Doris Day is an amazing lady and a living legend. She turned 83 in April. Of all stars, Doris is my favourite and always has been. After many years of singing and dancing her way through life in the movies, she decided to dedicate her life as an animal rights activist. That was 30 years ago folks. What will you be doing when you are 83? http://www.ddal.org/
An appreciation blog for the STARs of St. Andrews Radio,including commentary and webcam snapshots. Plus some extra bits about a few other "star" encounters.
A few favourite DJs
Three weeks of fun and, in this humble old radio guy's opinion, here are my personal top DJ favourites for the Spring 2007 semester: Matt & Georgie for enduring exhuberance; Monique & Jesse for quality nullus secundus; Andy & Tom for going beyond the expected; and Andrew Scott for the finest music this side of the moon. There is no way I could select just one show. And a huge thanks to everyone who smiled for the webcam.

Old Radio Guy
Many years ago when I worked at a radio station in the colonies on the West Coast of Canada, a listener invited me to a nearby island where he lived. He thought it would be fun if I recorded part of my show at his place, using some really old radio equipment. It was a novel idea. When I arrived at his filthy little shack, I was ready to leave. However, I recorded one hour using his ancient setup. He took a photo (above) to mark the occasion, then went into a little nook with a curtain and developed the film and printed the photo. Before leaving, I asked if I could use the toilet and he pointed to the little nook with the curtain and handed me an old pail. Just one of those unique once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Creepy, eh?
