I am here for Networking

About Me

I work in public radio. I worked at WAER, the NPR jazz station at Syracuse University, from 1988 until April 2007; I was their chief announcer and did various other tasks for them. I'm now at WCNY, the NPR classical music station in Syracuse; I am a part-time classical music announcer there, and I also do production, engineering/board ops, and whatever useful things they need at the moment. I also have an interest in shortwave radio/international broadcasting, and I have had a program on the subject on World Harvest Radio for over a decade. The show is on the European English service of the World Radio Network as well. I've also been a free-lance member of the editorial team of the annual guide "Passport to World Band Radio" since 1991.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

On here, people with an interest in jazz, radio, classical music and opera. As for specific music people, Dame Joan Sutherland, Magda Olivero, Giulietta Simionato, and other grand divas and divos of past decades while they're still with us! In jazz, I'd like to meet Kurt Elling, Jon Hendricks, and Oscar Peterson, just to name a few. I've been lucky enough to already meet such people as Marilyn Horne, Leontyne Price, Rise Stevens, and Robert Merrill. I've also met a number of jazz luminaries such as Ellis Marsalis, Jimmy Heath, Carmen Bradford, Marian McPartland, Rob McConnell, Ranee Lee, Mark Whitfield, D.D. Jackson, and some others I can't recall off the top of my head.
