Ok, you can’t just replace small talk with a stare. Small talk isn’t great but it’s a necessary evil Replacing a stare for small talk makes things even more awkward and weird!

I’ve been in radio here in Jax, playing country music for a long time, but I’m now trading my cowboy hat in for a lovely tiara & I’m excited to be on Easy 102.9.
