'The Bridge' Radio Show

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

The name is Mike Rovatsos and I hope you'll allow me to enter your headphones or speakers in the near future with my new radio program called The Bridge heard on the best radio station in the world, KSDS-Jazz88.3FM in San Diego. I invite you to tune in every Wednesday night at Midnight (Pacific) for an hour of conversation about Jazz and Rock music and the long history between them. It is my hope to entertain, enlighten and discover all the connections and influences that these two genres have in common. Won't you help the cause? Become a friend and let me know what connections you can think of.
