Bill Cerri

Late FM talent whose gentle and soothing voice woke me each morning and who kept my love of the opera alive by playing a bit for me shortly before 9 a.m. on each "New Day."

Bill Cerri

The late, GREAT, WETA FM morning host who died on air. Great sense of humour and he always ended his show with the King Singers rendition of You Are the New Day. His show was a real delight.

David Cobb

David Cobb was a staff announcer at WSM in Nashville. As such, he worked on many different programs, including the Grand Ole Opry. He was the person who coined the term "Music City, USA" to describe Nashville. David was also the voice of Nashville Symphony Orchestra through the '50s and early '60s. As the evening DJ on WSM, he programmed an hour of classical music from 9 to 10 pm (just before WSM would switch formats to C&W for the 10 pm to 4 am slot) that was to only consistently available classical music broadcast when I was young.

By the time I began working as an announcer, Nashville had several stations playing classical music at least part time. I went to work for one of them. Although it WSM, David was one of my mentors, teaching me the art of announcing.
