P.S.
When I was working at KFAC I was called to help with a visitor who needed
to assemble a program. He told me it would be simple, he'd announce the
music and I would play the records he brought. No problem. When I rolled
his theme and opened his mic from his cue I almost fell on the floor when
he spoke Welsh. From this I was supposed to know what he wanted? He told
me he had forgotten where he was. It worked out well, he then gave me a
play list and visually cued me. What great times those were.
