I was a jazz DJ on WPBX (now WLIU) in Southampton, NY for several years before moving on to become a manager of jazz musicians. I have moved on again to go back to my first love, radio. I had the privilege of meeting Frank Sinatra in 1976 as a winner of a William B. Williams radio contest on WNEW in NYC. Mr. Sinatra was charming and very engaging. It was a thrill of a life time. That all explains the concept on which my program is based. There's a small photo of me and Frank on my profile page. It was an experience of a lifetime. Those of you who are Sinatra fans willunderstand my enthisuasm. Enjoy I will be playing some holiday music beginning November 27 to get us all in the mood for a wonderful and peaceful holiday season. A we get into December I will play more holiday music so please give a listen.
