In my spare time, I listen to music (I have a large CD and vinyl record library). I walk, and I work out at the gym. I enjoy books with cool characters and clever plotlines (Stephen King, for example). And, I'm turning my dirtbike into an on-road motorcycle. So look out, here I come! Feel free to visit The Night Shift's Facebook page for lots of album covers and other cool stuff as a companion to the show.

Back then, there was no "instant access" to artist and music news via the internet.
What's an ... internet?
MTV was (still) the place to go for videos...

Craig Allen’s Neighborhood Tractor Race Results

It's the neighborhood social event of the year...the "Pre-Race" party on the deck...

Here at New Jersey 101.5, we ROCK out to great songs from the 70's and 80's (and an occasional song from the 90's, too).
And while most of our favorites were "new" songs at that time, some of those faves were "re-makes." Earlier hits, brought back to the pop charts and airwaves, re-made and re-imagined by contemporary artists...
