Not a deal: Just had one of my tracks played on the radio tonight for the first time, so buzzing a little ? 

Edit: Adding links (still semi reluctantly!) to the track on the various platforms after a few people requested to hear it ?

I remember the first time having a track played on WWWW Radio Station (called W4) here in Detroit!
We released it on 45!  It was a HUGE DEAL for us LOL  Especially back in 1980!  Craig St. James was the DJ and
I was sitting in the Radio Studio with him!  Ah the memories! The two songs were entitled:

"Someone's There" and "I'm Back"

There really needs to be a ❤️ emoji available for this post, a like doesn't quite cut it ? That would've been so cool!

It was!it's not much for most people and I get that, but it's the first track that I released so it was pretty novel hearing it on the radio ?

Larry, do you have the track online anywhere where you can share it?  It'd be fun to have a listen!

I couldn't find a playable version Pav....but was able to find it to buy for $9.99 LOL!
I should probably buy it just for posterity!

I can, although I had to mix the entire thing in headphones, so I'm not happy with the mix and it's probably not a popular genre, but I'll  PM you with a link anyway ?

Not ONE single Mix Engineer is EVER happy with their mix...even after it's done and released.  They always have "second thoughts" LOL!

I am aware of some technical flaws in the mix, but you know what, I do take some comfort hearing that ?

Congrats MM!

Man, if you don't have a copy, you absolutely should!

The most popular band I was in had cut a record with their previous drummer before I joined the band and never went into the studio during my years with the band. We'd play the venues I always dreamed of playing and colleges throughout the Midwest, but I wasn't part of the band's records, as I replaced the original drummer.  So it was cool to be heading into a place for a soundcheck and hear the band you're in on the radio, but when you weren't part of the recording, you feel a bit like a sideman. Funny thing though.  we played a lot of colleges all over the Midwestern US and more than a decade later, I was speaking at UChicago for the first time out of several times and it struck me, I played drums at a show there and I was a business speaker. Spoiler: it was a lot more fun to be a drummer.
