Acknowledgements

To my Mom and Dad, who probably thought I was a weirdo kid, but allowed me to turn their basement into a little radio station.

To my 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Eck (I never did know her first name) for encouraging me to pursue a radio career after writing a term paper on the nation's first radio station.

To Andrew Doss, who's love for music equals his love for fiddling with the computer. He takes credit for designing the web site and to Christopher Obuck, who has taken over as Webmaster, doing an outstanding job jumping into the project full steam ahead with much enthusiasm. He maintains all the wacky text/image updates and continues to encourage me to keep the information new and fresh. He also comes up with very creative marketing ideas to promote the site, one of which involves a contest inviting 20 lucky listeners to the Bronx Zoo to see the person who can match wits with the only bird respected in academia, the Pileated Woodpecker. We'll see if I can pull this off! Yaddle! Yaddle! Wackadooooooooo!

To Noodles and Romer, my two dachshunds, who won't stop bugging me while I type this stuff.

and, to all the firefighters, rescue workers and police officers, especially Brooklyn's 76th precinct, for protecting all of us and reminding ourselves that New York city ain't that bad a place to live after all.xt text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text
