Morning Drive
From the day he was born Matt always knew we wanted to be around music. At 3 years old he sat for hours in front of his family's beat-up record player, listening to his older siblings' various rock and soul records.

Weeknights 7P – Midnight
My exposure to varying music styles came from my Brooklyn summer camp’s “boom box” which alternated between all things Rolling Stones and Frankie Smith’s “Double Dutch Bus” (I still know the words…) Most identified with their music and lifestyle, I remained happily neutral. Both the rockers and the hip-hop junkies were my friends.
1986. The Mets win the World Series and along comes, “Licensed To Ill”. The Beasties were Brooklyn and made music that screamed my music sensibilities. Sure, the novelty of knowing all the words to “Paul Revere” eventually faded, but it certainly helped pass the time riding the ...
