About Me |
|
You are a Hippie You are a total hippie. While you may not wear birks or smell of incense, you have the soul of a hippie. You don't trust authority, and you do as you please. You're willing to take a stand, even when what you believe isn't popular. You like to experiment with ideas, lifestyles, and different subcultures. You always gravitate toward what's radical and subversive. Normal, mainstream culture doesn't really resonate with you. Something To Think About: "Self-empowerment - That's learning to respect other people's music, But dance to your own tune as you Master harmony within yourself. " Doc Childre. Tired Of Having Only ONE Song On Your Page? Want VARIETY? Check Out TheHomeForMusic.com . THEN: Ask Me To Hook You Up, So You Can Get YOURS! My Name is Tammie. But I'm also known as Tracy Black. My passion is music. Always has been.... Always will be. I started singing in front of people By the time I was in second grade, And my dream was to become a singer. I gave up that dream to become a mother, But I still wanted to Be close to music. In 1991, I was given the chance To learn about radio From a man that still remains close in my heart. The format was Oldies. A few short months later, I was an official 'jock' at a Country radio station That is known as WCTQ, 106.5 FM. I remained with 'CTQ from 1991 until 2003. My duties were not only Midday Air Personality, But I've also done live remote appearances, Station promotions, Radio production, Copy-work and voice- overs for local television stations. My interim duties also included that of Program Director And Music Director, Which entailed actual music programming of the station, And taking promotional music calls From major record labels. I was also the Public Files Director, For all six radio stations within our cluster, ensuring that they were, and continued to remain compliant With FCC regulations. I've even been a V-J on a local television station, Promoting the latest music videos. Although I left 'CTQ in 2003, I didn't leave our Parent Company, ClearChannel Communications. I remained with ClearChannel until 2005, Doing a Midday Shift On the Light Rock Station, 92.1 FM, WDDV. Even though I've been behind the Mic, I'll always be a LISTENER first and foremost. Love, Peace, Happiness & Music! T-ster Tammie Tracy Black When It Comes To Musical Heroes, Nobody Stands Taller To Me Than This Man. Chuck Reedy, I Love You To Pieces And Thanks For Being A Dear Friend! |

My Interests |
|
My guitars, bass & mandolin- Although I rarely Get to play anymore. Music, Reading and writing poetry; My Camera; Being near the water, Horseback riding, Fishing, Camping, And being in the Woods. I've been accused of being a "Naturalist" and a "Tree Hugger". I suppose this is true, And I make no Apologies for it. Just call me, "Simply outdoorsy is all". Or as my daughter Describes me: A "Redneck Hippie". Considering TODAY'S definition of a Redneck, I'd prefer to call myself: A Hippie-Chick, Who grew up in the Country lifestyle. The Cowboy's Ten Commandments (1) Just one God. (2) Honor yer Ma & Pa. (3) No tellin' tales or gossipin'. (4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin'. (5) Put nothin' before God. (6) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal. (7) No killin.' (8) Watch yer mouth. (9) Don't take what ain't yers. (10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff. Now that's kinda plain an' simple, don't ya think? |
