Thanking those who have thanked me

Whenever I've gotten to choose the music I've played on the radio, I've always appreciated listeners calling in to tell me how much they liked it.  In the spirit of Thanksgiving, thank you to every listener who has made my day--or any other DJ's day--by calling in with these compliments or similar ones:

• "That's a great song you just played.  It should be part of your regular format."
• "Do you choose the music yourself?  You do?  I like what you choose.  Every Saturday, I tune in to your show."
• "I enjoy your show each week.  I wish the rest of (the radio station) sounded like this."
• "You played (a particular band), and now, you're playing (a different band)?  You rock!"
• "Thank you for giving us credit for intelligence and going beyond the same old predictable songs.  You're bringing back a lot of memories." 

It's always gratifying to know that other listeners hear the same striking qualities in songs that you do and that they'll (hopefully) support those artists by buying their music.
