Now: Marla says (12/05), "I am looking, again, due to a format change. I just got back from the Austin Texas market, which I am seriously interested in. I have a house and a good life (until the lack of a job stepped in again) here in Northern Colorado. I single-handedly got the local music scene on the air here, on a Clear Channel station no less, and pulled a 22 share in a night part ... Sunday evenings, which had never been done. My first 'national band' out of Loveland Colorado is a band called Love .45. They are worth a listen, and they are healthy ready musicians who deserve the next level ... any help from anyone reading is greatly appreciated. I am at 970-217-1528, and now willing to relocate for the right position."
