1974 was a year of real music discovery for me. Growing up as a teen listening primarily to Top 40 “Boss-Jock” radio, I had no idea what depths of Rock music were out there until I landed my first on-air gig at Vanderbilt’s WRVU on October 5, 1974. It was the first time I ever opened a mic on FM radio. I was a high school senior and scared to death that afternoon! A bit calmer now in my old age, let’s re-live some of those musical memories together this morning! I hope you enjoy our trip back to 1974! — Fred
