Don’t remember the 1st record overall, but the first CD I bought with Def Leppard’s “Hysteria” in 1988. I didn’t even own a CD player yet…..I think I must have been manifesting.
Sugar Ray at the Rose Garden in 1997 for KNRK.
I knocked the station off the air when I plugged my headphones into the old rotary board….the static electricity shorted something out……I had to open the board up…..flip a switch, wait 30 seconds, then fire it back up. Off the air the entire time.

My very first show! The PD asked the night guy to sit with me for my first show and after the first break he asked me, "you feel like you've got it?" I said yes and he bailed. Nerves took over and I botched the next break and couldn’t fire the next element. It was an absolute soup sandwich!
