Aircheck from WIBQ 1220 AM in Sarasota (now WSRQ), the “Big Band Files” show I hosted. This is an interview with singer Jane Olivor originally aired 7-25-2004. After releasing five albums from the late 1970s through the early 1980s, her stage fright, anxiety over her rapid success, and her husband's illness and death caused her to take a 10-year hiatus. She released five more albums from 1995 through 2004. Since 2009, she has been retired from the public eye. (www.dougmilesmedia.com)
