***********************************************************C heck out the new Whitesnake Album.It ROCKS!!!!!!************************************************* ************************************************************ *********..************************************************* ********** Check out a softer side of Zakk Wylde in this video. He is doing a duet with his daughter. :) She is probably the only woman who can get away with telling Zakk what to do! lol********************************************************* ** ***********************************************************M y name is Tasha...pronounced Tay'shuh(stress the first syllable). I am originally from Zachary, Louisiana...spent 13 years doing radio in Baton Rouge until Dallas called in March of 2005. I am currently off the air,waiting for that right position to come along. ;)********************************************************** * ************************************************************ **********************************************************A guitar played well is my passion. There are many guitarists whom I love, but Randy Rhoads tops the list. It was more than his playing...it was Randy,the person. Below is an excerpt of an interview he did with Guitar Magazine in which he discussed the guitarists that "He" admired. *********************************************************** Randy Rhoads................I have a lot of influences from everywhere. I like a lot of classical music and blues rock. As far as the classical, I just like it. I think it's a real technical thing. I wouldn't call myself an accomplished classical player at all, though. Again, I never had the patience to go through it. I wish I could be good at it.There are many great players. Eddie Van Halen is great--I don't want to get near competing with people like him. I love Allan Holdsworth's playing. He's got a lot of great jazz scales. Andy Summers of the Police is definitely unique. Pat Metheny does some great acoustic stuff. John McLaughlin is technically great, but his is not one of my favorite styles. Leslie West was very important to me. He has a great feel. He is powerful and moody. I like Earl Klugh. Jeff Beck can do anything--he can play one note and it's great. Ritchie Blackmore was great; I loved his expression. I love B.B. King. I like Michael Schenker's and Steve Lukather's playing a lot. I also like Ronnie Montrose, especially with Edgar Winter. I like the way he bends; I could never bend like that. I liked all the English players in the '70s who used a lot of vibrato.But I don't own any rock guitar albums. I listen to a lot of background music that I don't have to think about. I don't listen to music to achieve anything from it. I just listen to relax and be social. Mostly I like mellow jazz and classical. If I'm out in public, I like to hear blaring load rock, but never in my own house. I can't listen to my own records at home.******************************************************* **** This will make your head hurt.:) Check out the awesome bassist Billy Sheehan with guitar god Paul Gilbert (Mr. Big).******************************************************* ****RUSH's YYZ is a favorite of musicians due to the complexity of the timing. This video is a 12 year old girl on drums. Neil Peart would be proud. :)Some of my favorite tunes.;)
************************************************************ **********************************************************TH IS WILL BE ME WHEN I GET MY MASTERS DEGREE IN HISTORY.;) Sam Kinison - Back to School
..********************************************************** * Seriously...at this time in history...when we tend to rethink our dealings with religious terrorists...remember these words from one of our founding fathers.... "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."Thomas Jefferson..................................................F REEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You know,the honest truth is that radio does not pay squat, but it is a fun job...

My Interests

God, Music, Animals, History, Nature...pretty diverse. I chose radio as a career because I love music and I love meeting people. Unlike some in the business, I could care less about the so called "fame" that accompanies being in the public eye...and we all know that the job does not pay anywhere near what people believe. I sometimes wonder why some of the jocks on air chose a profession that focuses on music, when they have no interest or knowledge about the music they play. I like making people laugh, but more than that, I like making them think. I believe the media has conditioned us to sit back and watch without taking part in life itself(see so called reality tv).If I can make someone smile, or inform them of something they care about but were previously unaware, then I have done my job.******************************************************** ***The Most Awesome Band EVER!!!!!! ;)Big Bottoms-Spinal Tap

Add to My Profile | More VideosIn the 80's...the pop stars had "We Are The World"..the Brits had "Don't They Know Its Christmas"...and the headbangers(collectively calling themselves HEAR N AID) had the song below....WE ARE STARS!!!!!!!!!!

Plenty of debate exists over Illegal Immigration. This amuses me because there should be no debate, considering the practice is blatantly illegal. I think the issue is further heated due to the sense ...

Zakk Wylde was right.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Zakk Wylde while doing afternoons at ROCK 93.7 in Baton Rouge. Keep in mind this was before Guitar Hero made its debut, and guitar driven rock was not getting the at...
