On Facebook earlier, I posted an article that was written about Honey Radio going off the air. For the article, they interviewed the "Bard of Lincoln Park", Boogie Brian (who did an amazing send off for Honey's last 15 minutes on the air), me, and my partner, Rob Main. Rob has been on my mind … Continue reading “Get a load of this guy …”
Dr. Yank, D.D.S.
From the things you will never hear file: "I cannot wait to go to the dentist! It's one of my favorite places to go!" I recently had my dental cleaning and found that some old fillings needed to be replaced, and a new cavity had to be filled. It is hard enough for me to go … Continue reading Dr. Yank, D.D.S.
The Big O
Roy Orbison is a rock and roll legend. I refuse to debate this. It is a fact. The Beatles and Elvis Presley (both legends in their own right) had stated on record that Roy was a major influence on their music. Roy's music was different - it had it's own style and a certain darkness … Continue reading The Big O
The Tool I Hate the Most…
Growing up, I remember my dad building stuff for us. Dressers, Swing Sets, Bookshelves, Beds, etc.... He needed a few tools: a hammer, a screw driver (sometimes one of each - flat head and Phillips), and a wrench. Sometimes he would need a socket wrench or drill, depending on the job at hand. Lately, this … Continue reading The Tool I Hate the Most…
Famous Encounters
In a recent Facebook post, I asked my friends to ask me questions they'd want to hear answers to. Phyllis asked: "What has been your OMG moment in radio in regards to meeting someone who you never dreamed of meeting and did they measure us to your idea of them in your mind?" Throughout 30 … Continue reading Famous Encounters
Radio Friends – From the Listener Side
Shelley asked the question earlier regarding radio listeners who have become "true" friends. She wanted to know how something like this evolves. I would have to say as I look at my Facebook friends list, I can see that many friends are connected to me via radio in some way, shape, or form. Maybe the … Continue reading Radio Friends – From the Listener Side
Questions and Answers #1
I have a blog that is totally ready to post, except that I was unable to figure out how to add audio (some friends have offered suggestions as to how to do that, and I will attempt that in the following day or two). Since that blog was not ready, I went to my Facebook … Continue reading Questions and Answers #1
Things I Want To Do
I guess you could look at this blog as a "creative writing prompt". I was listening to something on the radio today and the voice guy said "What do YOU want to do, but just haven't done it?" Well, I jotted a few things down instantly and now I am listing them here. 1. Play … Continue reading Things I Want To Do
Sweet 16….already?!
They say that when you have children, the clocks in your life begin to tick away the minutes, hours, days, weeks, and years faster than ever. There is a lot of truth to that statement. It certainly doesn't feel like it, but 16 years ago today, my life was changed forever. My oldest son, Dante' … Continue reading Sweet 16….already?!
The One, The Only, Rozmo!
In talking to a very close friend this week, we talked about blogging and journaling. Why do we do it? I look at as the “book I have always wanted to write” and the blogs are the chapters. What I am finding is that with each blog I write, I find new topics to jot … Continue reading The One, The Only, Rozmo!
