In the days after I “parted ways” with Clear Channel Miami, I decided to have a going away BBQ (assuming that my next opportunity would be elsewhere…which it was). So I gathered all the voices I had loved (and/or learned to love) over the past few years and made this audio invite. The BBQ never [...

As we celebrate the kickoff of football season, I reflect upon the following buffoonery that we were somehow allowed to get away with on KDWB circa 1998. My imitation of the yet-to-be retired Pat Summerall in various states of drunkenness hit the air just about every weekend whenever JJ was on. This

I thought about these while I was home in the Twin Cities this year for Conclave 2009. Back In 1999 I put together a demo package in an effort to land the morning show on Cities 97. Perspective helps me now, in that a part-time Saturday night and fill-in guy doesnt equal a morning show. [...]

Just a few quick sweeps for Pop 2K, Sirius|XMs channel for hits “from 2K, til today”. Broadcast on XM 30 or online at SiriusXM.com (subscription required). 4 Sweeps in the player: (Produced w/ Pro Tools)

I liked this one because it acknowledges the limitations of our medium via self deprecating humor and embraces the web (and K3 nailed the read).

The once legendary Zeta now long gone, the online child is still hangin’ around as of this post. With the bosses not wanting to pay a “real” voice guy, I was left with only myself to voice the few sweeps that once ran every handful of songs. The result were these, which later would become [...]

I cant remember if it was out of sheer teen boredom or if we were assigned to make these promos for our host-rotating afternoon show on KBEM. For a short while we were allowed to insert some music of our own choice, making each days show very different from the next. On the days my [...]

The old Quiznos rats were swirling in my mind as I was mulling ideas to promote “Footy’s Wing Ding”, a yearly outdoor multi-artist concert each year in Miami. I think I found the guitar loop on chasecuts and proceeded to lose control. The headliner that year was Lenny Kravitz, so I worked his name i

While I hung out with and chatted with TJ Roberts on a number of occasions, I never got to produce his voice or do anything truly collaborative with him. He was however, a  part of my inspiration to do great stuff on Z104 in DC when both our stations (he was imaging B102.7 in Baltimore at [...]

Just a couple of weeks ago I posted a promo that I had produced for Star 94 in Atlanta (“Sandwich Lady”).  The session I did for that group of promos was the only time I ever worked with Brian James, who unfortunately passed away early this week. I was lucky enough to have laughed, chat [...]
