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.

A Seger Rarity – Today’s Vinyl Vault
Bob Seger's Turn The Page doesn't usually come to mind when talking Seger rarities. It's one of his biggest and most loved hits, if not thee biggest. But that immortal live version was honed from an original studio version, which hasn't been available commercially for years and years...
