It was Tesla Tuesday

It was a very cool day around the station yesterday as it was Tesla Tuesday. Real to Reel 1 finally out in the stores for everyone to enjoy. They are doing something a little different this time around so when you buy a ticket for the show you get Real to Reel 2 for free. 25 cover songs of some of their favorites. Damn good deal if you ask me.

Tesla took over the studio about 10 a.m. and talked about the release, their shows coming up and played live over the 4 hours in the studio. The guys were very cool and down to earth. Took phone calls from fans...This is a band that definitely has not forgot who put them where they are. Signed autogrpahs and took pictures for fans that came by the studio and waited outside in the 107 degree temps. One of the highlights of the afternoon was watching Frank play "Eruption" live in the studio into Van Halen's "You Really Got Me". I'm telling you it was incredible and dare I say it almost impossible to tell it apart from Mr. Eddie Van Halen.


We might have to keep Jeff close and use him for some fill in work. He was pretty good on the air and so was Frank. Brian would answer the phones as Big Daddy Rabbit. That was hilarious. There were even a few people who called in and didn't even realize they were talking to the band.


Overall it was an awesome afternoon... and the vibe around the station was like old school radio days. Everyone was excited to have the band stop by and hang.

It was certainly a long day for me. I was a little tired, but again Metallica got things going. "Blackened", "Master of Puppets",and "Fight Fire with Fire" was the set for the morning.

As always interesting calls came in for Last Call including some dudes working at Jiffy Lube at 3 a.m. Had some great compliments from listeners as well. I rocked the 2 a.m. hour with some Pat Travers, Kid Rock and even some Kiss with " I Was Made For Lovin' You".

Ended the morning with a double shot of Pink Floyd.

Good stuff.
