About Me

Whattaya wanna know? Tune in to 91.3fm Pittsburgh or streaming at www.wyep.org on Tuesdays from 12am - 4am e.s.t.(5am - 9am g.m.t.) I am yer DJ spinnin the toons. I'll play almost anything. I'll play known artists but not usually their mainstream hits. I also like to feature new, local and overseas artists that commercial radio refuses to play.My real job is a distraction from what's going on in real life, at least for now. All my life is grown up here in Pittsburgh. Not a bad place but nice to get away for awhile, far away like Galway, Larnaca, Cardiff, Chicago...or just a night of karaoke, hockey, ultimate, Guinness...depends on what day of the week it is and always include the rock 'n roll! John Lennon said "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." and I've got big plans...
