I ultimately got into the radio business as a DJ and worked at the same radio station as Willie Nelson (Willie helped me get over my fear of headbands). I have lived in Central Oregon for the past 18 years. Living in Central Oregon allows me the opportunity fish in my neighbors wading pool and all of the nature surroundings. E-mail Jake Daniels -jakedaniels@ksjj.com   After MidNite - Blair Garner is the host of "After MidNite with Blair Garner." He is one of the most successful air personalities in the country, nominated numerous times by Billboard for "Best Syndicated Radio Personality" and having worked at several popular stations in Dallas, Washington D.C., Houston, New York City, and Los Angeles. Blair is the youngest of three Texas boys raised by Gary and Mariellen Garner. His father was the director of the West Texas A&M University Band, and his oldest brother, Brad, followed in Gary's musical footsteps and teaches at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music in Ohio and at The Juilliard School of Music in New York. Blair's middle brother, Bryan, is a lexicographer in Dallas. Don't worry... Blair didn't know what it meant either. Actually, Bryan is a leading scholar on legal writing, and has several books published by The Oxford University Press. In his free time, Blair collects cars. At any given time he usually has six to fifteen different cars ranging from Porsches and Ferraris to classic Cadillacs and Chryslers. When asked about his amazing success, Blair quickly credits his parents. "My parents taught us all two very important lessons: First my father taught us that if we were going to make a mistake, make it as big and loud and hairy as you possibly can. Commit yourself to it. If you're timid, you'll never reach the brass ring. Don't be afraid to fail. Secondly, my mom always told us that we were special. We could do anything we could dream. When you add those two lessons together, the results can be pretty powerful." E-mail Blair aftermidnite@premrad.com Click here for Blair's Website www.aftermidnite.com
