The other day on KOST 103.5, I heard, "If This is It, by Huey Lewis and the News. Oh, nostalgia time. Transported me right back to KWIZ-FM, where as an Air Personality, I played all those great songs from the 80's: Lionel Ritchie, Kenny Rogers, Simply Red, The Bee Gees, Journey, The Eagles, Chicago.
One of the first things you're told in deejay school is that you're not there to entertain yourselves...but the listeners. Well, it doesn't hurt if you actually like the music you're playing.
I enjoy listening to K-EARTH 101 as well, especially Christina Kelley in the evenings. We were in school together a long time ago...of course, she was much younger than I (around 18 at the time). I always knew she would go far. Of course, having Jim Bain as our instructor didn't hurt! Oh yes, and if you hear those traffic reports on the radio and TV by Bill Thomas, well, he's also "Bain trained." We recently got together to reminisce. Oh, the good ol' days!
