Damn Lee, I listen to Death Metal a pretty good bit but when I hear Tool I always start feeling angry some reason. Have no idea why. I like the music.... Is it just me?

Spent every Friday night/Saturday after midnight at WSIM in 1975 splicing in the spots we sold on the Flower Hour tapes we got from DR Productions - I forget who the actual syndicator was. This was before they began distribution on LPs, I think. Either that or we had selected receipt of the programs on tape. I'd pull the carts from the rack and dub them back onto reel to reel, then splice them into the program where indicated. That, of course, necessitated listening to the program to find the breaks where the commercials were to go, so it took a few hours. During the summer, when fellow radio people showed up with beer, whiskey, and various other substances, it took a few hours longer to get it all done.

Then I'd cue it up Saturday evening, and at midnight, run from the control room to the production room and hit play on the Revox and sit back and relax for the last two hours of my 7 pm - 2 am shift. If we had had a reel to reel in the control room, we would not have had to splice in the commercials - but it wouldn't have been quite as relaxing. As I recall, we had to return the tapes afterwards; I'm surprised you found an LP.

Wow, :cool: What a cool job to have.....Getting paid to listen to music. I had a cassette recording that I made back in school. I found the LP on EBay 25 or so years ago. I have a Buddy that worked at a radio station in Knoxville that has a load of the King Biscuit LPs. He got them when the station was doing a house cleaning.
