Where is cousin brucie

No politics. No problems. No racial issues. I just want you to relax. I just want you to relax and be yourself, and we're going to escape a little bit. I have to be careful. I don't want to upset anybody. You certainly do know your fans — many of whom have been with you all these decades.

I learned a long time ago, Cousin Verne, to talk to people like I'm talking with you right now. Over the years [fans] keep calling me and you get to know who they are. I can picture Mary. They'll send me their happiness or their sadness.

I'm very involved with their lives. Indeed, but will they follow you back over to terrestrial radio — and AM no less which is having its own particular problems right now?

So-called terrestrial is in a state of flux [but] because of technology, a radio can sit in your back pocket [and] if you are in Los Angeles or down in Mexico City you can still hear Cousin Brucie.

Or you can go to Alexa. It's called connectivity and boy, in this climate do we ever need something basic, something to put our feet on.

We're all so anxious, nervous, and here is a way of connecting again with somebody they have a good warm feeling for and they know this person has a warm feeling for them … We are in deep trouble but every once in awhile we come across these little tiny bits of light and I'm going to be one of those tiny bits of light.

I missed my commercials. I do a lot of live reads, and I make these commercials very much a part of what I do, and what I do is get very involved with my audience.

It would be an important decision for them to make, and they are doing pretty well with their talk format. But the music format will bring them a whole new audience. They will keep a lot of their audience, but there could be a crossover, and the idea of opening up the weekend to music would be a brilliant idea. Let me tell you about the jingles. This audience that grew up with Cousin Brucie will feel very much at home.

First of all, they have brand new, state-of-the-art studios that they just moved into last week, and I am going to be one of the first using it. I will have a board op, and I will have an associate producer working with me, because I have to keep my mind on what I am doing.

I am very audience-prone. I pay attention to my audience. You know, people get so involved in their lives with me. They tell me about the good times.

They tell me about the bad times, or if they have a serious situation in the family. I talk to them about it and I try to get them to just take a deep breath, and kind of talk to them about golden moments. I try to relax them, and I ask, what music would make you happy? Music is so medicinal. I want to give you these three to four hours that I am on the air, and I want you to feel relaxed and feel the magic and feel the love.

I stay young because I feel young. I love this music. I program my own shows. I program my music and let the audience program with me.
