Good luck Joe! I know I teased you on the Boston Board regarding the Marshfield Fair ads, but I honestly hope something works out for you and that you are able to stay in the area. Enjoy a cup of coffee and go back to bed!
 
First day of Unemployment
Nice weather anyway
Thanks Popman
Joe

My Youngest Daughter Heather Leigh gets married a week

I love animals
Look at what happened to "Billy Charles"
from Lucky 99..a year ago at this Time..
Its NOT a nice world out there..as it says in the bible
"THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL"
Have a great weekend

I think most of us who have worked with...or at least KNOW Joe...are aware of the fact that he won't be out of work for long?

But relocating for the benefit of radio is something that all of us have faced at one time or another? Keep in mind that radio is INTANGIBLE. You can't touch it...hold on to it...or count on it indefinitely.

A solid home or place to live...friends...a dog...and family that understand HOW RADIO WORKS are what any jock can count on!

I know this better than anybody right now.

Joe,

We don't know each other, but I've heard a lot of your work on the air over the years. You're one of the very best, and you're definitely not going to be without a gig for long. You sound like you're down in the dumps right now, and all of us radio types can relate to the times we've been in a position like yours. Things will get better for you, and soon, like they have for all of us.

You must have a lot of friends in this business, so make sure you call them and ask them to spread the word that Joe McMillan is now available! There are also lots of radio stations who'd love to have your amazing voice do the voicetracking on one of their prime dayparts, and the money can be very good once you rack up a client or two or three. Who says you have to work at a physical radio station to have a good career in this business?

Take a deep breath, relax a bit, and be good to yourself. You'll move forward very soon. Just give it a little time.

I'm going to send your link to a bunch of my radio contacts right now. Enjoy your temporary vacation, because I think you'll be hearing from some GM's in short order who are hungry for great radio talent!!

Best wishes to your daughter as she sets sail upon a life of marriage. If you're the kind of guy in real life that you sound like on the radio, and I'm sure you are, she's got a great Dad. Be there for her, and don't let a temporary setback get you down.

A fan,
"Ray"
 
I want to Thank you all for your compassion
it means a lot!
Joe
 
Well
Going to my Daughters wedding on Saturday
Still No Job leads at All
I had a good Run
Radio Sure has changed
JM
 
Well
We're on our way to MA
Tomorrow for my Daughter Heathers Wedding on Saturday
If anybody hears of anything in the Bangor area
Please call 469-3038
a Cell phone number where I can be reached is on the Message
machine...
I can't believe my youngest daughter is Now getting Married
I think Bruce Stevens on WNSX Mornings sounds Great!
JM
 
Sorry Joe, but at least Scott Fybush is pluggin ya! :)

(Check out the latest NERW at www.fybush.com)

By the way, congrats on your inheritance of a new son-in-law.  May God bless you all.

Not that I know of any openings, but have you tried Dennis Jackson over at WMEX? That's not far from ME, and it's oldies if you like it.
 
Back from my Daughters Wedding in Masachusetts
It Was GREAT!..Heather was Beautifull!
and Now Back to Finding Work in Bangor?
I have a feeling it could take a while
SURE wish they would do something with Lucky
99 in Ellsworth and make it a local station....
After 2 years Mornings at WNSX I could do Well! There!
Anyway this is hard cause I'm really limiting myself
this time because my moving days are over..No more BOSTON or San Francisco Stuff, Bucksport/Ellsworth Maine is where I'm
staying...Love my house I bought in Jan
Plus I never thought I would... But I'm getting married
for the second time soon!
if anybody hears of anything in BANGOR
Please let me know...
I would appreciate it
Thanks

Well
Its been 2 weeks now
I did get a call about 5 hours a week part time in Bangor
if it was 10 hours 2 shifts Saturday and Sunday
I might have taken it
I realize after over 3 decades in the biz I love
AND working in Major Markets....BOSTON/San Francisco/Providence/Jacksonville
I'm Most Likely Done!
and I will have to learn something new
Radio has changed
and I will have to change with it
Thats Why "BILLY CHARLES" Bothered me so much last year
at this time..I KNEW where he was at..
I'm in the same position now BUT I have a Strong Belief in "GOD"
and someone Who really cares about me Thats Why I choose to Survive!!
AND I'm getting Married November 10th...Job or No Job
JM
 
Hi Joe,

I don't know you, but I knew Billy Charles. He was also a friend
of mine. I've been in radio and tv for over 30 nears now and have
been through what you are going through. It's your faith in God
that will get you through this and everything will work out. Hang
in there and keep the faith. Something good will come out of this.
 
Thank You
to Everyone
I really believe that 'Compassion
and Love" are the greatest gifts we can share
in this short life
Joe Mc Millan
