Bio

I'm a cobbler by trade and have been in business for myself in Chico the last twenty years.
I've been studying pre-war blues for nearly twenty years and it seems like I've just scratched the surface of this beautiful art form.
I continue to be fascinated by this music and it's history.
Baseball both old and new is a favorite pastime. HUGE Dodger fan.
also BIG A's fan. I love affiliated minor league baseball as well. Just a old baseball crank!

What does community radio mean to you?

It means just that "community" you can get involved with this station, it is yours.
We need to keep this little bit of non corporate radio alive and realize how lucky we are to be able to cover a large area with independent music, news and views.

How did you discover KZFR?
saw ad in the Chico Natural Foods newsletter.
Why do you listen to KZFR?
diversity, independent news, music you won't hear elsewhere.
When do you listen to KZFR?

My favorite shows include Sui Juris, American Pastimes, and all the blues & Jazz programs
