My friends Brian Corbett and John Coyne up in Boston finished a documentary about College Radio "Low End of the Dial". After years of work trying to get the complete picture on this craft the picture is on its way. Trailer VO provided by yours truly (and I helped them out a little bit on the project in general when I was still living in Boston).

Very cool Lance. I'd be interested in seeing that. I'm a record promoter and have dealth with college, non comm and commercial so I'd be curious what it has to say.

Wow...that brought back a lot of great memories...I spent four years at WSPN- the Skidmore College radio station, I was GM my senior year - which was actually a paid gig!

We were on the air 24/7 (including during the summer) except for vacation weeks and during finals - both students and town folk were on the air. I actually used to engineer Lena Spencer's folk show on Saturday mornings .....got to meet cool folks like David Amram...unfortunately back then the world was awfully fuzzy on Saturday mornings. In 1981 I saw this wicked cool new band from Ireland after their album Boy came out. They were heavily targeting college radio and had a meet and greet with all the college radio geeks in the area. I got to talk to the lead singer and the lead guitarist after the gig - they had funny names - Bono and The Edge- ...College radio was the best time I evah had evah evah....that's where I first learned how to fly by the seat of my pants and that's where I caught the darned radio bug (I should have washed my hands more I guess)...

Nice job, Lance! I'd be interested in seeing that as well!

So THAT's how you know Heavy Lenny! Here I figured you were a music director somewhere, sometime, too...

I got along great with all the jazz label reps with whom I worked in college. I got their product on the air and they beefed up our library so that we could be competitive with the University in town. win-win!

Moe, I ended up being Hobo Laughing at our station and that was one of the few paid positions as well. With a staff of 45 students to wrangle, the pay was never enough, ya know?? Wink
