I was born the same year rock and roll was in Toronto General and educated in the streets of Scarborough (that should explain a few things). Music has always been a part of this fella's existence from the first time I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, the Beatles record I bought to DJ a school dance (Hey Jude/Revolution), to the first Frank Zappa album (Absolutely Free) given to me for my 13th birthday (which my parents listened to, to make sure it wasn't obscene …it was, they didn't quite understand how so they let me listen to it anyway). They somehow realized it was the work of a music prodigy and it was only obscene if you didn't get the joke. Thank gawd they did.

I started out 30 years ago listening to Q107 from the moment we signed on in 1977. At the time, I was a founding member of CKLN campus radio at Ryerson on air discovering new bands like The Clash and Sex Pistols and interviewing local bands like Crowbar and David Clayton Thomas. Music was just too important in my life to ignore so from very early on in my broadcasting career decided I wanted to work at Q107 play tunes from classic bands and discover new ones. Despite a five-year reprieve ... it's like I never left.
