Flirting With Country

In 2010 we posted the following aircheck recording. It is 2011 and the 20th anniversary of this particular show for my alter ego,  Jim O’Neal. Just a bit of insight:  most of the radio staff had been fired and I was now on-air 6 days a week. The station’s boneheaded owner was flipping our religious music format to Country. The change was a closely guarded secret. Monday, February 4, 1991 (the day of the format flip) is on the second half of the recording  which is preceded with O’Neal’s last Saturday Morning Addition Show to feature Southern Gospel music. Download here or press play below.
