Aside from my life-long obsession with pop music I am also a bleary-eyed, closet Cinephile. I’m a sucker for a historical drama, or an action film or cleverly scripted comedy especially on a lazy Sunday afternoon when
the best that television can offer is mindless tripe like ‘Flip Your Spouse’, ‘Lose Weight or Die’ or the sermon of some ratbag preacher who is pick-pocketing the elderly through the very television itself. But I digress…

When I first started in radio in 1964 at CJCA in Edmonton (while still attending school), then, in February of 1965, being hired at CHUM Toronto, the station I’d dreamed of working for since I was 13 years old, I never for one second, ever imagined I’d become a professional rock and roll interviewer. Of course, that was and is only part of what I did and continue to do.
