"Hi, Windy 100."
"Oh, hi. Could you play that new song from Faith Hill?"
"This Kiss?"
"Yeah, that one!"
"Um, I'm actually playing it right now."
"Oh. Can you play it again?"
"(deep breath)"
Phil Collins, Elton John, and Gloria Estefan dominated Adult Contemporary radio back in the 1980s and '90s, yet have disappeared from modern radio. Seemingly, the only time you ever hear them is at the grocery store or your local CVS. This blog remembers the music, the stories and the quirky characters from my days working in Adult Contemporary radio.

Faith Hill "This Kiss"
The following is a real phone call I received while working at a soft rock radio station in 1998.
"Hi, Windy 100."
"Oh, hi. Could you play that new song from Faith Hill?"
"This Kiss?"
"Yeah, that one!"
"Um, I'm actually playing it right now."
"Oh. Can you play it again?"
"(deep breath)"
