When both member and none member associates and friends ask me why they should get involved in HazzardAyre/DixieDiesel I tell them, what we have first is not new, just taking a different delivery path. For a decade now DixieDiesel, came into be what all radio especially long haul over the road trucker radio was meant to be, done with the kind of spirit and flavor that could only be from people with their heart in Hazzard County. Along came 2010 and we brought our warbird radio gig and our kountry southern gearhead including bikers community into one show HazzardAyre. Which has grown on its own through syndicated distribution. Now its time to take the path that I’m sure Mark Zuckerburg took in that dorm room, decided to take, time to crap or get off the pot. Something new, spirited , ambitious, and full fight the system, right to the edge rebel. In social media it was checking out what your friends were doing. Who they were seeing, dating, eating, watching. In radio is tuning into radio that looks at all types of things from how the smell of a woman's butt effects a guys sex drive, to looking back to vintage disco bands such as Earth Wind And Fire. Educating northern Yankees of the information on the cause of the southern movement. This is HazzardAyre/DixieDiesel.
Mark had three things in his favor, he had the IT/TECH background to pull it off, two he was on the campus of a ivory league college, and he had a bit more capital to get started. Thing is we are already started, we just need it directed towards the Internet, we gathered some new gear. Myself I have been stalling for two months thinking I was making a physical move from Idaho to Utah. While moving HazzardAyre/DixieDiesel to Ogden Utah is a good idea, if I get out of that toew truck cab, I am doing what I said in 1977 I would never do. Neglect towing in favor of radio. I will not be just a front. If I’m not towing I have no reason to be the industries voice. So I stay for 7 months in Idaho, refine some things here, while we build the radio gig in Utah. Which satisfies both sides.
I’ll get into some personal stuff later on, but know this, while there is all kinds of online radio stations, just like when Mark started there was all kinds of social media, MySpace etc, hell even Yahoo and MSN had chat rooms. Mark changed that, and in his shadow came Twitter. In our case, HazzardAyre/DixieDiesel Stands alone. Ready to do battle, and that means having the right people both at the studios, as well as doing the tasks from remote locations such as Richie and Eli, but know this HazzardAyre is poised to do for radio at a time radio needs a kick in its complacency, what Facebook did for the web, and Internet.
