My Morn'n Time with Donnie B

First I want to apologize for no post last week. I was sick and I missed you guys. Good thing I blogged about Mothers Day the week before, because that blog carried us right through the holiday. I got a lot of great feedback about last week’s blog. I didn’t know just how clueless guys were about Mothers day and how to divide their time or gifts. Glad I could help. Any Who! Before CaliRadio came about, LA radio was kinda in limbo. I expressed how great radio was in Los Angeles for long period of time in a previous post. I’m not sure if it was the politics of the radio world or what, but those days are over. The days when you could mash down Crenshaw blasting the FM dial and it sounded like cool mixed tape narrated by Julio G or Theo. That’s why with CaliRadio broadcasting everyday, they gave me a little piece of that back. I don’t know about anyone else but when I listen to the radio, I fall in love with the personality just as much as the music. For a long time now I have been listening to Steve Harvey in the mornings then switching over to my guys DJ Cali Slimm and West West at 11am. That worked for me. Now I am not a board member of CaliRadio or anything, but I am privy to some inside information. I get a call from West last week , and he tells me to skip Steve and tune in to CaliRadio in the morning. All he kept talking about was this guy Donnie B from Dallas. Now my skeptical ass is looking at my phone like “Ok Sure”. LOL I am not a fan of newness. I’m more of a throwback type of chick. I will embrace the newness but it’s gonna take a lot of convincing. So I tune in. and can I tell yall. Donnie B, which I have dubbed “Mr. Already!” is fucking great! He had me cracking up the whole 2 hours. Between the music the news, sports, and to be holding the show down with no in studio supporting cast is amazing to me. It kinda helped that he sounds like my cousins so it doesn’t feel so new to me, but it definitely feels FRESH! He does something that a lot of shows don’t. He will go into details and commentate about sports. Or about the news, and have full on conversations about what’s going on in the world with Dynamite and Doc Do when they call in. When most shows has 60 seconds to do both. That shit drives me crazy! Don’t just give me the score, tell me what the fuck happen. He’s only on for 2 hours but he gives you a ton of music, news, sports, interviews and over all great time listening to him. The most important thing to me is that he is very aware of his listeners. He broadcast from Dallas, but he's aware that he has California listeners, among other places. I have listened to stations in other cities that stream and most aren't. Now I don’t know who or where this Donnie B guy comes from but he knows people! Monday he has a interview with Pimp C’s mom. Coming from a small station first broadcasting from Party Man James’ house to having interviews with someone as beloved and respected like that and people listening to them all over the world says a lot. He’s not preachy. Which Steve Harvey tends to be sometimes. He's real. I honestly think that he’s just like West and Slimm. A regular guy that happens to love music and has an extremely entertaining personality. And I love it when he says “ Already” ! Donnie B, My Southern Brothern, Welcome to the CaliRadio Family! I Salute you! I had cousins here from Dallas last year (who are super excited about Donnie B by the way) and the first thing they asked for when they stepped off the plane was some new great West Coast music. The only thing I had to do was direct them to www.CaliRadioShow.com . Now with Donnie B, CaliRadio has become a one stop shop for entertainment. But hey who am I? That’s one little Cali chick’s opinion. You have to tune in yourself. Just know I have never lead my readers wrong, and I aint gonna start now!
