I was a small-town girl. Aside from the ridiculous green beret and homely green jumper, signing me up for Girl Scouts was the best decision Mom made for her fifth-grade daughter. I already knew how to build a campfire, and selling cookies wasn't the highlight of my year -- it was the field trip to the radio station that thrilled my little eleven-year-old heart.
There it was, five thousand watts of crystal-clear power...it was a daytime-only radio station, the voice of our town.
One look into that studio and I was hooked. I begged them to let me take home the unused news copy from the AP wire. I hung it up on my wall like a rock-star poster. I got a tape recorder and practiced doing newscasts, writing exciting stories of neighborhood gossip. I practiced my commercials, imitating TV ads for Miss Clairol.
In the seventh grade, I entered a speech contest and won three of the four categories. The judges were the owners of that radio station.
Within a week of winning the speech contest I had my first on-air job: "Delilah, on the Warpath," school news and sports, taped weekly.
By the time I was in high school I had worked into a full-time part-time position at the radio station. I wrote afternoon newscasts, wrote and produced commercials. I took the empty soda pop bottles back for the refund. Six days a week I was at the station. Six days a week I was happy!
It's been over 25 years, and fourteen stations since Mrs. Davis's Girl Scout troop walked through the doors of that first radio station. Today, my show isn't on a five-thousand watt daytime AM station, but the thrill of the microphone hasn't disappeared. Radio is still my first love.

- Dedication?If the previous message did not get through, I want to make a dedication. My grandmother passed away December 18, 2006. She was very sick and bedridden. The only thing she wanted to do was dance again. She never had the chance. If you can figure out what song I'm thinking of, great! I'll give you a hint, it has to do with shoes, by a Christian group.
- WhenI have been listening to Delilah and find that it is impossible to get on the radio show. It is very special if I can do it now because my grandmother passed away on the 18th. If I can get on I can request a song for her. Very unfortunately, phones are always tied up. When can I best call? I want to do this before Christmas is over. This is also my first time ever calling. I live in El Paso, TX. Right now it is 6:44 and for some reason she is already on the air even though the site says at 7. Please! If anyone can help me, please do so ASAP!
- Christmas GirlHello Delilah,
I had a story to share with you and all who are reading this. I wanted to bring hope that my little five year girl showed me.
We went to the mall last year and she wanted to talk to Santa. We went and she asked Santa to bring her daddy home. My husband is the Military and was going to spend the holiday overseas. She didnt know that her daddy was coming home. We went home that night and asked God to bring her daddy home for Christmas. That is all she wanted.
Christmas Day came around and there was a knock at the door. It was my husbands good friend and Santa. Santa gave Isabella her gifts and she didnt want them. She wanted her daddy. She got on her knees and once more asked God for her daddy to be home.
Santa took off his hat and got on his knees next to Isabella while she was praying. When she opened her eyes she looked over and saw her daddy. That was the happiest little girl I have even seen on Christmas day. Later that night she thanked God. She would not let her daddy go that night.
Thank God and God bless our troops! - Christmas wishGod bless you Delilah, it just brighten up my mood today to hear you mention the word God on the air, so many radio announcers or just people in general won't recognize God or his son Jesus Christ they are afraid of what others would do or say, i am never worried about that i will always recognize the creator of the universe and had it not been for his Jesus Christ would we have this holiday (Holy day) at all? well my wish is that i get a permanent job by the end of this month, i live in a unsafe neighborhood, my car has been vandalized in a locked garage, i can't think of enjoying a nice tree in my own home, i work 2 jobs to make ends try to meet, my hearts desire is to just land a decent job one that will allow me to eat and stop nibbling. please pray for me that my Christmas Wish is on it's way.
- not happyi recently lost my home to fire my names sam im 24 i live in ct and i recently lost my home to fire its the scariest thing ive ever been through and when i try and call delilah its always busy u cant get through are you even a real person where are you located i really love ur show and u ur such an inspiration
- There is a bright sideHi Delilah! I used to listen to you a few years back. Now I listen to you again and you are still AMAZING! You are talking about love and love is not always romantic love. Delilah, you are playing another great song right now. My darling baby sister passed away a year ago from breast cancer. I have been looking at her picture that sits right next to my bed. Tonight I am so sad that she is not here with me. I miss her smile, her laughter, touch, I just miss her being! She had a heart bigger than life itself! Please play something that will make this lump in my throat turn into a smile as I continue to remember her with love.
Thank you for making a difference in our lives. Looking forward to seeing you at the Mall of America. - Unresolvable Marriage IssuesWell, I, along with my clients; (I own my own Hair Salon), listen to you every evening I work. I hear you talk to people about all sorts of problems/issues, and you seem to always know the right thing to say to every circumstance...how great that is!! Keep up the great work!! Anyhow, my husband and I have now been separated for 5 mos. (Married for 6 yrs.) Communication or lack there of, has caused for things to get to where they are, unfortunately. Although it's only been technically 5 mos. that we've been "officially" been separated; things have been down hill for quite sometime. It seems that the communication that was there in the begining just seems to have disappeared litterally over-nite! Unbelievable, I know, but it's true! It's caused a great deal of pain, sadness, anger, & frustrate!! To say the least. I have 3 young children from one previous relationship; & there was NEVER any issues with my current "husband" wanting to accept all 3 as his own & vice versa. It just seems that I've found myself as a single mom once again; which I OBVIOUSLY NEVER thought would happen!! Now don't get me wrong...not trying 2 point fingers, it takes 2 to make a marriage work; however when 1 of them absolutely refuses for some unknown reason to communicate about ANYTHING anymore, it just deepens the pain, because aside from this, things could've been good! So if you could play a song that reminds me of my inner strength to make it through this; I'd very much appreciate it! Thanks Delilah!
- SADHey Delilah
I'm one one of your biggest fans, I also had the privilage to meet you years ago in Fairfield, CT. Anyways, your better known as the couple reuniter cuz you can make that happen for just about anyone. That's why I want you to some how let my hubby know that no matter what opsticle we're facing, we can get through it because our love is alot bigger than anything that life is throwing at us. I'd like for you to dedicate I will always love you by Jessica Simpson because no matter what is happening in our lives right now I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HIM!!!! and I think he knows that!!! Thanks a bunch Delilah your the best God Bless You!!!! - help?!dear delilah,
ive recently been going through a series of unfortunate events. my 19 year old cousin and her boyfriend (who was also a friend of mine) got hit and killed in a car accident. the night of her funeral my father got into a horrific motorcycle accident and lost part of his left leg. (hes now going through therapy at a rehabilitation center and hasnt been home for over a month so far) hes getting a prosthetic leg but mentally i dont think hell ever be the same. also, because of this i couldnt go to my friends funeral. my boyfriends dog died and now, my great uncle died as well. (everything has happened in the last five weeks)... and my best friend (pregnant) is moving to the other side of the country. im losing my mind just a little.... sometimes im fine and others i cry or get angry. its like a day to day thing. (a lot for a 21 year old girl to take on at once, especially after getting laid off and having money troubles as well). i feel like the world is crumbling around me. if its not too much to ask, i was wondering if you can play sarah mcgloclins, in the arms of an angel song?? (might help a little)- if im going to cry, happy tears are better than sad ones. thank you. <3 peace and love - Pleaseee can I make a dedication???!??!?Hi Delilah!!
My best friend, Layla, and I are hugeee fans of your show. She's coming home from her vacation tonight and I really missed her!!! Can you put on a song for her about how great a friend she is, OR possibly a song about people with a fear of airplanes? Hahah thanks.
Love,

- Still Listening99.9 used to be one of the stations broadcasted, and I listened to it falling asleep every night when I was little.
I'm still listening!
Thanks you so much! - AmazingYou are doing an amazing work Delilah i listen to you every night and it amaze me to find a word from you every night when im listening to you. Your talented your patience and i Love your show.
- email dedicationshey,
first off, i, i like 99.9% of the worls population love the delilah show. however, i am not very happy rightnow. i have written delilah 2, yes 2!!! very hartwarming email. one about how me and my fiancee got back together 1 year ago on christmas eve(2007) and i wanted her to dedicate a song to him. However he didnt. the second email i sent her was to have a song dedicated to my best friend who has been having such a hard year with cancer and falling o ut of the tub and hitting her head and the drs can figure out whats wrong with her and so on and so fourth and once again, delilah never dedicated a sond to her for me. i am getting very upset at the fact that she plays songs for everyone(even those that have stupid(what seem to be made up not so true stories) and its getting on my nerves. second of all, i have called the radio show atleast literally 1,000,000 time in the past 22 days or so,its either busy, or it rings and rings and ring and no one picks up.. after a bout seriouly 100 rings or so, it stops ringing and go to either dead air or i get and error in connection show up on my cell phone. i love the delilahsho, dont get me wrong, but i just wish that she would forthe love of god, get all dedications in before the end of the season. it not fair to us that have really heartwarming storries to tell and and songs to be didcated to the people we love and care about oh so much. so please deleiah, do more email dedications. ours are just as improtant as the peoples who are actually able to get thru with a phone.
sisncerily,and a not so happy listener,
Amy,
West haven,ct - helloDelilah,
First off, I would like to say that you have a beautiful voice when you talk. I love to listen to your station, even though sometimes I cry when I hear other peoples stories. I would love to call you on your station and request a song but every time you say the number I can't write it down fast enough. ha ha. Could you pleas try and say it a little slower, if you can. Furthermore, if you could play the ornigal verison of "Its the most wounderful season of all" as much as you can. That is my very favorite song. Thank you Delilah, keep touching hearts. <3 - hiI love your station,i love listening other people stories.
