Dave Pratt in the Morning, KMLE Country 108...108

I absolutely LOVE Dave Pratt in the Morning on KMLE Country 108 (please read the title in a sing songy voice...it's meant to be the jingle). I have always loved country music, and I'm not sure what it is about Dave Pratt, but it's my favorite morning show. I've even considered switching a few times, but always find my way back to Dave in about two days.

This year, my uncle gave me the greatest early Christmas gift - a copy of Dave Pratt's 30 Years in Radio book. Uncle Arty (the entire world, except my family, calls him Art - but it's my blog, so I can call him whatever I want) listens to Dave Pratt in the Morning as well - although, he's been listening to Dave since he was in high school, back when Dave was a rock DJ. It's sort of a bonding experience to rehash the best parts of the morning show to each other, and we listen at different times, so we usually have different stories.

My early, pre-ordered copy of the book (thank you, thank you) got me into Dave Pratt's launch party. Now by launch party, you would assume there was a party involved...not so. Pretty much it was a glorified book signing, but the entire morning show was there (except Gonzo - otherwise known as Louis Gonzalez - who was at a charity event). I got everyone to sign my book...everyone that is, except Dave Pratt. While I do LOVE Dave Pratt in the morning, I wasn't quite willing to stand in his three hour line on a Saturday to get my book signed. I figured I can go to another book signing that has less people and not wait nearly as long.

Following, are photos of me with my favorite morning show crew...

This is me with Mark Curtis - he is my absolute FAVORITE part of Dave Pratt in the morning...well him and the best of Leno and Letterman. He always brings an interesting perspective from being a news anchor...and he's funny. In addition to being a regular addition to Dave Pratt's show at 7:30 and 8:30 a.m., he's an evening and 10 p.m. anchor for Channel 12.

This is me with Stacey Brooks. She is the female counterpart to Dave Pratt, and her sharpy throwing is always enteratining.

This is me with Shappy. He adds just the right one liners to the show. They usually move down a path of inappropriateness, but they are always entertaining!
