“Spinning a Little Piece of Home” takes me right back behind the microphone at Armed Forces Radio in Vietnam — headphones on, records stacked beside me, requests coming in, and that red ON AIR light glowing above the studio. My job was to keep the music moving and the voice steady, even when everything outside the booth was anything but normal. Every record had a destination. Maybe it was for a guy from Boston, Detroit, Texas, or some little town nobody else had heard of. For three minutes, that song could take him back there.
