the times you can't forget and
the stories you
never knew"

What others are saying!
"I
just listened to your doo wop C groups UOS! Man, I've got to tell ya,
I've been doing oldies shows since I was 13 years old (22 years) and
you have a FABULOUS show! I mean it's really SOLID! Your delivery is
informative, w/o being too 'booky' and it's fun w/o being too 'cooky'.
It's truly the perfect mix. I loved the history of 'Speedo' that you
told. Very nice." ~ Matt the Cat, host 'Juke in the Back'
