Reply #23: I think the whole Air America thing took its toll......

Randi was on the front lines for a long time. She fought her ass off, and did a kick-ass job. But she took a big hit when she gave up everything in Florida and moved to New York (long Island..WLIR) to do the Air America thing. She got very little in return for all of her efforts and it sucked a lot of energy from her.

I can appreciate that it's not easy jumping into that BIG POND with all the big fishes, but unless you have ever been there, you can't appreciate what a leap-of-faith it is. How many people know friends who went to the Big Apple to break into Theater.. only to end up depressed and waiting tables? Been there.. done that.. got the T-Shirt....


I'm not saying that Randi wasn't a Professional.. what I'm saying.. is that LUCK and CHANCE are two of the biggest unknowns when you deal in the Russian Roulette world of show-biz.. whether its radio, TV or Stage. You can be be the best dancer in the world.. but it may take you 40 years to crack the New York Market.. (just ask Sammi Davis Junior)

Don't mean 'nothin.. just my humble opinion .... I'm sayin'... from someone who spent 40 years bouncing around Radio Stations and Theater groups. I hope Randi bounces back from whatever demon is sitting on her shoulder. She will be back....
