site is updated for this weekend's radio show, which happens to be my 17th anniversary broadcast . . . I've been doing radio shows since I was a teenage . . . the first of these, "The Sports Page Show," I did in my mind, on my morning paper route, long ago Connecticut years . . . then I was on the radio station at my old college for awhile, learned how it got done with a studio . . . then my current show was created in 1999 for Radio Free Cambridge, & then moved to Allston-Brighton Free Radio . . . till it landed in 2003 at SpiritPlants Radio . . . it's pretty much what it's always been, just more as time goes on . . . I'm so happy it on goes . . .
