MITCH MACLAY SINGS JUST FOR YOU
by Craig Bailey
It’s a Saturday morning in the late 1980s, and radio jocks Chris and Loralie await one-time pop sensation Mitch Maclay’s visit to small market station TRU-92. Once the authentic voice of their quiet Iowa town, the station’s recently changed gears by shifting away from local talent to become another increasingly common automated abomination. While Chris and Loralie contemplate their place in a changing broadcast industry they debate the nature of Mitch’s promotional tour. What is it about the has-been crooner’s upcoming visit that’s put them at odds? And will he even show up?
