For those of you who don’t know or remember me, I spent seven years at the late, great Radio & Records, working my way up from Assistant Radio Editor to a full-fledged format editor, reporter, columnist and feature writer, as well as contributing heavily to Street Talk Daily. When R&R shut down in mid-2009, I co-founded RAMP (Radio and Music Pros) with Kevin Carter, and, amongst all of that, I also spent some time on-air in Connecticut, Boston and Southern California.
When I was a kid, I convinced my parents to let me wear my WMMR sweatshirt in my school picture. I didn’t really understand the psychology of it then; I just knew I loved the radio station enough to want to wear the logo.
