Sometimes people think for a native New Yorker (born in Bayshore, Long Island) that I have a funny accent. Here's how that happened, I moved to Southern California by the time I was ready for kindergarden and did my schooling thru 1st year college there and then ran as fast as possible back to New York soon as I was 18 years old.
Some think it was because at the time you could drink and party in New York at 18 (even though that's different now) and in California it was always 21. Maybe that had something to do with it because after all I was dubbed "The Only DJ with a License to Party" years ago. Actually it was because I missed it. My Brothers were born in Los Angeles so that will always be their first home. Not true for me. I've been back here ever since I became legal and I love the entire Tri State area. There is so much to do.
I've been at all the rock stations in New York at one time or another and some of the deejays here have been at some of those other stations with me. We're like Gypsy deejays. Always considering each other family as we kick out the jams to you where ever we are. And if you listened for a long period of time, well you're family too!
