The Experiment on KVOOPA

Fast forward to 1986. Upon being accepted to the University of the Pacific Conservatory's Music Management program, I knew that I would have to work to survive in this environment of mostly trust fund babies, some neglected kids whose parents just wanted them away from home for most of the next few years, and a few lucky, fortunate, and talented kids who happened to find themselves in this new and wacky environment. Standby for more exciting updates from our past!

The Experiment started as a radio music program on 91.3 FM KUOP at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California in the mid 1980s. I was familiar with KUOP, having spent most of the 1980s living in remote Calaveras County with limited media exposure, after living in a saturated entertainment environment in Los Angeles County until 1979. Of course, my interests leaned toward Album Oriented Rock (AOR) and late night AM transistor radio baseball broadcasts from middle America rather than A Prairie Home Companion and All Things Considered, but my pre-teen brain didn't see the connection at the time.  It's been a minute so stay tuned for a continuation of this or most likely a second post to be more blog like. Soon. No, really!
