So here it is, the first blog. I was going to write a book but figured nobody would read it. Besides, it would take too much time. I can do this, almost as a stream of conscious thing.
This blog will be about my career in radio. I’ve been doing this now for 50 years and, although I’m now semi retired, I still am addicted to that magic box. Of course things have changed over the years and, as you might expect from an old guy, not for the better. I may touch on that later.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with and for some of the best broadcasters in America. I owe so much to so many but if it weren’t for a guy named Tom Francis, I might not have gone anywhere.
I also worked for some scoundrels. And, although I like just about everyone, there’s one person – only one – that is a schmuck (IMO). So stay tuned. All of that and more is coming up. But for now, this is Skip Essick signing off. 
You go, Skip! I will lead the applause.

Looking forward to some good reading. Hopefully,”Schmuck” isn’t my middle name.

Skip..certainly know who you are since your early days in GR radio, but never worked for you, therefore there’s not one thing you can write about me.

Can’t wait. I suspect the all-time use of pseudonyms may be in jeopardy.
