7th Day of Christmas: I'm the DJ, He's the Wrapper

On this 7th Day of Christmas you're really in for a treat!

In December of our 11th or 12th grade year, Trent Allen and I were asked to do a live radio program for our church on Sheridan's very own KKDI (there's a four letter word I bet you didn't wanna hear again!) The Methodist Church sponsored a program called "The Word in Music" and for this Christmas program they thought they'd try to do it live... and they asked a couple of teenagers... and I have the recording! I've just taken a few 60 second clips of each of us to give you some idea of how the program went. So turn off the Christmas music in the sidebar for a few minutes & enjoy these clips!

This first clip is Aaron telling the story of "Diane" as she awaits the second coming of Christ.

Here is Trent telling of how a pregnancy reminds us of our anticipation of Christ.

Suffice it to say that with all my audio editing capabilities, I had to do nothing to give us those southern accents! Here's Aaron talking about a boy named Jimmy.

During this clip, you'll hear Trent stumble over his script and a few seconds later, he almost loses it while trying not to laugh. I'm sure I wasn't doing anything to encourage this.

This clip is Aaron ending the program and giving the program credits.

And Trent is heard one last time giving a "tag" for the program.

Now, what I've spared you from thus far is the horribly cheesy music they played in between our scripts (remember, this was the 80's). Now, I'm not making fun of the message of these songs, only the medium, which in this case, seemed to get in the way of the message.

I've strung together a little montage featuring 4 or 5 of the songs.

And a final little treat... though I don't have a photo of Trent & me doing this live Christmas program, here is a photo of both of us with my sister, Lisa taken in the late 70's. And though the decorations are a bit scant, they do signify that the pic was taken around Christmas.
