Carol Perkins: You're on the Air Previous Column: The Perfect School By Carol Perkins Susan and Carol-Unscripted began with a thought. It ended with a ten-year run on 99.1 The Hoss. In between the thought and the end are memories of fun shows, interviews, callers, gifts from fans, and laughs. We are grateful to have been given this opportunity and grateful to our many sponsors who made this possible. The thought occurred when Susan and I participated in the Chamber CD Day in the nineties. I was still teaching because I remember dashing from school to the chamber office to be there at our appointed slot. Unlike the other CD-Day DJs. Susan and I played two songs: "The House of the Rising Sun" and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." Then we talked about Edmonton, Metcalfe County, and memories of growing up here. Much later, in 20013, a show with us talking about the same topics became a reality. Dwayne Forbes had bought the radio station and moved it to Horse Cave. He aimed to ensure this station was still a Metcalfe County Station and asked us to promote it. For several years, we happily drove to Horse Cave, did our show, ate lunch, and enjoyed the day. Our first guests were the Headhunters (Greg, Richard, and Fred). When David Froggett bought the station and moved it back to Edmonton, we continued. Over the years, we have interviewed hundreds and hundreds of guests. I mentioned to Susan that we had never had a boring guest, and she agreed. Some of our guests were call-ins from around the area. We were never sure who was listening or where they lived unless we had people to call us. We even had a trucker who drove by the station periodically and honked his horn, saying "hello." The pie man brought us pecan pies and Danny Conrad brought us persimmons and papayas. We have learned home remedies and names of remote places in our county. Our show focused on providing an hour of pure chat between two old friends when we were on the air, just the two of us, and interviewing guests, each with a wonderful story whenever we could entice someone to join us. After each show, we continued to have lunch. We continued to show up every Tuesday without missing too many times. We continued to talk about whatever was on Susan's "little pieces of paper" and whatever tidbits I brought to the microphone. However, it was time to drop the mic. Time to know when the hour had come for us to retire from an adventure that had left us wondering how lucky we were to have had this chance. Thanks for your support and for showing us the love that we have never taken for granted in this town Susan lovingly refers to as "Paradise." You can contact Carol at carolperkins06@gmail.com.
