We interrupt your musical pleasure
The night shift at the radio station was quiet. The “Night Owls”, as they were called, settled in for a night of easy tempo Rock. Davis, or First Frank his aka, sat preparing his records for the long 5 hour shift from midnight to five. Davis was called First Frank as he was the first sound you hear of the new day.
“Morning Bob,” Davis said as his board operator walked in to the studio.
“Morning Davis,” Bob replied.
“Ready for a good night?”
“As always Davis,” Bob smiled.
The phone rang loud, which startled Davis as he had yet to go on the air. “Hello, Radio Rock, First Frank speaking, who’s this?”
Bob couldn’t hear the call, but Davis’ face went from shock to joy. “Yes, yes I’ll be right there…Bye.” Davis hung up the phone.
“What was that about?” Bob asked.
Davis gave the signal for Bob to turn on the mic. “Radio Rock, First Frank here. Sorry to interrupt your musical pleasure, but I have some fantastic news. My wife has just called me and said I’m going to have a baby tonight!”
