Texas Tech for real, roughly a little less than a
year and a half, a few semesters for I transferred
(00:21):
to to the University of Texas down in Austin. But
I did find some air checks my first venture into
what I'm gonna call big time radio. And it was
big time radio, I mean, especially coming from my hometown
of Sweetwater, Texas, suddenly going to Lubbock. And before I
hit these air checks, let me just well, I don't
know what it is. My voice did change a lot.
