If I am remembering correctly, again from what I saw on playlists and what
Stevie told me, he could not get commercial rock airplay in Dallas--his
hometown-- after the first CBS record was released. Austin, yes on KLBJ, but not on
Q102. I remember even Redbeard(famous Texas DJ) not being able to play/add
the record....

Texans--can you elucidate?

This was not/is not so uncommon with local musicians who have made
albums--it was hard to get your own local stations to champion you! Again, I speak
from primarily a blues perpective...

Happily perplexed--I'm from Indiana and Chicago,

Mindy

Personally, I almost never listen to the radio and rarely watch any of the music TV channels. Occasionally I'll play the blues channel that Comcast offers, usually only when I'm busy around the house and don't want to deal with selecting CDs, MP3s (or flac files), etc. I've ususally got a stack of CDs I haven't listened to yet that I'm working my though or dig out something from the collection that I haven't heard in a while. So much music, so little time!

I'm more and more aware of how the way I listen to music has changed,
partly because of age, partly because of technology. Going back to the
80's again, it seemed important that something be on the radio that I
liked. I always had a music station on, either in my car or at work, and
felt "tuned in" if I received my daily dose that way. The radio station I
listened to was often a piece of my identity, so it better play something I
liked. Now that I'm older and dumber and have thousands of tunes on my mp3
players, it doesn't matter whether someone gets air play or not. I
discover artists differently and make buying decisions differently. I
expect my favorite artists to not get mainstream radio play and don't
listen to mainstream radio enough to know if they do. I imagine it's that
way...

Joanna,

You're probably right - it could have been 1998 but I'm pretty sure it
wasn't 1999... Hope you are doing well...

Hey Chuck,

It's scary to think that Paul is now in his early 30's, yet it's
still hard to think of him as anything other than that lanky kid
from Denton. :-)
