What's involved in being a disc jockey? Pyramid correspondent Cathy Buchanan recently talked with KMTI's Dave King answer to these questions. Dave was born and most of his spent childhood in Raymond, Alberta, Canada, where his father and grandfather worked together as blacksmiths. Inl959, a customer backed into the pryperfie tanks that fed the welder, and the shop completely burned down Tlfe grandfather, fortunately, had left the shop early that day. Dave's dad was burned over about 30 percent of his body, and in bandages for a long while. Dave feels will move to a bigger station and do straight disc jockey work.

Dave admits that he likes barbershop music better than rock, pop, classical, or any other type, and that "I play a little more Mills Brothers than I should" on the air.
