They&#8217;ve played my music, had me on the air to promote my shows, and most recently (in March of this year), I officially joined the crew. I&#8217;m a fill-in DJ (with lots of opps to fill in), and I&#8217;m maintaining their web site and social media content. Life is good.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vky8xR8krV4\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Recently, me and most of my New Best Friends band were guests on &#8220;Please Stand By,&#8221; their live Sunday morning show. We were on to remind folks about our big show at The Ugly Mug cafe later that week. We played live versions of my song <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Hey Karma,&#8221;<\/a> a cover of Rodney Crowell&#8217;s &#8220;Still Learning How to Fly,&#8221; and premiered our new holiday tune, <strong>&#8220;No More Tequila For Santa&#8221;<\/strong> on KPIG for the first time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fun fact<\/strong>: As of this post, &#8220;No More Tequila For Santa&#8221; is available for download and streaming on\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/19fLWBI7m1KWpb8nYJx8Uv?si=uDGUB7xIQJ-OohqIy1-J2g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/artist\/michael-gaither\/id178242410\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iTunes<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/music.amazon.com\/artists\/B0016HJPT8\/CATALOG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/distrokid.com\/hyperfollow\/michaelgaither\/no-more-tequila-for-santa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">all your favorite digital platforms<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Big thanks to guest host Eric Parsons, for the great fun interview.
