Started in radio in 1968 as a Teen DJ in Buffalo NY on WYSL-FM. A 100,000 watt station doing 'underground' format. Continued at the WBFO the State University at Buffalo.
.
Videographer by day with my company EMA Video Productions - and Folk Music DJ when ever I can.
Playing mostly contemporary folk and singer-songwriter music from the 60s to present day.
It's unfortunate that the great music from the 60s does not get much play anymore. Artists like Tom Paxton,Doc Watson,Pete Seeger,Peter Yarrow, Ian Tyson,Gordon Lightfoot, Donavon and Joni Mitchell (just to name a few) had something to say and said it so well through music.
I feel so fortunate to be able to share my music tastes with the Portland Community here on KBOO.
