I put out the call this morning, opening up the Moose Jaw RV & Marine Text Line to song requests at 693 8000. 

It made me think of my first job in radio back in 1985.  I worked at a country music station, reporting and reading the afternoon news and weather. 

I'd hang around the station at nighttime.  The evening disc jockey was a good guy to sit-in with and learn from. 

The radio station signed-off at midnight, every night with an instrumental rendition of O Canada and, most nights, right around 11:55, this old guy would call the station to request a song.   

"Sure, what song would you like to hear?", my friend would ask. 

"Anything from McDonna", the guy would say. 

At first, the disc jockey tried to explain that we only played country music but that didn't seem to sink in for this guy so, eventually, my friend would just say, "OK, no problem, we'll get that on for you." 

Of course, we never did, and he just kept calling - seemingly happy that a song from McDonna was going to come on the radio. 

I can't make this stuff up.
