ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI – “When I was young, people would ask, ‘What would you like to be when you grow up?’ To my mind, ‘like’ had nothing to do with it. I had already decided I was going to be a DJ, and nothing was going to stop me from reaching my goal. I had no idea that I was destined to run headlong into cold reality. Fortunately, this dilemma was resolved when I found something far greater than my original quest” says Don Corey, author of “Are You Talking To Me?” A St. Louis native and legend at the city’s KSHE 95 radio station, Corey takes you through the condensed version of this former-DJ-turned-author’s unique life.
“Are You Talking To Me?” captures the ache for a childhood dream and the persistence to make that dream come true. More though, it shows the transition from young boy to mature man as these goals – once held as the pinnacle of a life’s efforts – fade into memory as something of much higher importance and lasting comes into focus.
Unfortunately, “Are You Talking To Me?” was to be Corey’s first and only book. During the final proofing stages, he suffered a severe and fatal heart attack. His devoted wife, Katherine, writes a short, heart-wrenching ‘Afterword’ section about her ironic promise to see the book through publication if he couldn’t. Through her efforts, this loved radio personality, husband, father, friend, and author will not only be fondly remembered by those that knew him, his life is forever recorded in print for anyone to get acquainted with the man behind the voice.
