I am from New Castle, PA 
My occupations included:

• grade school teacher
• building principal
• therapeutic activity aide for the mentally challenged

I started following music at age ten while trying to hang with my older brother and his friends on the front porch of the house next door.  Because I was ten and they were sixteen they wouldn’t like my staying on the porch. What they didn’t know was I would hide in the shrubbery around this porch and listen to this great music of the day:

• Elvis
• The Platters
• Chuck Berry
• Fats Domino
• etc.

I then began listening to radio stations like KDKA in Pittsburgh, WHOT in Youngstown, Ohio and WKST in New Castle, PA. I have continued this love affair with music ever since .
