Country Aircheck Weekly OFF THE RECORD: DAVID NAIL Country Aircheck Today will continue its publication schedule MCA’s David Nail gives an industry spin on the artist interview: What station did you grow up listening to? KFIN/Jonesboro, AR. keep up with news as it happens on our Twitter and Facebook feeds. When was the "rst time you heard yourself on the radio? I was stuck in !ve o’clock tra"c in Nashville and mad when I caught the tail end of “Red Light” on WSIX. I wanted to roll Music: Top 10 Christmas Tunes down the window and yell, “Turn on this David Nail station! That’s me, boss!” Suddenly, I wanted to sit in tra"c for the next hour. Which regional is a speed demon? Marlene Augustine. You’ve got to make sure this story gets published. We were supposed to #y from Seattle to Spokane, but since they’re only four hours number of plays in parentheses. You’ll notice apart, I convinced Marlene to drive there because I hate #ying. But it snowed a ton and we lost a lot a time crawling through the mountains. But once we got out of the hills, it was a straight shot to Spokane. I couldn’t tell how fast we were going. I saw a state trooper, who was pulled over writing a ticket to another driver, and he starts #agging us down. We were half a mile down the road by the time Marlene stopped. The trooper demanded our license and registration without asking if we knew how fast we were going. Marlene said, “I couldn’t have been driving more than 80mph. I wasn’t going that fast.” We look on the GPS and it showed an average speed of 93mph. That means there were times she was driving 98-100 mph. She was morti!ed. How do you adjust to all the air travel? I interview the #ight attendants. I ask how long the pilot has worked in the !eld and if he’s had military training. Mean #ight attendants make me nervous. What question do you never want to answer again? What’s it like to be from the same town as Sheryl Crow?
