When people started coming online at 4PM on December 31 we wanted you to feel
you were in Murphy, North Carolina, temperature 50 degrees! Great Carolina Blue
Sky! The first concert was sold out, 500 people in the lower floor and upper
sanctuary areas! We gave blow by blow description of what was going on up to
concert time. We even put Paul Simmons drum check on the air LIVE!
Here is what some people said on a forum I posted on
www.thepetrazone.net,
celinhamatos from Brazil said,
"Yes I'd like to say THANKSSSSSSSSSS for MARK and Alex
from AROUND THE WORLD RADIO because they did a good job specially for us that
couldnt go to USA and they broadcast the concert for us around the world!!!
When Wayne was talking to Mark I thought here hummmm
he'll not
agree to broadcasting this but for my surprise he said yessssss
it was awesome
listening the interviews and the shouts out so GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!!! I'm a
friend of ATWR.ORG forever!!!"
Petrapraise said, "Mark
went beyond 2:45AM (01/01/06) and yea he can talk. Nice guy too. He grabbed me
from the stage crew and started interviewing me about doing lights for this
concert. I was startled at first, but had fun."
Sue Dempster of
Sheboygan, WI,
"I'd like to give credit where credit is due to AROUND THE WORLD RADIO and
Mark's persistance in not giving up until he obtained permission to broadcast
this event...
He had to jump through alot of hoops to be able to do this for all of you. Not
only that, but he was on the air from 4 p.m. to 2:45 a.m.! That's straight
through, constant live remote broadcasting. I'm a good talker, but boy - Mark
can really keep it going! Then you put John on the mic at 2:30 a.m. - the two of
them could have keep talking forever! lol!
But seriously - MAJOR KUDOS to Mark and his wife Laurie, and his son Alex for
going way above & beyond the call of duty to help all the Petheads who weren't
able to attend feel a part."
