About me:
In a nutshell, I'm a New Yorker who moved to Toronto in 2001 to marry a Canadian named Rocky J. Squirrel. For several years we've been occasionally co-hosting Dementia 13, our pal Christian's '60s radio program, heard every Tuesday at 7 p.m. EST on CIUT 89.5 FM (http://www.ciut.fm). Now we're invading the airwaves on a weekly basis via our own show, Real Cool Time (Tuesdays at 6 p.m. EST--realcooltime@sympatico.ca). Podcasts and playlists are available at http://realcooltimeradio.blogspot.com . In spare moments I write a blog on extinct New York City rock & roll landmarks, available at http://streetsyoucrossed.blogspot.com . Dig it!!!
|
Who I'd like to meet:
Cool, decent folk from all over. Rock and roll hang-out buddies in the Toronto and NYC areas as well.
