On Tuesday April 8th 2008 I was asked to
make a speech to America's leading
organization for Disc Jockeys - the ADJA.  After
I wrapped up my speech they surprised me and
presented me with their highest award, a
Lifetime Achievement Award for my "integrity,
dedication and positive role model".  I was
stunned and honored.  Thank you ADJA!

DJing at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, for Calvary
Christian School, April 2008.  It was a black tie fund raising benefit that I'm
so pleased to say set a record for the school.  I was the auctioneer and DJ,
and provided all the sound and lights.  The organizers wanted an exciting
club atmosphere for the dancing - the overall night had a James Bond theme
- so we gave them what the wanted with chase lights, LED projectors and
colored washes around the entire room.  It was an amazing and spectacular
evening.  For more photos click here.

After twenty-five + years in radio and music  (I guess
I started as a DJ when I was four!) I figured it was
time to share some of the memories with you.  
Throughout the site you'll find photos and  audio clips
from different eras - especially the 80s of  course - and
also some pictures of my family and beloved pets.  
Check back often as this site will be updated on a regular
basis with new photos, stories, audio clips, etc...

Universal Citywalk is always amazing on
a Friday night in the summer.  Richard
Blade's Flashback Fridays wrapped up
their fifth year of fun at the end of
August and we're already planning
summer of 2009!  And remember, it's
FREE to come on down, so next summer
bring the family and I'll see you there!!!

One question I always get asked - "When you DJ a wedding or party, do you only play 80s
music?"  The answer is simple - I play what you want.  If you want Depeche Mode, you got
it!!! But if you want Elvis, Celine, Beyonce, Timbaland, Frank, Madonna, U2, Britney, Elton,
etc... then that's what I play.  It's your party and I want to make it the best, most fun day
you've ever had!!! Here's an e-mail 'review' after a fun 40th birthday party for Moira Conrad!

Richard,
It was quite a pleasure to meet you the other night at Moira's birthday party. I
haven't seen my little sister that excited in who knows how long.  You were such
an integral part of our lives on KROQ, and you brought everything back like it
never left. It's more than just the music.

Thanks again for turning a great evening into a perfect one. Your warmth,
kindness and genuine joy and enthusiasm were apparent and made everyone
feel so relaxed and welcome and just plain happy. The night just couldn't have
been any better.

        Moira's brother Don.
