That was a great interview with Pete – you wouldn’t believe what I had to do to hear the Pete & Geets morning show up in Barrie before ‘ny moved to the CN tower (couldn’t hang up our coats and there was no tin foil for the roast).

That period of time in the 80’s was the greatest for me (I’m 40 this year). It was because of the fun stuff you guys did (and later with Humble) that led me into a radio broadcasting career myself. First as a copywriter, promotions, operator, on-site producer then in sales (yuk). Then the wife threatened divorce if I didn’t get out.

I love radio, sad that the suits have wrecked it and am now about to start a new career as an insurance broker (there’s a joke in there somewhere). I always enjoyed what you did on the radio – I still remember Mr. Gooheead trying to sell his gas – the promos – “Humble and Fred – one door two knobs”. All you guys brought fun into my mornings whether it was school, work (or now lack of work).

If you ever win the lottery (or if I win the lottery) or if you or I meet some crazy people that have money burning holes in their pockets, you would be one of the first people I would call to start a new station of sports and rock talk.
