YAHOO: OffTheCharts365
Hello!    I'm a former radio jock from the 80's and 90's (WHFB-FM, Benton Harbor, MI and WJTW-FM, Joliet/Chicago, IL), a "retired" mobile DJ and an active hobby 45RPM record collector.

Over my life, I'm guessing I've collected over 150,000 45's, or more, in addition to thousands of albums and CDs - and I still actively go to record swaps and shows several times a year.

I'm a "lifelong Chicagoan" (born and raised there), but currently living outside Columbus, Ohio.   I'm 51, married and have one daughter, a dog, cat and a mortgage.    In my real life, I work at a Investment firm.

With so many hobby stations playing the same Top 40 70's, 80's, classic rock, album tracks, disco and "deep cuts" (and there's nothing wrong with that), I decided to make use of my record collection and my chart knowledge to create a new kind of 45 RPM vinyl-record based radio station.    The result is OffTheCharts!

Thanks for visiting my profile and I hope you enjoy this different 70's (and some 80's) station I've put together.
Favorite Albums

Joe Jackson - Any album/CD
One of the most diverse singer/songwriter/performers I have seen in concert several times.

Todd Rundgren - Any album/CD
Another widley diverse writer, singer, producer, and performer I've also seen in concert.

Thomas Dolby - Any album/CD
Pushes the edge with synthesizers, sound loops and other great production elements.

Phoebe Snow - Any album/CD
One of the best voices you will hear! Listen to her hold a note on her songs. Diverse Folk, R&B, pop, etc.

Alan Parsons Project - Any album/CD
Again, another diverse artist featuring different music styles and guest vocalists.
