The mention of the Stones LP really brought back a fun moment or two in my on-air days.
Long story short, some no mind clown ex-newsman turned PD fired me while I was working on my Commercial Pilot Licence training, and then made the collosal mistake of having me work my last week of notice out on the air.
To say I was hyper-miffed certainly understates my gross disastisfaction with having moved half way across the continent to further my aviation qualifications after having made the heart-wrenching decision to take a Leave Of Absence from CFUN, and then be fired by this broadcasting pipsqueak with a full-blown case of "Napoleon Syndrome."
Sylvia had the hit "Pillow Talk" on the playlist, and the music library contained one of the promotional copies of the Stones' "Sticky Fingers" album with the zipper. With such a large area of cardboard as a sounding board, that zipper resonated very well.
So here's a link to Sylvia and Pillow Talk.
http://youtu.be/CfChsq_gBCA In the last few minutes of my final shift, and with a solid job offer from the competing station down the street, at the 3:23 mark I opened the mike and said ... "Hey Sylvia, come here. I've got something to show you" ..... held the album up to the mike with the pot up, and pulled the zipper down in a lascivious manner. A couple of seconds later, at 3:29 she says .... "Oh, My God!" I made sure to pot up for that segment and make the audio processing do the limiting and clipping.
A memorable moment in my broadcast career, ..... and an example as to why a person should never be fired by a shrimp-dicked little twerp and then still allowed on air for a week.
I did lots of flying in that otherwise fun radio market, gained experience with floats skiis and bush flying, and returned triumphant to CFUN for another couple of years working with the finest radio people on the planet.
