		I say:

	Atlanta's own Now Explosion, the first music video program ever.  I  
went to high school in the neighborhood of the studio where Now  
Explosion was produced.  I used to visit the studio when music videos  
were being shot.  I'm so pissed at myself for having not taken any  
photos of my visits there then in 1969.  But my memory is pretty sharp  
on the subject if there's anything you want to know about it.
	One of the first two "Vee-Jays", Skinny Bobby Harper was a very good  
friend of mine.  I met him at Channel 36 when Now Explosion was in  
production.  The following year, he hired me to assist him on air at  
WIIN radio in Atlanta.  We kept in touch until about 7 years ago when  
Bobby passed on.  He was a caring mentor and a great friend who helped  
me start my career right after high school.
