Tuesday night I came across a couple sweet cassette tapes while sorting through and trying to archive some of my old audio tapes.
The first one is audio from my days with Lighthouse 21 (KVTT 91.7 and KTPW 89.7) and the second was an air check tape from my KEOM 88.5 days).
What’s so special about The Lighthouse 21 tape is that it has two of my first “real” interviews — the first with John Roberts of Shaded Red and the second with Dan, Charlie and Matt of Jars of Clay.
The interviews took place Sept. 26, 1999 (aka almost 11 years ago – wow!), at an outdoor concert both bands were performing at (along with Plumb) here in the Megaplex.
Now I know there are some who could care less about these tapes — but for me, it was definitely a highlight of my time with Lighthouse 21. Sure, it wasn’t Sting or U2 — but these were fairly big names in the CCM market at the time.
And this first interview with John Roberts led to a follow-up interview with both John and Jamie of Shaded Red later on and led to me bringing them to perform at UMHB while I was in charge of the UMHB Concert Company.
So without further ado… here are my interviews…
