Sparky
Broadcasting from: Charlotte NC
Back in the dark ages, I stumbled into the radio biz. Started as an unpaid music researcher, graduated to show producer, on-air talent, music director and ultimately Program Director. Truly! It was even in R&R!
Formats ranged in my eight year radio career from MOR "Music Of Your Life" (if you were in your 70s at the time), classic Rock & Roll oldies (50s/60s sound), Country (and I know how ya'll luv your country!), Talk, and 24/7 Sports... all without changing my physical location! The station kept changing around me, but I remained.
So now, I've become a fan of ScrubRadio.
The other day while mowing the lawn and listening to my ipod, I thought to myself, "I got really great taste in music, I should be a DJ again..."
So... what the hell, let's give it a try! I'm always searching for the perfect song... and the quest continues... with ShockPop on ScrubRadio.com ....
if i ever get my act together.

Hi Sparky/Steve. Thanks for your welcome. Still unable to upload any songs. Maybe I should post you a cdr of .wavs or audio. Or would you rather mp3s (I don't like them me!). Ax
