My First Radio Broadcast

[57Gregy]

Circa 1960. I'm the kid looking up at the MC. Moving right from there, brother Carl, Mom, brothers Steve and Mike.

You can't just show a pic without any backstory! Who was this Woody guy, and how, exactly, does he know your Mom?

When I was 4 I found myself on a local kid's TV show in Tucson. I had no idea what was going on, as we didn't even own a television at the time. My dad had taken me to the station because he was buying advertising time there. I was only interested in the Teletype machine clacking out news bulletins. Somebody at the station asked if I wanted to be on this show, basically to sit on some bleachers with a bunch of kids and watch cartoons. The entire concept struck me as bizarre, but cartoons are cool so sure. It was a surreal experience, but when Dad asked if I wanted to do it again, I declined. Too many rocks waiting to be turned over in the back yard looking for creepy crawly things.
