Abstract Index playlist - September 20/06

The original Studio One, circa 1990. Note the open-reel decks where I first learned how to dub on the air. Chris Compton is in the foreground.

Thank you to everyone who's called over the years. Usually the highlight of my weekly post-mortem to Sarah is recounting a phone conversation with someone. It's a great feeling when a listener pulls over at the side of the road just to say how much they love what's playing. Or when someone tells you that the music you're playing has lifted their spirits. Or someone calling from a construction site, or, for that matter, those who call several times a month. It's not like I give out the number much either... Those calls mean much more to me than fundraising dollars. With myriad entertainment options available to anyone in the GTA, taking the time to call up a DJ is a sign that community radio, and my own programming, still connects with people.
