Sounds from the past

You know how certain aromas can trigger memories? Well lately, a lot of sounds have been reminding me of old times.

I listen to a lot of Satellite Radio throughout the week and one of my favorite stations is called "Coffee House". It's a lot like Jam 88.3 in its early days; light pop, acoustic with lost of indie music. There's an announcer there that sounds almost exactly like Harry, one of my co-DJs during the station's early days.

Recently I also discovered that the animation company Harmony Gold posted their hit 80's seris Robotech on Youtube and Hulu. While watching episodes with my son, I noticed that the voice of the main character Lisa Hayes sounds exactly like Claudine, another one of Jam 88.3's first announcers.

I get so nostalgic when I listen "Coffee House" or watch episodes of "Macross", the voices of Harry and Claudine just take me back to those good old days. I miss the times, hanging out with with the first batch of Jam DJs. We launched the station over six year ago. How time flies.
