Ha! Admittedly, you don't get to bring Dr. Billy up very often.
I listened to Dees on a small transistor radio from the time I woke up.
I'd listen all the way to Treadwell HS on my skateboard, and occasionally sneak it into some classes with the earpiece in.

Dees was the man!
 
Re: Thanks DE!

> And someone out there owes me some hugs!

Wendi! (hugs)

Too bad it wasn't in person. That's a l o n g - d i s t a n c e hug!

Re: And the winner is...

"In the right place at the right time"

So were a hundred other airchecks including mine. But you made the cut. Don't sell yourself short.

Life is good, thanks.

I'm in the radio department at Vyvx ADS, where we distribute radio and TV spots for national advertisers. Our company also provides point-to-point fiber optic transmission for major network television events. Vyvx has done the Super Bowl transmission for the last 14 years. If you are watching a live sports event, the chances are pretty good that we are moving the feed on our fiber optic network.

On the radio side, we now distribute Westwood One's weekly commercial update to their network affiliates. We also do tons of distribution for Anheuser-Busch, Sonic, Outback Steakhouse and Allstate Insurance, among others.

I spent three wonderful years part time at WRVR, but with Vyvx and other commitments, I decided to depart The River this summer. I miss being part of the team there, but I can't tell you how great it has been to have my Sundays off for the first time in quite a while.
