About me:
 Out to prove that tired-and-bitter can be fun!!!
My dense and conflicted life tries, and largely fails, to successfully maintain concurrent careers as an attemptedly-thoughtful pop singer-songwriter, an appropriately-participatory father and husband, and as a musically-savvy-yet-goofy radio traffic reporter guy, complete with pretentious title "Senior Anchor / Director of Programming", for Metro Networks, A Westwood One Company, in Philadelphia. (The "senior" part is just to remind me in case I don't feel quite old and decrepit enough.)
Been on almost all of the Philly radio stations over 25+ years, but currently heard babbling incessant traffic and/or weather weekday mornings on 90.1 FM WRTI, 92.1 FM WVLT, 900 AM WURD and SIRIUS Channel 149, and grousing about management duties the rest of each work day.
Played and recorded with lots o' bands between ages 15 and 35ish, then stopped playing in public to devote time to all of the above, and to occasionally lock myself into small rooms to keep writing and recording. A few recent resulting tracks from such pointless endeavors are posted and available for purchase on my MySpace Music page --
http://www.myspace.com/randychepigan
-- with additional tracks added as they become available. All such silliness may simply be released as individual downloads, or may eventually find its way onto a CD or EP entitled "Delays Major and Minor", sometime in the next few years if all goes well... and really, when has all gone well? Also some various ongoing blog ramblings at the music page. So please stop by there, leave a friend request or comment, etc. Thanks!

Who I'd like to meet:
Oh, now I feel some kind of obligation to answer this just because MySpace deems it necessary to display this line on the page regardless. Um, yeah, just like everyone else says, people with similar musical interests... Y'know, I mean virtually. Who has time to meet anyone in real life anymore?
