Always looking for a joke...never finding one...

About Me

I'm me. As long as you're you, it works.

Ok, a little more...

I produce rock radio shows...interviews, band acoustics, countdowns and live concert broadcasts for network radio. Much of my day is spent recording and editing in the studio, but I am also responsible for the operation and maintenance of all the studios in our broadcast complex.

I started as a radio DJ, back in the "Top 40" days (yeah, I know...), and today I listen to all sorts of different music.

I also read random novels, construct crossword puzzles, talk on the phone, and occasionally sleep. I am one of the luckiest people I know, because I still love the work I do after all these years, and producing cool audio is a blast.

You can ALWAYS message me if you're curious, interested, interesting, or just wanna chat!

Love, death and memories

This week started off with news of the death of Barry, a friend and mentor.  He died of a very fast-acting form of leukemia, having been diagnosed just a few months ago. There was a mem...

Why I have been non-existent, or "Fighting Tooth & Kneel"

So I'm finally having the broken tooth/teeth replaced, which means $5000 down the drain.  Fine; I knew it had to be done sooner or later. What I didn't expect was to have problems with my ri...

Don't chew on hard things!

So I'm sitting at the audio console today, recording the host of a music special we're doing...and I'm idly chewing on the end of a pen during the takes. All of a sudden, I hear and feel a "CRUNCH" - ...
