I've wanted to do radio since I was a little kid. I joined the staff at 105-FM WWCK in 1977 and stayed until we were all fired in 1988. I then joined Cars 108 WCRZ for ONE NIGHT in 1989. Please don't remind J. Patrick of this. I've worked at various stations ever since, currently afternoons on US1031 WQUS. I also do photography. Check it out on jeffholbrook.com.

The Almighty Zeppelin – Today’s Vinyl Vault

Rarely Heard Nazareth – Today’s Vinyl Vault

Summer Rock For A Summer Day – Today’s Vinyl Vault
I highly doubt whether the word Diesel brings up any memories at all, other than being stuck behind a stinky old semi truck in traffic. Well, there was a band called Diesel that had a pretty big hit during 1981. You may not recognize their name but you may the song, Sausalito Summernight...

‘Hold On’ For Some Cool Yes – Today’s Vinyl Vault
