Event Recap Chat with Big 103 Orlando

[wbrzdb]

People actually enjoyed it because it lifted spirits up

 

[Jeff Westover]

What about you personally? Where do your Christmas music leanings...uh, lean?

 

[Jeff Westover]

My kids call me a freak because my Christmas listening can go from Mozart's Sleigh Ride to Elvis in a heartbeat

 

[Jordan Rivers]

That's not the only reason they call you a freak

 

[MerryCarey]

Sounds normal to me.

 

[wbrzdb]

I like the old songs from bing to even the newer!

 

[Jeff Westover]

Who would be newer that you like?

 

[wbrzdb]

we strategically add music into the playlist and have a few different categories of how we schedule

 

[Jordan Rivers]

How many people does it take to run these two stations?

 

[wbrzdb]

I actually run them haha. I like some of the newer Christian artists as well and I have an independent artist in rotation too

 

[Jeff Westover]

Yeah, that was my next question, whether you get indie artists who reach out to you

 

[Jeff Westover]

In our discussions of Christmas in July about music, podcasts and radio stations we have had a lot of talk about indie artists

 

[wbrzdb]

We carefully listen to them and go from there! We have a local artist from when I was in Dayton. His name is Rick Lee James and he did a song called Advent Hymn! It is amazing

 

[Jeff Westover]

I don't know the ins and outs of what it must be like to be an indie artist

 

[Jeff Westover]

But I understand it is some real work to get the exposure needed to break thru

 

[MerryCarey]

It would be a great chat subject.

 

[Jeff Westover]

Do you do interviews ?

 

[wbrzdb]

I have before!

 

[Jeff Westover]

@MerryCarey our chat last night with Jim Devers of @Stapesblog was on this

 

[Jeff Westover]

He showed us some fantastic stuff
