15 years ago my brother, Tom, was teaching a course in radio here at the SFCC and worked at the KSFR radio station. It was coming on to winter and he asked me if I could fill in for a couple DJ's who were taking a winters break. I've been a record collector since the late 50s and had a little experience sitting in with a friend on his show "Cracker Barrel" at a college station in St Louis.So before long I had 3 shows going that winter 15 years ago, blues,jazz,and a R&R show ,but I really liked the idea of a "Blue Monday" 7-9 ( no more late nights).I love being a part of KSFR and really enjoy producing shows that are a little different than the usual 'oldies shows'. Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico have a wonderfully diversified listening audience who support the unique programing.

One day in April of 1996 my friend Greg Miller asked me to give him a ride to the KSFR Board meeting. So I went along and hung out on the side during the meeting. Then after the meeting the chairman of the board came over and we met and started talking and discussing music. He asked me if I had ever done any radio. At that time I had recently sat in with Jack Kolkmeyer doing the World Beat show on KBAC Radio. Then he asked me if I would like to have my own show on KSFR Radio. And that sounded exciting. By the time I got the first show on the air it was the last weekend of May in 1996.
