Q.E. Celebrates 10 Years at KDKS

KDKS 102.1 hosted a Champagne Party Saturday night to celebrate the 10-year Anniversary of KDKS radio host & KDKS/KBTT Program Director Quenn Echols.

(Yeah I know how it's spelled on the marquee, but trust me ... mahogani is right lol).

The event was held at Full Moon Bistro, taking up both levels. The hundreds that attended the event got the best of both music worlds with Blues and Old School at the bottom level (shout out to Humma Lumma) and R&B and Hip Hop on the top level (shout out to Doc Cooley who had me dancing more than I have in a LONG time). Add to that lots of well-dressed people and some alcohol and you have yourself a party!








Among the partygoers were KDKS/KBTT personalities (old and now) Rockin' Roz, Domino Stone, Catdaddy, Al B., Fatha Flow, Don Gibbs, and Humma Lumma. I believe Ferrari Fox was on the job and I didn't see newlywed Bay Bay, but I'm sure he sent his luv. TalentedTouch Photography and AAMPS were also in the building taking snapshots but I took some of my own (see below). The Radio Group family and friends stopped to pose for a few pictures. Throughout the night, Quenn was surrounded by fans, co-workers, fellow radio/music people, and even his own family.










Good times! Stay tuned for an EXCLUSIVE mahogani media interview with Quenn about his 10 years at KDKS and his nearly THIRTY years in radio ... including some great celebrity stories and his take on music/radio then and now ...



I'll have that on Monday (April 28th)! So check back then ... mahogani

The Tax Man Cometh ... (and so does Holiday In Dixie)

Midnight Tuesday is the deadline for filing 2007 taxes. If you're mailing them, they must be postmarked April 15th ... If you're e-filing, you have until midnight to do so. (I wouldn't chance, file before 5 pm).

I filed way back in February and have already gotten my check (how much? -- that ain't cha bizness! lol) ... For those not planning to file this year ... here's a little incentive to get that turned in:

Remember that check every American is getting from the government? $600 if you're single, $1200 for married couples and $300 extra for every child?

Well, if you don't file, you get NADA! Even if you only made 600 bucks all of last year, you have to file to get the check from Washington .... I'm not playing ... I already got my letter from the government ... did you?

Checks started mailing out in May ... So make sure your taxes are FILED!!!!
