During my show on Monday I realized that only have a handful of shows left. I don’t think the reality of this statement has really sunk in for me yet. I have spent the past four years tied to the station and sometimes I felt like my show was the only thing keeping me sane. It is going to be difficult to let go of that and move on.
I can remember not too long ago when Marisa (the old station manager and my dear friend) had her last shift. This was also the last show in the old station which was in itself an emotional event. I saw how much Marisa loved the station, the large part in her life that it filled, how much she was going to miss it. Witnessing that made me realized how hard it would be for me and I have been expecting this for some time, but I don’t really know how I am going to handle it.
In other news, I went to a really rockin’ show on Saturday. Dressy Bessy played a show and I scored a sweet interview with Tammy Ealmon. I am still working on transcribing the interview, but once I do it will be posted on this blog. You can check out Dressy Bessy’s myspace here and while you are checking out some links you should mosey on over to the new Kirksville Rocks page.
