It was one year ago today that I stepped off the train in New Orleans. While I knew this would be an adventure, I couldn’t even begin to understand how rewarding it would be. I’ve been doing this radio thing for a long time - 30 years, to be exact - and I’ve never felt so welcome, and at home as I have here in New Orleans. From Day One, you the Bayou listener, made me feel wanted - and I cannot find the words to tell you how grateful I am for that!
The vibe of this city is phenomenal! Sure, we have problems, and lots of work to do, but the culture and character - combined with the people - insure that our community will prevail. I’m proud to be a part of the unique fabric that IS New Orleans, and hope to celebrate many more anniversaries here.
I do have some individual kudos I want to send out. First, I’d like to thank Drunk Ass Boss & The Corporate Cutthroats for hiring me, and giving me the opportunity to be part of New Orleans. I’m also thankful to the staff here at Bayou 95.7 for being so supportive and friendly - we truly treat one another as family here! I;m grateful to those of you who listen and call/write - y’all make my day! And special thanks go out to two people who’ve really been my beacon of light: My buddy The Pizza Man in The Warehouse District, who patiently helped transform this Dumb Assed Yankee into a reasonable facsimle of a NOLA resident, and Kat, who has faithfully and diligently been in my corner since the day I arrived.
The biggest props go to you, Workforce! You’ve hung with me and let me into your world, have tolerated the stupid sh*t I say on the radio and have introduced yourselves to me via e-mail, stopping by our events and on the phone. THANK YOU!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a dinner to attend. Big steaks, cold beer and hot babes :-)! Don’t worry - Mama taught me well. I won’t get any on me!
Again, my most sincere thanks!
