Love and Radio

You always here that when your young you do many stupid things, some you can forget and other will stay with you for life. My life as a store owner, club DJ, and radio disc Jockey was quickly becoming a whirlwind of a adventure and I was not sure how I would handle all the excitement. Right before I left the record store in Lincoln Mall I met a women who was 10 years older than me that was a regular customer in my record store her name was Toni. Toni worked in JC Penny and at times would spend her lunch break in my store looking through music. Quickly we became friends and soon after we started to date and even though we were 10 years apart in age we found common ground in our music and our love for the outdoors. She was the first women I had ever dated who had her own place and even though she did not drive she always found a way to meet me where ever I was. I can remember her cooking some wonderful dinners and spending time talking with my father and she also had a love for grape kool aid such as I did. When my career at WJPC started to take off I found myself curious about all the freaky women who began to call me on the air and even though I had strong feelings for Toni I just felt that maybe the grass was greener on the other side ( NOT)In the months fallowing I found myself blowing off the dinners she had fixed just for me and our VCR movie dates because I wanted to stay out late and kick it. One afternoon Toni and I went to the store to get a few things for dinner and I can remember leaving my wallet in my car Toni told me to continue shopping and she would go get my wallet from the car. I soon realized that 15 minutes had went by and she had not returned so I went out to see what was keeping her and there she was sitting on my car looking at a picture of me and some HOOCHIE wrapped up all over me. It was a picture that I had taken at the club the night before and I had left it in my glove compartment. Toni did not say much she just cried and walked away. I knew I was wrong and even with her being about 3 miles from her home she turned her back on me and walked home. I live with that vision everyday of my life I can see her walking through the parking lot her heart broken and her feelings betrayed. Turns out the women I took the picture with was complete loser and the lesson I had to learn broke the heart of a wonderful women. I saw her about three years later and I told her how wrong I was and that I hope who ever she dates she is as good to him as she was to me. I have not seen her in years and if by some reason she reads this I hope she understands that I was young and STUPID and I hope she is happy. in 1994 i met a women who had me in awe as soon as I saw her she was just like I like them light, bright and sexy. I met her at a reggae party at Union Hall on the south side she was about six feet tall about 175lb with a body of a Goddess and the site of her just made me crazy she was a fan of Luke and loved to dance very sexy with that said the sad thing about our relationship was the fact she was from the projects and she never thought I took her serious because I lived in the suburbs. I can remember the first time she came out to the suburbs it was almost a culture shock and she just felt we came from two different worlds she walked into my parents home and my father almost passed out as she wore some very tall boots with a white leather outfit. She was the first person I told of my job with WGCI and we had dinner at a small restaurant on the north side I always loved her but for some reason we could not see our way to true love. We even took a road trip to Nashville TN when I bought my new truck and I still remember us eating in the waffle house. Today she lives in Florida with her husband and family and last I herd she was doing fine but for as short as our relationship was I will always remember how she taught me that some of the most wonderful,loving, and loyal people in the world maybe where you least expect them and to always keep a open mind. 1994 quickly became 1995 and the end of WJPC 950 AM………….

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER 12AM

To say my life is BUSY is a understatement with my own record store, Club Ultimate, and the radio I was determined to become successful in the music industry. As I said my reason for getting into radio was for three things 1 To get FREE stuff 2 To Party all the time and 3 To meet RICK JAMES. Working from 12am to 6am on WJPC became a adventure and I quickly learned that meeting women off of the request line was a NO NO! Let me just say this about women I learned that they will tell you what they think you should know and that’s it. One night a women called me about 2am and told me how much she enjoyed my voice and how I sound like I would be fun to hang out with and at 22 i really wanted to find out what she was on. I asked her what her name was and she said call me “WET”…..uh oh. Next I asked her about herself and she said that she was 5,5 135, hazel eyes,light skinned, nice legs, and shoulder length hair. WELL DAMM its VANESSA WILLIAMS wow that’s my type everything I like in a women when can we meet. Wet told me that when I got off Thursday night to meet her at her house for breakfast and a full body massage and at 22 i was like HELLLLLL YEA. Thursday came and so did 6am and as the sun was coming up my Escort Gt was headed for Dolton IL. I found the house, my hormones were racing  I knew it was going to be on and suddenly the door opened…

DAMMMMMMMMMMMMM there she was  5,5 135, hazel eyes,light skinned, nice legs, and shoulder length hair BUT one of those eyes was a lazy eye and that skin was VERY bad she was missing two front teeth and asleep on the couch behind her was 1   2     3   4    5    6    kids oh yea two were her sisters who was a sleep in the other room but you have to admit SHE DID NOT LIE TO ME SHE JUST TOLD ME WHAT SHE THOUGHT I NEEDED TO KNOW. With her breath smelling of weed she asked me would I like a bath and she could not wait to see what I was about. NOW remember there was no my space or face book back then and there wasn’t even camera phones so I had to take her word. What was I going to do there was noooooooo WAY I was going to take a bath with this women…think……….think…………..THINK……AHHH……BEEP BEEP BEEP….BEEP BEEP BEEP…my pager was going off ” sorry baby I have to go back to the station I cant stay” with that said Ms WET quickly became a phone friend and I never saw her in person again ( i know that’s mean but DAMM I was 22) but I just thought dam one bad experience I can try again and that next try came by a women who’s name was THICK AND JUICY. TROUBLE!!!! I figured this time we I would not meet her at her home but at the Club on Friday night. I wont tell you the shit this women talked on a nightly bases but I just knew I was about to meet Angel Kelly but one Friday my friends and I were at Club Ultimate and a women in a dark green dress and black stockings walked up into the DJ booth and said hey DJ ” Am I Thick enough for you” DAMMMMMMM the truth was her breath told me before I herd her words and being the Star Wars fan I am I though it was somebody from Jabba The Huts Palace.OK again she was nice but she was not who she said she was from a physical stand point. All I could think if women were this bold on this little AM station what in the world is it like if I worked on a BIG FM station. And what is a real STALKER at 22 I did not have a clue but by 32 I had my court orders. 

OK I AM BACK ON IT!!! PLEASE PASS THE WORD.

After weeks of working a non stop schedule I decided as much as I loved the record store I had to let it go and chase my ultimate goal and that was to be on the radio. I said goodbye to Record Town and hello to the nightlife and I quickly found myself as the host of Exotic Tuesday’s and I was the DJ for Thursday,Friday and Saturday night. Club Ultimate on Tuesday night was a experience. We basically split the club into two parts with women on one side and men on the other and brought in some of the hottest female and male exotic entertainment from around Chicago. Most of the time if you did not get there by 11pm you could not get into the club. I can remember rapper’s, ball players, and singers in the club on a regular on that night from Luke to Arron Hall everybody knew that Tuesday night was out of control. I give the dancers credit back then because they really put on a good show and it did not have to be nasty or tasteless for you to enjoy it and for the most part everybody behaved themselves and the night went very smooth. Most of the time when I got off from the club at 2am I would go back to WJPC and record music for my weekend show it was there that a DJ named El Tranzel showed me how to edit calls and run a show with precision. In the weeks to come we became really good friends and he started he started to hang out with me at the club. One night when I was spinning at the club and I was just getting stupid on the box El Tranzel told the security guards ‘ He don’t get busy he gets DIZZY ‘ soooooooo soon after that the security guards started calling me DIZZY but often times the music was so loud you would here them yell out HEY DIZZ!! and that is how I became the DIZZ! Soon I was offered a shot to do overnight radio on WJPC from 12am to 6am on Wednesday and Thursday along with my Saturday midday show. A month later I was asked about doing a dance hall show on from 2pm to 6pm on Sunday afternoons and even though my Dance Hall knowledge was limited I decided to take the show and I found myself hanging out on the North side and different Dance Hall music stores (BELL JAM) to gain the knowledge I needed to give Chicago and good Sunday afternoon show. To this day I cant remember her name but I met a stunning Jamaican women when I was out record shopping that put me up on so much to this day I owe her for opening my ears to so many good artist. She lived in Harvey and we hung out for a quick minute before I just lost contact with her. So now I was on the air hosting to overnight shows and Saturday midday show a Sunday Dance Hall show and I was mixing live on air Friday night along with Dj ing four nights a week at club Ultimate. WHEWWWWW but I was not done I was asked how I felt about going in as a 50% partner in a Record Store. I loved my time at the record store but I just found myself to busy to be there 50 hours a week BUT to own a record store might not be so bad so I got my money together and invested in what would become THE RAP HOUSE 1709 E 87TH street in Chicago. It was great it was time House music and Rap music were exploding and with the store so close to CVS High School the store was always full of kids looking for hot music and because I worked on WJPC I had artist like BOSS,MC BREED,MC EIHT, and Salt and Peppa to come hang out at the store. I wish I had the energy today that I had back then because I don’t even know how I kept up that pace and by the weeks it only got more stressful. At 22 years old a business owner and a on air DJ had its perks but it also had its drama and it was the drama that caused me to lose a wonderful women and friend just because I was not ready and at the same time it introduced me to some of the wildest women and freaks I had ever met…..YEA I’M GOING TO TELL.
