Scotty F. is one that you either like or hate. He has a style that is unique, that people find entertaining or just grating on your nerves. I do like Scotty in small quantities. As far as 3-4 hours straightof listening, no can do. He has made the rounds from station to station. That possibly scares off potential employers. Word travels fast in the industry, some of it fair, some not. One thing for sure, Scott is a solo artist. Any network/station that hires him to team him with someone else is making a bad decision. There are guys with styles that can play off their partners, (Bruno, Kiley & Booms) and there are those who have to go solo (Rome, Ferrall).
