There's no dirt or scandalous detail as to why I chose to move away from radio. The priorities in my world have changed significantly in the last 9 months and I am excited to forge through in a new direction. As that cliche saying goes, something something something...close doors to open new ones, right?
I have mixed emotions in ending this chapter, as the discovery of music, new and old has brought me great joy in sharing it all unbiasedly with you. I will miss the late night On-Air booth phone calls of stories of bands, new music suggestions, band interviews, guest DJ's and the guy who lived in his mom's basement, breathing into the receiver late at night (you too). I had some great interactions with people all over the World who downloaded the Podcasts on iTunes and sent emails, tweets and facebook messages. I was happy to see I had engaged so many of you inside and outside Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Sadly, it's time to move on and pass the microphone and console onto new talent.
This final radio blog entry is a thank-you to everyone who supported the programming on Rock n' Roll Must Be DESTROYED!!!, Hit and Run Radio and CJSR in general. There are countless of volunteers and FACRA Board members making great things happen for community radio in Edmonton and with the internet, CJSR is heard all over the world at the click of a button. I urge you to continue supporting independent media wherever you call home.
So to sum it all up, and likely how I would have ended the last aired show, I'll take us out with the Rolling Stones.
~Ciao!
