Und hier stellen wir sie vor.Bei uns könnt Ihr zeitlose Klassiker der Musikgeschichte kennenlernen. Oder sie noch einmal neu erleben und sozusagen ein zweites Mal kennenlernen. Ihr erfahrt die Geschichten, die hinter diesen Alben stecken: Wann und wo sind sie entstanden? Was lässt sie hervortreten aus der Menge? Warum sind sie so, wie sie sind?

How did I get here....I worked in radio since High School...WCSQ-FM, onto College at WOCC, to the professional commercial world WKFM, WOSC, WGES, WHEN, WRRB, WPCX, WMBO, WCSP, WMMB, WBVD, WIXC, WHKR. Over the years I noticed that music I enjoyed was not getting played and after leaving the industry for 13 years, I chose to come back and serve the music styles I enjoy and hopefully you will too! The biggest question being asked is "What format is The Music Authority?" And The Answer IS..."Whatever I want to play or whatever my friends and listeners ask for!” Electroma (feat.
