Thoughts ...

Man, blogging is a lot harder than everyone thinks! I've only been updating this blog for about 2 months and it is tough!! Kudos goes to people who can somehow maintain theirs with a new post everyday!

The Bronco home opener is coming up September 20th which means a very busy time for everyone. Sales people are trying to sell stuff, Jon Keen (the voice of the Broncos) is flying around ... and I have to do a ton of new imaging! For the most part its pretty much done, which is relieving.

While all this is going on ... Jon decided to start producing a weekly show for the WHL called WHL this week ... it'll play in all the Dub markets and it is sounding great! This is no bush league show to kill time in someones hockey broadcast ... this is a feature that people will look forward to hearing. (DISCLAIMER: I'm about to get very geeky with radio lingo) I'm particularly interested in it because Jon got one of the best voices in the business to do the voicing for the imaging parts. His name is David Lee ... he's the voice of CBS radio sports and Westwood one ... he's the voice of over 30 stations worldwide ... and a bunch of other stuff I won't get into right now. My point is .. this guy is good!! In my mind there are two things that make a great imaging voice ... depending on what your going for, a naturally deep voice sounds unbelievable in radio!! The other thing is the types of reads they will give you ... some guys get it .. others don't ... and from what David Lee sent us ... he obviously knows what he's doing!! It really was fun to produce that "monstrous voice" !! You'll be able to hear it during Jon's broadcast.

You know what I hate ... when huge bands only play Toronto and Vancouver!! HELLO ... you skipped over three provinces!!!! Jerks.

Winter is almost here ... and I don't know how to clear my underground sprinklers ... things are looking pretty bleak at this point.

The poll that's been on the side of the blog ends today ... the question was: Which new song on the eagle is your favorite? the choices were Metallica - the day that never comes, Disturbed - Inside the Fire, ACDC - Rock N' Roll Train, or Hinder - Use Me?

Looks like Metallica won ... its kinda tough to tell though ... there were only like 3 people who voted.
