When I was 13, I would listen to Alison Steele The Night Bird on WNEW when I was in my bedroom up late, sewing. I loved her smoky voice and the music she played. I wanted to grow up and be a disc jockey just like her. I still think that being a disc jockey would be a cool job. What appeals to me about it is the idea of sharing my love of music, having my solitude, and broadcasting my voice. I had no idea Alison Steele was so famous until I mentioned her name to my neighbor and pal Joe Ferrier who has a record store called Joe's Moldy Oldies and is a disc jockey here in Woonsocket. He said he has LP's of Alison Steele's radio show from back when it was syndicated and people made records!
