The first time i heard of The Theatre was at a party at my parents home in 2004. My brother mentioned to me that David Marsden was back in Ontario and broadcasting out of Oshawa. As excited as i was at this news, it completely left my consciousness. Too much wine and cognac that night I'm guessing.
Weeks later, i independently found The Theatre by other means (which i can't remember) and realized i was already informed of this by my brother. The universe seemed to conspire to make sure i would listen.
The first time i entered the theatre i was trying real hard to bring in Oshawa's waves from a crappy dipole antenna in Orangeville. I tried many different locations and angles to bring in only a few minutes at a time, but what i heard in those spotty moments was enough to rejuvenate my interest in radio.
Déjà vu! I had lost interest in radio in the late 70's/early 80's, but was brought back into the fold by the awesome stuff i heard on The Spirit of Radio.
So, twice in my life i owe David thanks for my continuing love of music on the radio.
Listening to a song that is broadcast is a very different experience from spinning your own tunes privately.
I think maybe i can feel the collective soul?
