2:29
and we'll do that a little bit later on. Also, we have
2:31
our adoptmu Police s Pet of the Week standing by with that. Hannah's on
2:35
vacation this week. We have Angie that's going to be doing that segment for
2:38
us today. We're gonna get the Angie here in just a couple of them
2:40
moments. A little bit controversy. We don't like to get a lot of
2:44
controversial things, but about art walking Charleston and the lack of alcohol there,
2:47
and I'm gonna explain why. I have one of the business owners who's got
2:51
some questions about that. We're gonna talk to him a little bit later on.
2:53
But I want to bring in Chris Lawrence right now. I mentioned high
2:54
school football actually at the time that I shouldn't have mentioned high school football.
2:59
Now we could talk school football. Good morning, Chris, how were good
3:00
morning? I was gonna say, you're not leaving because I'm not hosting another
3:04
hour here. I've been in here long enough. Well, you had a
3:07
difficult morning, you and carry this morning and all the all the announcers in
3:09
the building here with with this weather situation. I was driving in it from
3:13
Tay's Valley. It was not fun this morning, and the eas was just
3:15
blowing up. So we apologized for that. But and we're trying to keep
3:19
you informed, and the National Weather Service is trying to keep you informed as
3:23
well, and sometimes they conflict with what we're all trying to do here.
3:25
So that's that was a situation this morning. And thankfully you got here,
3:30
okay. Yeah. Well, and there were several accidents this morning and out
3:34
a lot of people didn't get sixty four okay. I mean I drove right
3:36
by one that had just happened on sixty four East right around the Saint Alban's
3:40
exit. There was one of mccorko Matros had everything fouled up. So it
3:45
is going to look a little bit better as the day goes on. They
3:46
tell us. As far as the weather goes. All right, let's talk
3:49
some high school football last night. You and Jared Lewis started early with the
3:52
War on thirty four last night. That turned out to be not that much
3:55
of a war last night. Well, I mean it was. It was
3:58
obvious that Winfield was outmatched. Hurricane's got a good team, obviously, and
4:01
they took it to him pretty good by the second half. Both teams called
4:06
off the dogs and put in their subs and got a lot of quality,
4:10
quality minutes for those guys in the game there in the third quarter. But
4:14
I wouldn't fred if I was Winfield. I mean, they don't have That's
4:16
not the kind of competition they need to compete against because they're at Class double
4:19
A school. They got romped pretty good last night, but they come back
4:24
next weekend. They got Herbert Hoover. That's one that they really need to
4:26
match up with. So we'll see how that goes. And by the way,
4:29
we'll have that game on five a WCHS next Friday night. But tonight
4:32
it's Polka at Nitro with another close rivalry game only separated by a couple of
4:38
miles there and the Dots will travel to Underwood Field will be on the air
4:41
at six thirty tonight is they get a seven o'clock kick there at Nitro all
4:45
right, And of course after the games stick around for Fred Perr Singer and
4:48
Dave Jacquelin and the crew. They're twenty second year getting people caught up on
4:53
what's going on. And I love the show the high School Game next show
4:56
because you literally go all over the state and you get the different announcers and
4:59
our orders. Joe Brocado is going to be eighteen different places night, as
5:02
Joe always is so great time of year. It's a really extremely unique show
5:06
that's unique to West Virginia. I don't know anywhere else in the country that
5:10
you could do a show like that with that much enthusiasm and that much information
5:14
that people care about. So it's it's one of the most listened to shows
5:16
we have on the network. What are we covering on your Outdoor show tomorrow
5:18
morning, Well, believe it or not, Dave, we're almost a hunting
5:21
season September one. September first represents the first hunting of the year and that's
5:27
when the Morning Dove season will open in the early Canada goose season, so
5:30
we'll be talking about shooting doves and geese tomorrow and on the third, bear
5:34
hunting starts. The early bear season gets started down in the down in your
5:38
country, the four bow hunting only counties. Okay, we'll have an early
5:41
bear season, so we'll talk to Colin Carpenter about that, and Mike Peters
5:46
from the DNR with about the bird hunting there. So all right, gonna
5:48
be at shot. Not to be confused with Robert L. Peters, it'll
5:53
be Mike Peters, a show chock full of information for outdoors folks. Tomorrow
5:59
morning eight is Jared with you tonight. Jared's permanent part of the crew.
6:02
In fact, Jared and I not not that you'll hear it here, but
6:05
Jared and I are going tomorrow over to Ironton, Ohio to call the Martinsburg
6:10
Clarkson, North Canada game. They're playing that in Ironton Arnton. Is that
6:14
how you say? Yeah, if you're from there, it's aren't Martin Well
6:16
whatever, I went over and checked out the I check out the stadium the
6:19
other day. What a cool place, Tanks stadium. Well, and there's
6:23
so much history with that stadium too, I mean, because that's I mean,
6:25
if you go, but if just we won't get into it now.
6:28
Google the history of football and Ironton, Ohio. It's it's amazing. It
6:30
was. I was shocked when I went over there. Just a cool place,
6:33
all right, Chris, we'll be lasting man, appreciate it. You
6:35
razy, all right, thanks a lot. JK. That's Chris Lawrence.
6:39
Hey Chris Man. It's great to meet you. And I used to know
6:42
a guy that lived in Logan that used to go bear hunting with a switch.
6:45
Yeah. Well enough about my mother. But but anyway, let's speaking
6:48
of animals, not my mother. I'm talking about bears and things like.
6:53
Let's sub bring in Angie Gillow water from the Canal Charleston Main Association with this
6:56
week's Adopt Me Please Pet of the Week. Angie, Good morning, Good
7:00
morning. How are you. I am doing fine. You got big shoes
7:02
to fill this week. You know, Hannah has become quite the star on
7:05
the show. She's been doing it Provide the last year and a half.
7:08
She she's got her own personalized text questions waiting on her normally when she gets
7:13
here. Oh really, I know. She informed me that this was this
7:16
was an event. It is. Indeed, my co host this week is
7:20
JK, the DJ Joe Kerner, So he's going to be in here with
7:25
me as well. So well, it's nice to meet Ji. Looks like
7:30
a handsome young man and yeah, Ozzie is our pet of the Week this
7:33
weekend. As always. The pictures posted on Dave Island Radio and Facebook and
7:38
at Dave A seventy on X that's the artist formerly known as twitter Angie tell
7:42
us all about Ozzie. So Ossie came to our shelter as a stray back
7:48
in April. He came to us and he is still waiting on his home.
7:54
All of our staff are not sure why, because he is great with
7:58
other dogs, he's great kids, and we are pretty sure that he would
8:01
be fine with cats. He's just a really playful, sweet sweet dog that's
8:07
just waiting on someone to come and uh make him a happy home. So
8:13
he's a year old forty three pounds, so he's the perfect medium sized dog
8:18
and a year old, he still has like all the good qualities of a
8:22
puppy, meaning he's pretty impressionable. He learns quickly, but he doesn't have
8:28
all the bad qualities of a puppy, like using the bathroom inside the house,
8:31
chewing up things, and a quick question, is there any documentation of
8:37
by the way, I'm sorry, Angie, Yes, okay, I got
8:39
it right now, Thank you for the correction. Anyways, there any documentation
8:43
that Aussie barks at the moon? There is not so that there. This
8:50
is why we don't put him on the air very often. Angie's jokes like
8:54
that, but as I actually pretty pretty clever. Most a dad joke.
8:56
It was almost dad joke. Any what kind of dog Azzy is Aie?
9:03
Not really sure. He has like all the qualities. He's not the size
9:07
of a husky, similar fur as a husky, got the curly tail.
9:11
However, he has really floppy ears, so I would guess he's probably got
9:16
husky in his lineage. But whenever it comes to mixed freeze, I always
9:22
say they're whatever you wanted, whatever you want. And it was kind of
9:24
a running joke here on the show because there for a while with Hannah and
9:30
you know, I love Hannah didat that every week show he said, well,
9:31
he may have some boxer in him, and it became to the point
9:35
that people were texting the show when we'd have a cat on the show,
9:37
Let's say the cat may have some boxer in him. We don't know,
9:41
We don't know, but he's a beautiful dog and he'd make a great family
9:45
patt age. You said, he meet him, sized, perfect size,
9:46
loves kids, loves other dogs, very sweet dog, lots of personality.
9:52
No indication that he would not like cats, but you can you can test
9:54
that out and she understand you. Guys are gonna be out of about tomorrow
9:58
at pet out at South Ridge and also at Liberty Square and Tay's Valley from
10:03
noon to four a. You're gonna have some great looking animals out there that
10:05
are eager to join our listeners homes. Correct, We certainly are. We're
10:11
hoping to you take Aussie with us. That way we can get him out
10:13
of the shelter as soon as possible. But we will be at both Tay's
10:18
Valley and South Ridge tetco with adoptable puts and trying to get them all into
10:22
homes from noon to four. I wish I wasn't allergic. Yeah, that
10:26
was the first thing with JK when I lined him up to come into guest
10:30
Hosts this week, Angie, He's said, now do the animals come in
10:33
studio because I'm quite allergic. So do we have any any animal? Do
10:37
you have any goldfish or anything up there? And we can get for for
10:39
JK to kind of help him out a little bit. We unfortunately do not,
10:43
but if we do have any, I'll be sure to tell him about
10:46
let you know. Thank you so much. Also, we're just a few
10:50
weeks away from from Kegs and Canines coming up at the Red Carpet Lounge.
10:54
I was reading about that last night, do you guys? It's posted on
10:58
your Facebook page. That's always a big event as well. Yes, and
11:01
it is a fun and easy way to support Shelter Pet because all you have
11:05
to do is purchase a ticket. You don't have to dress up fancy or
11:09
anything like that. All you have to do is come out and drink beer
11:11
and is probably the easiest way to support Shelter that beer and dogs. What
11:16
more could you want again? I mean you couldn't. You couldn't ask for
11:20
anything more than that. Again, all that information is available under your guys
11:22
a Facebook page. Angie, you did a great job subbing for Hannah,
11:26
so nice to know the show's in good hands. What Hannah's not here,
11:30
We'll talk to you soon, Angie. Thanks a lot, nice to meet
11:31
you, Angie. That's our good friend, Angie Gillawater, new friend,
11:35
Angie Gillenwater from the from the shelter there the canal, Charleston. You mean
11:41
association with our adotmi please pet of the week, JK. A good looking
11:45
critter there, that's for sure. Man, good looking pup. Yeah,
11:48
now again. Ozzie's a dog's name. He's a one year old male about
11:50
forty three pounds or so, perfect, as Angie said, medium sized dog.
11:56
He was brought in as a stray from the Cabin Creek area. Generally
12:01
speaking, loves kids, loves other dogs, sweet dog, lots of personality.
12:05
Don't know yet how he feels about cats, but she says there's absolutely
12:09
zero red flags with Ozzie to indicate that he would not get along with cats
12:15
or any other creatures in the house. And always it always baffles me when
12:20
they come. Mean, you know, all animals in my eyes are perfect.
12:22
I mean, it's just who I am. I not so much on
12:24
people, but I like animals. And when they have these dogs and cats
12:30
in some cases to JK, I look at him and I'm like, how's
12:33
this dog still in the shelter? Yeah? Yeah, somebody should have snatched
12:37
them up already for sure. Yeah, and hopefully they will so again.
12:39
The dog is available at the Canal Charleston Humane Association. You can see Ozzie's
12:43
picture on my Facebook pages Dave Allen Radio or also on the Artists formerly known
12:48
as Twitter now known as X. The dog's pictures posted there. And if
12:52
we don't get the dog adopted today, they're gonna be out on the road
12:56
tomorrow. The shelter folks will be at a couple of area pet code locations.
13:01
One is at South Ridge and the other at Liberty Square and Tay's Valley
13:03
from noon to four. And if we don't get Ozzie adopted today, for
13:07
what I understand, they are going to have Ozzie on the Ozzie's on the
13:09
road tomorrow, maybe drinking beer next week. Yeah, there you go.
13:13
It may possibly he'll be at the Red Carpet for Kegs and canines on September
13:18
of the eighth. Hey, if you're looking for something to do for the
13:20
whole family this entire weekend, you may want to check out the Putnam Farmer's
13:24
Market. Now they do that every Saturday from nine am until noon. It's
13:28
at the lot next to the RBS an Exon and Route thirty four just off
13:30
the Tay's Valley exit of sixty four, and tomorrow is Kid's day out there.
13:35
Each kid that comes out with an adult it's going to get four dollars
13:41
and tokens to buy whatever products that they would like. So what could you
13:45
get for four bucks these days? Well, well, I guess I'll find
13:48
out. They do a great job with a farmer's market. So if you
13:50
get a chance, I usually try to stop buy every week. It's in
13:52
my neighborhood, So get a chance, you may want to stop buy and
13:54
check it out tomorrow. And that's again just take that coming off by sixty
13:58
four from Charleston, just takes the Tay's Valley exit. Hang it right.
14:00
It's next to area thirty four and the Armies in the Exon there in that
14:03
big field next to Billy Sunday. So I've given you all the descriptors I
14:07
can, so you should be a well done. You should be able to
14:09
find it. JK, the DJ, is my guest host this week.
14:13
We're going to get to know JK a little bit better a little bit later
14:16
on in the shows. It will also be playing ten questions. That's coming
14:20
up a little bit later on. We've also got I don't want to say
14:22
controversy, because we don't do controversy on Friday's Joe. We don't try to
14:26
avoid it. But what we are going to do is there is some chatter,
14:31
if you will, about art Walk in Charleston, and I saw a
14:33
lot of social media post about it this week saying that for years people have
14:37
enjoyed art Walk and they've had a glass of wine and well apparently there's been
14:41
some changes with that. And one of the business owners has been very vocal
14:45
about this is Chuck Hampshire. And Chuck Hampshire is going to join us when
14:48
we come back right after this. Five eighty Live is presented and parted by

been one of the most popular events for some time here in Charleston and for
18:33
business owners and people from not only in the city but also from outside of
18:36
the city that come in. But there's been a few business owners and people
18:41
that attend that were a little upset because they've been told that businesses can no
18:45
longer have alcohol there. Now I'm not talking about restaurants or bars. I'm
18:48

Charleson, we're gonna talk about that a little bit, like So Juicy said,
19:37
retro. You got him, You got his attention, all right,
19:40
So give us the history behind art Walk. You've been involved in it for
19:42
a long time. Been been a little long time. Our art Walk started
19:45
a little over twenty years ago. Actually it was Callen mcjunkin and a couple
19:49
of small galleries tailored books was there started it and initially it was very exclusive.
19:56
It actually the galleries had to have one of a kind original art.
20:00
It was just a handful of places. Art Emporium moved into downtown. They
20:04
joined if we came in shortly thereafter, about eighteen nineteen years ago. It
20:10
grew. It stayed stabled about eight or ten venues for a good number of
20:14
years. And what exactly is it that goes on at art Well, Well,
20:17
it's a self guided tour of downtown. Essentially, the shop's open up.
20:21
There's generally different art exhibits that are brought in special for that or sometimes
20:26
specials in the store if they're not even necessarily art related. One of the
20:30
changes that's happened over the years is it was at one time entirely focused on
20:34
just the art related businesses, right, it actually has expanded way beyond that,
20:38
and that's been a very good thing, so that virtually all businesses and
20:41
what we've seen is there's hardly a business downtown that doesn't have some art in
20:45
it. Even even the smaller shops are bringing in a small local artist and
20:49
it makes for a real vibrant art community down right. You see all the
20:52
artists get additional exposure a lot more than what used to be. That's for
20:56
sure, absolutely absolutely. Now we've had some you know, it's a moving
21:00
target of of you know, in twenty years, we've seen places come and
21:03
go, the art Walk grow and shrink. There was a it was primarily
21:08
managed by the Charleston Area Alliance up until twenty nineteen. At that time,
21:14
downtown Business has decided we wanted to take it on ourselves and really to open
21:19
it up. That was really to bring in more venues and allow more people
21:22
ton because the Alliance wanted only their members to be part of ourt walking,
21:26
and so there was a bit of conflict. But we've worked that out.
21:30
But then COVID hit, Yeah, and COVID was just a nightmare and for
21:34
the shops downtown, everything was closed. Coming back from COVID was a struggle.
21:40
In twenty one, we we scheduled art walks, then we had a
21:44
we had a couple then there was a big outbreak again. Actually I think
21:47
it was in October November big we canceled art walking, partnered with health Right
21:52
and did a vaccination clinic in the town that night instead of doing art walk.
21:57
When twenty two came, we began to get a little more into the
22:00
stride and it felt a little better. Towards the end of twenty two is
22:04
when we began to find out about this alcohol issue, which we'll get into
22:07
you. And that's why that I have you here on the show today as
22:10
best I understand, and if I'm wrong, you can tell me the various
22:14
businesses like yours and others, you would offer people cocktails they if they if
22:18
they chose to take from I say cocktails is a bit of a stretch.
22:21
I think, you know, wine, some of them did some beer,
22:23
so okay, wine and beer, and it was it wasn't all of them,
22:26
It wasn't even all the time. And also this is something that doesn't
22:30
necessarily happen gest during our walk you know. I know in my shop we
22:33
do we do estate liquidations. We did a real high end jewelry estate liquidation
22:37
once. We had pieces from the twenties and thirties and it was a high
22:41
end clientail we brought in. We brought him in an afternoon. We served
22:45
him champagne and mimosis, because that's that's part of the part of the vibe
22:48
that gets it, gets it going, get him drunk and telling to buy
22:52
I can't. It certainly helps getting getting that Amax cart out of the wall
22:56
if he is going to admit it. That's what I liked about. Well,
23:00
so we're not selling necessities, we're selling things that want and desire,
23:03
disposable income doesn't it doesn't help, it doesn't hurt. Okay, So what
23:07
happened? What happened? What actually it was? After years of this?
23:11
I mean I've I've been involved in Arn't things in Charleston for forty years and
23:15
I've seen this happen. That's you know, a few bottles of wine are
23:18
put out, you know, wine and cheese cubes have been part of art
23:21
openings and exhibits for Timmy Kernel. Last fall, one of the venues was
23:26
going to have an anniversary and posted on Facebook that come share a glass of
23:32
Bubbly with us to celebrate Toaster fifteen years and the ABC came in and said,
23:37
now you cannot do this. Uh if you serve here, your your
23:41
business license could be in jeopardy. You could be subject to fines. The
23:45
Downtown Charleston Association got involved and had some discussions with the ABC. Essentially let
23:51
us ride out. Twenty two said, well, my petition, but twenty
23:55
three you can no longer serve unless you're a licensed, licensed business. We're
23:59
having a little problems figuring out one what kind of license we would we would
24:03
have. What we've been suggested to us is one cost prohibitive, and and
24:07
and and and also there's even actually one that was suggested to us. One
24:11
of the requirements is you can't give it away. You can sell a lot
24:15
of the ABC's set for sell sales, not necessarily for forgiving away. You
24:21
know, we're not talking about Look, we're not talking about big blowout parties.
24:23
We're talking about three or four bottles of wine out for thirty or forty
24:26
people wandering through a shop. Have you have you had so? So you've
24:30
done this all this time, and now somebody came in and said, said,
24:34
I was doing a little research on this on my own last night,
24:37
Chuck, and what I was able to ascertain was that it looks like there
24:41
may have been a change in legislation that that you could no longer do this.
24:45
Well, there's there, there's been, And that's one of the things
24:48
when the post that kind of got all this gout I put up last week
24:52
to deal with some information that was bad out there. You know, we
24:56
came into we got this from the ABC. We kind of said, Okay,
24:59
we're gon we're gonna I have to look at this and we're gonna have
25:00
to figure it out. We've had some discussions. We didn't make it a
25:03
quite frankly, a front burner priority because we also we know there was legislation
25:10
has has been passed this year that's going to allow for I think it's a
25:12
different acronym here, but it's Dora in Ohio, door in Ohio. It's
25:18
yeah, Actually, Huntington's just passed that. Is it Peter or so it's
25:21
a different it's a differently it's I think it's poda. It's it's some public
25:26
outdoor drinking area or something like that. Yeah, and what the and so
25:30
the city will be able to set establish some boundaries and some footprints of that.
25:34
It's unclear of how that's going to impact our our ability to serve if
25:41
that occurs. Uh, it certainly might. If we're within that zone,
25:44
folks would be able to walk into our store carrying it, But aren't they
25:48
My reading of that right now is they'd have to buy still buy from a
25:49
licensed facility so they can buy a positive points and maybe be able to walk
25:55
around the corner in my place with it. And I saw, I'm like
25:57
you checking. The first time I saw my wife and I were in we
26:00
were actually in Westerville is where we were outside Columbus, and we kept seeing
26:03
these signs that said Dora, and I was like, Who's Dora? You
26:07
know what the heck is going on here? And then we kind of figured
26:10
out that that's what it was and what they do there is in order to
26:12
participate, as you said, you mentioned a cup or glass or whatever.
26:15
You you basically purchased one and then you could go to the different businesses and
26:21
you could, you know, visit this art place or that art place or
26:23
do whatever. But they knew that you were doing it right because you had
26:26
that particular cup with the logo that kept the average guy like our producer Hollywood,
26:32
Jeff Petty, from walking down the street drinking a Bata Boon's farm or
26:34
something. You know, that that kept him from doing subsolutely. Absolutely so
26:38
if you talked to the ABC, We've talked. We've talked to the ABC
26:41
where and just really we don't see a fit for a license for us.
26:45
It's kind of where we are. So I think there's a couple one.
26:48
We're gonna be working this process with the city. Yeah, for the door
26:52
and see how that's going to impact, you know, as far as we
26:55
kind of went into twenty three cent, Okay, this is the deal with
26:57
ABC. We didn't necessarily a huge announcement come to art Walk. There's no
27:02
booze anymore, because that's not the best marketing strategy in the world. But
27:07
it's quietly gotten out and what we saw was a lot of rumors and and
27:10
crazy reasons for why this happened. It's it's ultimately it's bureaucrats being bureaucrats and
27:15
uh, and we've got to figure out the pieces of this. So we're
27:18
going to work through the city to see how this works with the zone and
27:22
then also potentially may need to go to the legislature. Some states have what
27:25
they call a gallery license. Maryland has this for one hundred dollars a year.
27:30
You get a license. You can serve for fifteen days fifteen days out
27:33
of the year. You just notify the ABC here's when it is, and
27:36
you can do a certain It would be for special events, it would be
27:38
for special events. It's it's limited based on square Okay, so you couldn't
27:41
walk in like for example, you could do it when you were doing art
27:45
walk. But if I walk in on a Wednesday afternoon afternoon at three o'clock
27:48
and say give me an old fashioned well you don't do cocktails, but give
27:51
me a bottle of give you a beer or whatever. Yeah, I mean,
27:56
yeah, that's so there's a way. I mean if if if we
27:57
need this regulated, which I guess the ABC now has decided that's what we
28:02
need, then maybe we need to go to legislaturing and carve us out.
28:04
And then we've seen states that have done this where it's low cost. It's
28:08
we're not out there. We're not trying to make money off the booze.
28:11
It's really just something we're trying to do, you know, because you're not
28:14
selling it selling it. This is this is really just for the conveniences.
28:18
It's an amenity. It's exactly. It's just being you know, being being
28:21
being hospitable from the come from out of town for events like our walk things,
28:26
and this I guess is what I guess it is. I didn't understand
28:30
because I attend a lot of business after hours types of events in various places,
28:33
and about fifty percent of them, probably more do have alcohol if you
28:38
want it. Not a cash bar I'm talking about, you know, And
28:41
it's never very regularly, it's ever liquor. It's always you can have a
28:45
beer, you can have a glass of wine, you know, white claw
28:48
or whatever the hot thing is, right, you have something like that.
28:51
But the way I read this, I guess that's no longer allowed. That's
28:56
the question we have. We also are not we're not sure this is being
28:59
in from best I can tell, is not being enforced and uniformly around the
29:03
state. I think there's some places in Lewisburg they have continued to do this,
29:07
Huntington, Morgantown. So we've got a lot of questions about that too,
29:11
of how is this enforcement going to occur? Because what's what's the difference
29:17
of me in my shop on Quarrier Street you come in, Dave and I
29:21
offer you a beer, or the lawyer upstairs that's given his client a scotch.
29:25
Because that we know, I can guarantee you most of the lawyers down
29:27
to have a bar set up in their office. So it's a you know,
29:32
we're not sure exactly where we fit in, and that's where we are
29:34
right now, and that's whether we try to explain was that we're looking at
29:37
this. We're going to try to find a solution. There's some things in
29:40
play with the PODA and other things that may make make a difference and help
29:45
this, but it's ultimately a problem for us. I did see last night
29:48
and I was just scrolling through Facebook, and it's some one of the pages
29:52
that they have for Huntington. It's like a Downtown Huntington Association something like that.
29:56
Had actually commented and said, we are the first municipal in West Virginia
30:00
to offer this PODA because as it's called, Yeah, and so so do
30:03
you think Charleston will eventually And I think that well, yeah, matter of
30:07
fact, if you talked I talked to him to the mayor's office about it.
30:10
I've talked Chad Robinson. I think it's going to go through his committee
30:12
in Chad and I chat Chid and I have talked about some of the basics
30:15
of this, and we're going to talk more and and my understanding is that's
30:21
going to come up I think sometimes September October, hopefully being hopefully being placed
30:25
by the by the holidays, because that would be great for downtown. You
30:29
know. The main thing is is, you know, art Walk has had
30:32
some struggles coming back, and we're going to be taking a look at it
30:34
over the next few months too of what does it look like moving ahead,
30:40
because it's it's a different environment. The footprint of Charleston, Downtown Charleston has
30:44
expanded, and that's another thing that's happened. We were primarily a Capitol Street
30:48
and the Long Corrier. You know, now that this Summer Street expansion has
30:52
happened that the footprint is actually even bigger. So we're moving more people around
30:56
and moving them differently. And it's important that folks support down down Charleston because
31:00
they're small businesses really need that support right now. All right, Well,
31:03
Chuck's been a pleasure and I've learned a lot and having you on the show
31:07
and doing the research that I did. You got a great place there with
31:11
the purple Moon, and we always love to give shout outs all those those
31:14
local businesses, not only yours, but the others that take part in this
31:18
best of luck will hopefully we'll be able to get things worked out. We'll
31:21
talk to you soon, thinks so I appreciated hang out with me one second.

Today Texas Day. The ABC also enforced to seem silly policy the Easton pub
35:02
Cross. The bars were still busy on St. Patrick's Day, but the
35:06
crawling with beverages in hand was not existent, has only heard businesses all over
35:10
town. The only thing I would say to that is, and I'm not
35:13
a lawyer, I'm not an ABC expert or anything like that, is I
35:16
would think that, you know, I know, I do know people that
35:20
work for the ABC good friends of mine, and I understand both sides of
35:22
the equation. They have a job to do, and they are in the
35:25
law enforcement, not really law enforcement, in the enforcement business, I'll put
35:30
it that way. Yeah, And so it sounds to me like the confusion
35:35
here is maybe emanating from the Capitol or someplace like that, making sure that
35:40
we get everything lined out with them so we can have people doing whatever they
35:45
do. I can tell you though, as I mentioned, you know,
35:46
I visit a lot of the different chambers of commerce with my job, and
35:52
alcohol is a part of it, and it's free. Not not for me
35:54
because I'm driving, but it is a part of it, and and it's
36:00
free in most of them. And so apparently they've been listen, listen to
36:05
me, chambers. If you're giving out free alcohol, you're in violation according
36:07
to unless you have a license. You have to have a license, all
36:09
right. JK the DJ is my co host. How in the world did
36:15
you become JK the DJ oh Man? Okay, let's go way back,
36:19
way back machine, way back anyway. Man. I was a teenager and
36:22
was the best man at my best friend's wedding and walked into the wedding reception
36:27
and I saw a guy standing over there playing music. The lights were going,
36:30
the beat was thumping, and I recognized him as super duper Charlie Cooper,
36:36
and I was like, wow, man, this whatever he's doing,
36:39
I want in. Of course, I've been listening to him for years and
36:43
he was my local radio here, a super duper. Did you ever meet
36:45
him? I did? I did later in life, man, generous soul,
36:50
brilliant man. I did some voiceover work for Charlie with his company.
36:54
And when he called me mix yeah. And when he called me and as
36:58
said, wait a minute, Charlie, you want me to do my voice
37:01
that cracks constantly like a you know, like Peter Brady here from time to
37:06
time, and you want me to do voiceover work. But he was able
37:07
to get me a little work doing some voiceover work. God bless him.
37:10
He was a great guy. Oh he had the voice of God, I
37:13
think. And what a great wit. And so generous for this time and
37:15
everything. And I walked up to him and I said, look, I
37:19
don't know what you're doing, but I know I want to be a part
37:22
of this. And he took me under his wing and was so very like
37:25
I said, very generous with his time and his expertise and no kidding.
37:30
He was a brilliant man, wonderful personality and got me started. And I
37:35
guess the rest is history. I at one point I knew I wasn't going
37:37
to be a relief picture for the Reds. We're passing guard for the Lakers.
37:42
Those are my you know, my first two loves baseball and basketball.
37:45
So I thought, man, let's try this music thing. See what happens.
37:47
And so how did it start? I mean, what did you have?
37:49
Because now your company it's Triple A Entertainment? Is that what you're doing?
37:52
Okay, cheap plug there. We'll get into that a little bit later
37:57
on, but it's it's not I mean, what was it like then as
38:00
as compared to what it is now? Because we're probably talking two turntables and
38:05
a microphone? Is that right? Is a true story? Beck said?
38:07
The best? Oh yeah, two cheap, the cheapest turntables I could find
38:10
because I didn't have the money for the good ones. Man. The good
38:13
ones were even in those days, back in the eighties, were five or
38:15
six hundred dollars a piece. Man. Now they're like fifteen hundred, two
38:20
thousand dollars a piece. The tables that actually do nothing but vinyl. I'm
38:22
sure you can digitize them somehow now, but I haven't full with turntables in
38:25
a long time. But yeah, the cheapest I mean that the first gig
38:30
I did, I didn't even have a mixer. And the first mixer I
38:32
did buy it was at radio shack. It was so cheap that it was
38:36
battery operated. Okay, I was gonna say, I bet, I bet
38:38
you had the same mixer that I did when I tried to do this back
38:42
when I was in high school. But mine wasn't battery operated. I'll say
38:45
that it actually plugged in. Thank god, I had fresh batteries on hand
38:47
all the time. Man. But I was kind of an audio file to
38:51
begin with on about a really expensive pair of speakers at a stereo store in
38:54
Kanalla City, and already had those in my possession when I started talking to
38:58
Charlie about becoming a d JA, and he saw them. He come up
39:00
with to my apartment one time and saw them. He's like, well,
39:02
as long as you don't mind carrying them. Boy, those things were big
39:06
and now they're lighter. Way. Of course, you can get big,
39:07
heavy stuff now too, but the stuff now was you know, digital and
39:12
much lighter. Okay, it's gonna say, so what does what does your
39:15
rig look like now compared to what it was then? Well, it's big
39:17
and heavy, yeah, just a different kind of big and heavy exactly.
39:21
Yeah, the quality is much greater. The digital sounds are fantastic. It
39:24
just blows you away, the clarity of all the nuances of every song that
39:29
you play. Of course, I'll play it so loud that you can you
39:31
can detect the nuances. But you know, we're in a disco or a
39:36
dance floor, you know, trying to keep it rock and so it's not
39:37
the sound qualities not that critical when you get it up really that high.
39:42
What kind of events do you typically do? I mean weddings, see man,
39:45
Yeah, lots of weddings. Company wide, We're probably going to do
39:49
about eighty or ninety weddings by the end of twenty twenty three. We average
39:52
about seventy or eighty. But I'll tell you if folks are still trying to
39:54
make up for the COVID thing, trying to make up for lost time as
39:59
far as having fun, and because I would say it pretty much killed your
40:00
business and several other people too. Oh yeah, we're in the social gathering
40:05
business, not the social distancing business. So it really put a crimp in
40:07
my style, that's for sure. And you're still recovering from that. I
40:10
would imagine, oh, well, you'll never fully recover. But thank goodness
40:14
that folks are are are eager to get back to the dance floor, and
40:17
that makes me happy. Is all you do reunions and yeah, a lot
40:22
of wedding receptions, reunions, nightclub gigs, school dances. Talk about this,
40:27
gibl Proms coming up. Was gonna say, talk about this what you're
40:30
doing, And I'm oh, yeah, Yeah. Marty Graw Casino and Resort
40:32
Cross Lanes. They have a lounge called Louise. We've got a big show
40:36
there tonight. We play a lot of pop dance music. It's sort of
40:39
an open format thing. I mean, we'll play country or olddies or whatever,
40:44
but it's it's mainly whatever. We'll put people on the dance floor and
40:46
we always have a good time. The crowds are big and we have a
40:50
blast. Marty grow Casino and Resort. Tonight at nine o'clock, you're invited.
40:52
Man, nine o'clock's past my bedtime. Do you do like a five
40:55
o'clock show? I can. I I'll show up the five o'clocks. What's
41:01
your favorite part of the whole DJ thing? Jking? Oh, the adrenaline
41:04
rush, bud all the way down the line. That's the reason why I'm
41:07
still doing it to this day after many, many decades. Is the buzz
41:10
I get from at the adrenaline buzz man, the rush? All right,
41:14
but you also did your time in radio. It's funny because I had Tim
41:17
Brady on the show yesterday from the from the Charleston Convention visitor Beer. Tim's
41:22
an old radio guy, worked at Metro News, worked out at the Clarksburg
41:24
area where he's from in that area, and I asked him yesterday. I
41:29
think the first question before I even talked about the economic impact of REGATTA was
41:32
I asked him about his time in radio. And as soon and Tim's been
41:36
out of radio for years, and as soon as I said something about radio.
41:40
He took off. Man, he was telling telling me stories about doing
41:44
telling the listeners stories about doing high school football with Travis Jones and going on
41:47
the air with Fred and doing that whole thing. Well, tell us about
41:51
your radio career. Well we got to go back to super duper Charlie Cooper
41:53
again. Man. After I got a few gigs under my belt doing parties,
41:57
private events and a couple of nightclubs at Charlie, help me get a
42:00
radio job, please. And so he knew Doug. He knew all the
42:02
pds at every radio station in the market where he was an intimate friend with
42:07
everybody in this area. And that's the reason why Admix's broadcast was so successful.
42:12
They went to him regularly to do the spots. Anyway, he introduced
42:15
me to Doug Yannick, the PD at the time at WVSR, and they
42:21
had just gone from the Music of Your Life Dave to HR top forty.
42:25
And what time frame were talking here about? What year this is? Nineteen
42:30
eighty two, eighty two? Yeah, And of course when you're a starter
42:36
like me, an ambitious young starter, they put you on midnights on the
42:38
weekends. That's the crappiest shift of them all. I loved it, couldn't
42:44
get enough of it, and worked up through radio. I did probably every
42:46
shift at the radio station at one time or another over the fifteen years and
42:51
I was there. I was even in sales. You know old DJ's never
42:53
die. They're just going to say it. Yeah. Well, and it
42:57
is true what you said, we'll do this. We'll take a break to
43:00
do ten questions. I want to talk about Retrofest that you're a big part
43:01
of next week, But it is true about about radio. I mean,
43:07
this has been a passion of mind since I was seventeen. Well, I
43:08
actually I started when I was seventeen. It's been a passion of mind since
43:12
I was about five or six years old. And you talked about doing that
43:15
midnight to six, I did my midnight to six shifs. My first ship
43:17
was actually six am to noon as a high school kid, uh in a
43:22
in a small AM radio station which is no longer in existence in my hometown,
43:27
w log em uh and uh and and my my job was to play
43:30
gospel music and to put preachers on the air. None of them came into
43:34
the studio live. They were all on cassette or on reel to reel,
43:37
actually reel to reel and the kind of transition to cassette. So that was
43:40
my first job, and I would I would have done it for free.
43:44
And looking back now, I think I did some days. Uh, I
43:46
think I literally did it for free. But but I had fun. And
43:50
that's and that's the one thread that keeps all of us old radio guys,
43:55
I think together, is this is the fun. I mean, I left
43:59
the business, I came back done other things, and I mean I'm in
44:02
my thirty fifth year now, and this is my life. I've had other
44:07
jobs, and I have other jobs. I have two other jobs, as
44:08
a matter of fact, other than this one. It's my life. Man,
44:12
He's working for a living, that's for sure. No, I actually
44:14
have to do that too. I have to work for a living to pay
44:15
for my one hour hobby I have JK. The DJ's with Us five eighty

49:00
the electrics line. Probably the electrics. I'm good. I'm gonna catch guph
49:05
for that. All right, All right, you're just being honest. Thankfully,
49:07
Thankfully, no one's listening, which is the what's the biggest problem at
49:14
the end of a night after work at an event, you're head pounding for
49:16
the music or confetti in your hair, oh head, pounding for music and
49:21
having to lift the big heavy stuff. We just the aforementioned big heavy stuff,
49:24
