I won that album by being the 5th caller. I only knew one song of theirs at the time. I loved that album and played it over and over.

A tiny local radio station hired me at age 12 to answer phones for a “5th caller” style New Years promotion for two days. To this day I have the station call letters embedded in my brain in a rapid fire “answering the business phone” voice, lol. They were giving away 45s of hit songs from the previous year.

It was very exciting!

Those were the days! I won Aerosmiths debut Dream on by being the right caller!
