published No doubt these days about the celebration of the Day radial worker has revived the great literary vein of our partner Francisco Flores Olave, sometime radio broadcaster, who keeps "tasty memories" on this medium. Due to the excellent article written by my friend Eduardo Torres with some of the history of radio in Cañete and Lebu, and for coming to my mind so many memories of the time I worked at Radio Millaray, I did have some tasty stories, in fact there are many, each person has his , so I will only have about two or three.
By October of 1973 comes from Angola led by Luis G. Leal Rivas, Manager of Radio Millaray, the announcer Américo Giuluicci Andueza, who would take over the artistic direction and recruitment advertising in the station, but there was a small problem ... we were on national television compulsory military coup, therefore there was no programming; all I had to do the radio controller to open in the morning was connected to Radio Universidad de Concepción was the best reached Cañete as a cause of geographical known.
Due to the same geographical problems began to weaken the signal so that the end was just noise, besides being presented another problem, would the military junta in the government but had to pay equal wages, light, water, etc. , etc so I had to invent something to generate income, and Americo earn a percentage of each contract notice, which until then was not. Blessed
But ... be the Most High, someone lit up (can not remember who) and suggested going to talk to the police captain in case gave us permission to hang down from the string and regular programming, we said good idea, and now who will put the bell the cat? ... Américo Giuliucci, total was the Artistic Director, who was accompanied by who would henceforth be his "yoke" of raids in Cañete, Tito Muñoz Fuica
Police Captain graciously agreed to the request with the commitment that Chile would play some music during the day, and at the times we would connect to Radio Universidad de Concepción to give the bulletins from the Diego Portales building where it was installed government, get How to get the signal.
Well, then there was a restructuring of turns of speech and radio-drivers, leaving me to work with Tito as a speaker in the morning and afternoon, also was set for Saturday at 22 am a dance program called "Holding flight "that would make Tito and America to add color to the environment from the sweeper and I in the room sound.
As three weeks everything was in order and there was no news, but ... X on Saturday he was "going" to the program and Americo invited Tito to have a beer where "On Raul "I was half a block from street Villagrán and I stayed playing music supported with some wedges and waiting to arrive, because, they said bring me a beer, played music, and played music, and played music, and finally closed the transmissions at midnight and the announcers never knew ... until Monday!
What had happened? Were where "On Raul" and others were invited to a party Antihuala and thither they went, what program or what program! When I claimed they asked me, Pancho what do you call the dance? "Holding flight, I said" Yeah, puh, we "cling fly pa'Antihuala, not grace me no joke.
Another anecdote. In August 1975 a weekday the lights went out, was at one point we were all in the station, so we started to talk, tell jokes, and suddenly I say, "Goat, why not ramada pa'l finish off a "18"? total we have music to spare. "Sure," said Tito Munoz, the salary would have to put pa'financiar "we won the staggering sum of $ 100 .- so that together we could do it.
was a few days, a couple of weeks perhaps, and suddenly comes Tito a la radio y dice –“Ya, rematé el sitio pa´ la ramada; así que necesito una autorización de ustedes pa´ pedirle la plata a don Gerardo”; todos le autorizamos y comenzó la fiesta; estábamos Juanito Gutiérrez; Alfonso Mendoza; Eduardo Torres (temporalmente) Tito Muñoz y Yo.
Mi papá fue a ayudar a conseguir algunos materiales y a trabajar en la instalación de la ramada; también me parece que hizo los contactos para comprar un novillo para la carne (de eso no estoy muy seguro, pero parece que fue así); claro que comenzaron los problemas con don Gerardo Rivas porque decía que dejaríamos botada la radio; cosa que al final sucedió; así que después Parade "18" allowed to close until 20.
ramada To work on all of us to our partner for the kitchen, the men at the inn and ... to dance to please any audit, Eduardo her sister borrowed amplifier having a team, and something funny happened because I was hitting well cumbia "The bird" of the stars of the Valley and we had only "animal", so every once in a while came from another ramada to borrow our "animal", as in the ramada that there were "animal" is concentrated people, a lot of work was our "animal" - I mean cumbia.
Eduardo Torres attended the inn and the collecting box, Alfonso Mendoza was placed on a floor rotating at the center of the inn to meet so he did not get out of there, except that after most of the night wanted to go to the bathroom and not able to return to the "cucarro" that since the public was served liquor, and he was not used to drinking (except the pīpene of "Last Tango" but that's another story) so I did not realize he was doing Indeed the "affection and friendship" to the public.
All logistical support, ie flour patties, onions, meat, were Tito's house a few yards away, the arbors were at the site adjacent to St. Paul Viveros Population at that time was empty, and something happens here that still does not find explanation ... suddenly the party initiating the 19 by later it was over! And as I was half enfiestado because that day is my birthday gave no importance, but Alfonso Mendoza claimed up to the elbows, Juanito said nothing, Eduardo either.
Finally the party is over, and the friendship between us deteriorated Tito, so much so that in a discussion regarding the issue once we were on the radio, Tito Alfonso assaulted with a stick he found; finally, after 32 years that have passed, for me it's just an anecdote, it does not matter, some time ago I spoke with Tito on the phone and continues to be my friend and he rewarded that friendship sincerely.
few days later, maybe a couple of weeks, Edward was confirmed in a radio station in Concepcion, I was trying to get in and left Cañete, since then I have seen only two times I went to greet the Caracol Radio , so far, I've seen his picture in Lanalhue News.
The last story for today. Américo
Giuliucci
always went and returned from time to time, was again Cañete, and as he was always creating ideas to make money, in late 1977 he got the bright idea of \u200b\u200bmaking a baby-football championship with Merino Lt. Lebu Radio, this tournament would return and be called "The cup of friendship "and each station had to promote the game in their city because the bordereau be shared between the two radios, which in turn would be divided between the respective staff.
Lebu We went to play, we all, Pedro Mendoza, Jaime Jara, Tito Muñoz, Américo Giuliucci, Germain Salas (who had not played or with ground) and I the keeper; Juanito Gutierrez was in charge of all radio ; result We tied it at 1 with a goal by Tito Munoz, ah! And the collection will wonder, for in Lebu NOBODY HAD BOUGHT ANY INPUT therefore had no case. Like us to the study we were served canapés and a shot of vermouth, and pa'fuera it was 11 pm, no locomotion had no money to return to Germain Salas Cañete so had to speak with a person who had Lebu a pick-up that was called "Taxi-load" with which he worked and charged us $ 1,500, for taking us to Cañete who paid the skinny Jaime Jara with a commitment to return the money in the cabin came Americo and Germain, the rest on the pick-up dead cold, united in friendship as ever. Now that I do not think we pay the $ 1,500 .- Jaime
Well, in the second leg did something nice, and not beat us in Lebu, brought several "cookies", all major players known by Salas because Germain had worked there, and everything was "legal" radio management had made a contract "provisional" in the morning, and not wanting them out of the team, we integrate to our Guillermo Guerra, Agricultural Bank official State and did a program about the subject on Sundays, are also introducing our "cookie" Home: Johnny Mata, the renowned and beloved "Caracol".
In the game, which was done in the Club Sports Alliance, with an impressive framework of public because it does Cañete supported his radio, with an arbitrator clearly in favor of the visits, I do not remember how many, but there were several goals they took, and most burn was a young man who brought him the top scorer who made a poor recovery of a penalty the referee, everyone told me to leave the bow alone against my will, and boy did it hit the vertical left, causing total collapse and that its star player because of the blunders of the audience.
the end with the proceeds ordered to make a "Pichanga" the Restaurant "The Ponce" which was a block, as 40 people, shortly after the Lebu not outclassed the 10, where all proceeds are invested so again we saw none. But that was happy, damn it was happy.
Finally, each person who has worked in radio has stories to tell of collectively and individually, each one has the taste of tragedy or laughter at the time, but like now, and over time these are transformed into joy, in moments that never come back, and remember us having a moment of emotion and gratitude for the people we met over time, and with whom we shared the joys and sorrows, feeding dreams and hopes of a better future for all, this future is in our hands today, in the persons of our children and grandchildren, and make us realize that life is beautiful and worth living because there is always someone who needs us, and every time we are valued, there is always also a star in the sky that we must achieve, and that ... "
When walking the path
and
look back you see the path that has
never walked again.
Greetings to all, Dear friends of Cañete radios.
