Allow Me to Introduce Myself

It’s great to be back on Buffalo radio as "The Dean of Rock" playing the music that would define the soundtrack of my life.

My first rock album was a Christmas gift from my parents, Quiet Riot’s, "Metal Health." I was 13 years old and it quickly became my Beatles "White Album." From there it was anything that was loud.

In the Cheektowaga summer of 1984, I would sit inside for hours just to catch the latest rock video.

I remember giving  KISS’ "LOVE GUN" album to a friend and having his mother quickly confiscate it. After all, we were just 14 years old.

Trading AC/DC albums, returning cans and bottles to buy Poison's "Looked What The Cat Dragged In" album only to have me and my friends realize they were guys. Carrying around a 20-pound boom box cranking Motley Crue, and buying the 1984 Van Halen promotional poster at the Super Flea, that still hangs in my room to this day.

This music was a big part of me growing up, and even though I never learned to play, I can air drum with the best of them.

The music, the artists, and the memories that is what this station means to me.

• What was the one album that changed your musical trajectory?
• What song takes you immediately back to great times?
• What band have you seen more than some family members?

We all share that life experience and I have big plans and ideas for entertaining and sharing everything with you.

I will be setting up the ROCK SHOP Monday through Saturday 10 am - 3 pm, right here at this station.

Whether you are working or relaxing, I appreciate you listening.

Be Good, Behave, Be Safe.
