Checkered Past's Guest DJ Adventure

Support KKFI 90.1 FM!   In the Spring 2009 KKFI Fund Drive, we decided it would be fun to buy a guest DJ slot. We scheduled our day well in advance, and despite that, there was a scramble at the end to get the four of us who participated to merge and blend the songs we'd chosen into a cohesive program.

Bill and Lynn did a retrospective of music they'd loved; Martha featured music of people she's known and played with; and K.C. seemed to pick songs that evoked the places she's lived. Kerry chose to sit this gig out, but we tipped our hats to him as a songwriter by playing his track "Fortune's Fool" from our 5-song CD.

Diana Suckiel agreed to be our engineer, and showed remarkable calm in the face of the chaos of all the CDs we were slinging in her direction. Lynn's always loved the Foolkiller Folk show, but is even more impressed to see what goes into creating two-hour listening experience. Our deepest thanks to Diana for engineering and doing the paperwork, to Kathy Peters for cluing us into the regulations that affect our song selections, to all the Foolkiller Folk hosts for making space for us, and to KKFI for being our ccommunity radio station.

Check it out. You too can be a Guest DJ.
