Special expertise in ALL 1980’s music, New Wave, and Classic Alternative Rock. (I’ve served as a consultant to MTV and VH-1, and major-label 80’s compilations, such as “Totally 80’s 1 & 2” for Geffen Records.)
Thousands of songs available in each genre, and when I have a residency, I change the songs out every week.
I'm a teacher by trade, and a DJ and music collector by hobby. I really, really miss DJing for everybody on Tuesday nights (1993-2001) at the Melody! Sigh.
Oh, well, maybe you'll see me in the NYC area, or be in the audience at one of my standup gigs.

Who I'd like to meet:
Anybody who has a sardonic/sarcastic sense of humor--people who can laugh at themselves, and others...especially others.
