Name: Richard Blackford

From: St. Louis, MO      

Works at: Richard works as an 8th Grade History Teacher at Selvidge Middle School.

Richard has been listening to KSHE since 1983.

Richard likes KSHE for the variety of the music. KSHE plays the stuff he grew up on and lets him in on some of the new material that is out there.

Richard says having to teach 8th graders all day can sometimes really bring a person down. He says the best thing to help out an old teacher is listening to KSHE play some of his favorite songs. It motivates him through the day.

KSHE songs that get Richard through the day:

Mama Let Him Play-Doucette

Born to Run-Bruce Springsteen

Helter Skelter-The Beatles

Spirit of the Radio-Rush

Fool in the Rain-Led Zeppelin

Start Me Up-The Rolling Stones

End of the Innocence- Don Henley

Live and Let Die-Paul McCartney and Wings

Roll with the Changes-REO Speedwagon

Message in a Bottle-The Police
