"I used to write down ideas on little scraps of paper," Scott said, " then I would lose them or wash them in my jeans. Somebody suggested I put them in a more concrete form! So that's when I decided to share this lunacy with the radio community, my listeners, & other oldies fanatics. Fun with Oldies, the book was born." Fun with Oldies is a must have for DJ's, radio listeners, or anyone who just loves oldies music. It is a great reference for "On Air" contests, Name That Tune & Trivia Games, or Theme Parties & Promotions.
