
news people, some people not there anymore, and then a
lot on me. This looks very good to Bill I'm sure. It
didn't make sense in some places, but oh well. It was
a great honor and I'll cherish it forever.
-
- Now the show? Well, another
no-hitter. Big deal right? More race talk, and Mary
called up again and asked for music. Screw her. Go
listen to a music station. Not a talk radio station.
Everything was overshadowed by this letter. On my way
home Prof. John called Conners and talked about me,
and for the first time in my life I heard Conners say
my name. It was kind of cool. Of course he says
callers names every day so what's the big deal? Hey, I
liked it. No hitter tomorrow is unlikely.

SHOW 65
- Damn close... I could have done
it, but it was obvious I was struggling for calls, and
my voice was close to shot, so I played music. It was
nice, and hey who else does 6 straight hours of talk,
I don't feel too bad. Michael
called, the guy who has
been banned from other radio stations as well as ours
I've heard. Nuts, plain nuts...maybe salted. He was
accusing me of all this deception, it was quite funny.
I let him ramble like Conners told me to and he always
digs his own grave...but boy does he get the lines
lighting up. He was goin' crazy about having to pay a
tax to build the arena for a bunch of "fanatics". He
actually has some points but his voice is so
condescending that it just pisses everyone off. Great
radio. I was in a crazy mood tonight, I think my spunk
showed. Otherwise, routine. I have a meeting with BIll
on Tuesday, and have a lot to ask him
about.
