Hey everyone, no this isn't the lovely and talented LP typing at you but instead it's Gilby's PR flack, your old pal Double-B, with a special guest edition of Doug Hebert's blog.



Why am I here? Good question. To make a short story long, I've known Doug for more than 16 years and since then I've helped him with all the open house events, Super Sales and car shows he puts on at his shop. One of the way he promotes these events is with radio advertising and since 1992 myself, along with my good friend Andy Abdow, one of those deep-voice announcer dudes you hear on the radio, have been producing and recording the spots.



Andy has been on the radio here in Charlotte for over 20 years and if you're a local might know him as Dude Walker from WRXK, 99.7 the Fox. Anyway Andy has a full-tilt-boogie recording studio in his house and I went over there today to record the spot for next weekend's sale that will start playing this weekend.



Unlike the good old days where we used to record it on audio tape and have to cut and splice it all together, we now record it on a computer hard drive using special software that makes the whole process a lot easier.



It only took us about an hour to do the whole deal and I just wanted to let you guys check out the finished product; you can hear it by clicking here.



The spot is in the old-school drag racing style and every time we do one of these we always think of the late, great Steve Evans who inspired not only us but dozens of other production houses who produce drag racing commercials.



Hope you dig it and hopefully Mr. Zilla will kick some butt this weekend and bring home the Winternationals trophy in memory of Jon and James.



Type at you L8R.
