Friday Photo Flashback

I had forgotten all about this picture. I'm not even sure who took it, to be honest. This is me and my lifelong friend, Jeff, in the studio at WMXD in Detroit. The photo had to be taken around 1990.

Uncontrollable Laughter

When I started this blog, I often questioned whether or not I would have things to write about.  A friend of mine suggested subscribing to a "daily writing prompt" site.  These prompts can be helpful as "thought starters," but I haven't really ever received one that immediately made me want to sit and write - … Continue reading Uncontrollable Laughter →

Some old radio stories…Part 1

Yesterday was National Radio Day. Many of my radio friends shared pictures and stories from their careers throughout the day. Looking back, I really wish I had taken more pictures!
