this only happens once every 4 years, but i’m happy to say that this is the third (or 12th) anniversary of me getting my dj license at wrho 89.7fm, “the voice of hartwick college” in oneonta ny.
it was the birth of bert, sister kristen, the nameless one, the captain...
it was the beginning of bert and the brown shoes, brother joe and sister kristen, the nonexistent truth...as well as football, soccer, field hockey, and even a lacrosse game...
and so many hours on air, for regular 3 hour weekly shows, subbing in for other people, 18 hour shows - alone and with others, the 48 hour show, the daylight savings marathon, the "welcome freshmen" shows, the spring weekend nights on frisbee field...
it was the freshman takeover, with my fellow djs - joe, dawn, brian, missy...
it was meeting new people, and making friends i wouldn't have made elsewhere - martin, brad, mathew, jorge, eric f, jj, shaun, jim, eric d, amy, kevin
it was making sure everyone in the organization felt welcome, including the non-students - wolfman, charlie the k, jerry k, irwin, mike w, mike s, uncle bill, the other guy who was on fridays before uncle bill took his place...
it was countless hours of hanging around in the station during other people's shows, or even when no one else was on the air.
it was listening to music that had just been released, and only to the college audience...and some of it was amazing and some of it was so, so awful...
i have so many fond memories! i loved WRHO. and will forever.
