What are your hobbies?
Antique radios (figures, I’m in radio), reading and movies (especially history and space exploration… I love Apollo stuff… favorite film is Apollo 13… about the only one I can watch over and over.)

3 things we need to know about you are:
Well, if you don’t mind, how about a couple things I’m really proud of? My son, Trevor, who’s a hard working guy and just starting a family; and my private pilot’s license.

What is the last book you read?
The Last Man on the Moon, Eugene Cernan
What would you find in your refrigerator right now?
Diet Coke, Corona Light, a couple of limes, and Healthy Choice meals (trying to lose weight!)

If somebody gave you an elephant, what would you do with it?
Who came up with these crazy questions!?!

Worst job you ever had?
Worked in a butcher shop when I was a kid… uggh! But I know how to pick out a great steak.

What’s one thing you cannot go a day without?
Something sweet to eat!

What’s waiting for you on your DVR?
Nothing. I just turn the tube on and ‘go around’ with the remote control. If I see something that looks good I stay there for a while. Until the commercials. There are way, way too many commercials! And I hate when they turn up the volume on the commercials! Maybe I should use a DVR!

Favorite concert you’ve seen?
Oh, that’s a tough one… have to be Paul McCartney where I was about 50 feet from the stage. No… James Taylor… he’s great… I’ve seen him a few times. Or maybe the Doobie Brothers, yah, that’s it. Oh, wait… I’ve got it! This is the one… it was seeing my son’s band, when he was a teenager, open up for Leslie West and Blue Oyster Cult. I couldn’t have cared less about Leslie and BOC… but seeing Trev singing on stage… now that was a proud dad moment for me! By far, my favorite concert!

What’s the best part of your job?
I get to play music for a living! How great is that!? And all the free food!! (seems to be a theme about food here… I know… look, just stop bringing in the cookies and cakes and donuts and pastries! I can’t resist!)
