I have a memory from when I was 11 going on 12 and right after I moved to california. I was on a camping trip with my mom and sister, and at lake Lopez in California and I didn't really have any friends so I made new ones at the church camp. I met a girl and I can't remember her name. I have a memory of sitting in her pup tent and listening to Elton John's Lucy in the sky with diamonds. That memory when I was also listening to junk food junkie for some reason. We didn't kiss or anything like that, but I really fell for her and never saw her again. I still think of her whenever I hear Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

So I guess I'll pick up the story again in my non-linear fashion and once again apologize for being an old man and repeating myself sometimes. I have one word for you reader. Skin. Let's go back and dissect my journey through radio, into television, and out the other side. Before I tell you about radio I suppose that I should tell you what got me interested in it in the first place. When I was a young child My grandmother had an intercom system that I thought was very cool. It dated back to when my family apparently had money and servants. The servants were in one part of the house and the family was in a different part of the house. There were two units that were about the size of a toaster each and you could set one up in one room and one up in the other room and they worked like walkie-talkies. You could ask the service to do stuff without having to be in their presence. Wasn't that cool? By the time I came around there was no more money or servants but my grandmother st...

If you want to jump into my head for a few minutes and see what's there, try "shuffle playing" my Spotify playlist. Click the link below to hear the radio that is in my head. Radio Dave We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

All right so it seems I do have one more phone about the audience that I didn't really relay previously. The thing about the audience is that I always took great pleasure in doing something that please them. That was the stroke that I really got more than anything else. Whether it was the sound of my voice or what I was saying when I was speaking., Or the music that I was playing when I was a disc jockey, I hope that the audience would like it. I had to work for a few stations in my time where I was playing music that I didn't personally like and didn't think much of the audience that I was playing it for but it was still a cool gig. I guess that's really all I have to say, I just wanted to make sure that you understood that really my main pleasure was making the audience happy.

All right now that that distraction is over I'll get back to talking about how I miss being famous. Just kidding. I do miss the audience however. What I mean by that is that I miss knowing that a large number of people will hear what I have to say, and might be affected by it. I don't need to be famous or Rich, but having enough money to do what I wanted would be nice. The media never paid as well as people thought. People thought I was famous. Some of them anyways. And those people probably thought I had a lot more money than I did at the time. Anyways, the thing is that I like having the access that being a member of the media gets me. I don't ever really consider myself famous, and I'm certainly not now. But even at the peak of my radio career I never thought of myself in those terms. I was just Dave. On that same guy now but some people thought that I was the character that I was playing on the radio. Unfortunately my wife I think is one of those people. I'm sur...
