Share a favorite am1500 moment...
That would be when I was working nights and Tommy Mischke burst in during a newscast and drenched me with a super-soaker while I was reading the news. I was amused....Kodiak, the producer was not, as everything in the studio got drenched.

Wearing my hair down to the middle of my back and playing blazing lead guitar with a fine R&B or jazz/rock band.
