DJ Bass

Hey Y'all! Exciting things goin' on over at HotTrax this week. HotTraxSmooth is the featured station on Radio-WindowsMedia (http://www.windowsmedia.com/Mediaguide/Radio) and we've had a great response! I just finished a show over there and I had between 70 and 100 listeners! Wow, now that's a rush! Hopefully, one by one all of our stations will be featured and get the exposure. How cool would that be? By the way, there is a link on our web page (http://www.hottraxradio.com/) where you can log into the HotTraxLive stream if you have dial-up... give it a listen. Specifically, try it out Friday night... 8:00 EST! (Okay, that's my own little plug there! LOL)

Okay, my endeavor to introduce you to all of the awesome DJs of HotTraxRadio brings us around to the Bassman. What can I say about DJ Bass? I could tell you I have a huge crush on him, but that would embarrass me, so I probably shouldn't say that. I can tell you he is the father of DJ Rockit. And I haven't had the opportunity to meet him yet, but I plan on doing so come July in Kansas. Of course, you are all welcomed to come to Kansas and meet everyone... more info on that later! DJ Bass has several shows on HotTraxCounty. Check out the schedule at http://www.hottraxradio.com/HotTraxCountry/ to get the exact times. But I promise... if you like country music, you'll LOVE listenin' to the BassMan.

Readers, meet DJ Bass...

1. Why did you decide to become a DJ?

First of all I never dreamed of being a DJ. Nor did even think about it. Once my son started and turned me on to HotTrax, I was hooked as a listener. Then he came for a visit, and did a show from my home. We got to talking, and the next thing I knew was I was sayin' hello on the air. That was it. Started obsessively downloading country music, and playing with SAM that Matt loaded for me. Now I have swallowed the hook.

2. What is your favorite kind of music?

I do love classic rock. But as everyone knows country moves me the most.

3. What is your favorite thing about being a DJ?

I guess it would have to be the interaction with the staff, friends and family. However, this is my escape away from the craziness of my life. Everyday, just trying to make ends meet in today's world, in a country with no money, and doing construction, has made it tough. DJing gives me escape away from reality, if only for a few hours each week.

4. What do you do when you're not DJing?

Short and sweet. WORK, when I can find it.

5. Tell me something about you that your listeners might not know.

I am not that good with people. Can't hold a conversation for very long, even with my wife. Just thinking of what to say here has been very tough.

6. Anything else you'd like to share?

Since starting with HotTraxRadio, I have made many new friends. Even though I have never met them, I feel that I am a part of something much bigger than just friends. A new family. Thank you, Lizard Boss, for taking a chance on me.
