Country Music and the Bakersfield Sound

A look inside the Country Music history of Bakersfield AND a story about my 'almost' radio VoiceOver career.

Thank you Mark!

I guess that makes sense why you aren't a radio announcer. You certainly have the voice for it!

Not long after this, I got offered a job to teach welding in a California State Prison, same thing. Talked about it for a while until we got to the money. It was about half as well, but good benefits. The twist and turns in life. Thank you John!

I was driving to Las Vegas years ago and passed through Bakersfield and noticed a number of welding supply places. I thought this area has a lot going for it. Here in San Francisco I needed a 2nd engine drive I had to drive almost 100 miles to get it.
