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.

Rarely Heard Frampton – Today’s Vinyl Vault
Hey Peter Frampton fans! We're into the 1975 self titled "Frampton" album today with one of those things that the live album popularized. I'll Give You Money has since been a fan fave and is still played at many Frampton shows now...

Wizards and Magic – Uriah Heep in Today’s Vault
Uriah Heep makes a rare appearance on the Vinyl Vault today with a fan fave called The Wizard. It's from 1972's Demons And Wizards, one of their biggest albums, finding the boys in acoustic mode. This band enjoyed massive popularity in the early to mid 1970's but just didn't have the staying power that other like-minded bands did - Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Yes and so many others...

In ‘Pursuit’ of a $25 Gift Card!
That's right, $25 worth of Walmart just for figuring out today's set of song lyrics. I'll have them at 4:15pm and if you're the first one to correctly identify them by artist and title, you WIN! Who can't use a $25 Walmart gift card...
It’s a Revival on The Vault! – Classic Allman Brothers
Fans of the Allman Brothers Band can't miss today's Vinyl Vault track, a rare spin on the hippy dippy Revival, an early thing from their second album in 1970. The band was still finding its chops so this track is a great sample of their progression from southern tinged pop rock to one of the greatest southern blues rock acts ever...
More Cool Stuff on Lyrical Pursuit!
I'll be looking for you this afternoon around 4:15 with another set of lyrics from a song - if you can tell me the artist and title you'll win a pretty cool gym bag, much like the one shown! Hey, not bad for free. Let's thank our friends at Yoplait Light for being on board as well...
Rarely Heard Doors – Today’s Vinyl Vault
Doors fans can't miss the vault today! The often requested Peace Frog is today's deep track, coming from the album "Morrison Hotel", one that many fans consider their best, including me. Even though Roadhouse Blues was the only popular track on it, it's filled with gems that had the band moving in a more bluesy direction...
In ‘Pursuit’ of Microwave Cooks!
Lyrical Pursuit could get you a very cool LaCuisine 18-piece microwave cookware set if you correctly decipher the lyrics. Are you one of those folks that can make an entire dinner using only a microwave oven? If so, or not, c'mon by around 4:15pm and give it a try...
A ‘Touch’ of AC/DC – Today’s Vinyl Vault
Many AC/DC fans seem to prefer the earlier, raunchier Bon Scott material as opposed to anything they've done since his unfortunate death. Nothing against Brian Johnson mind you, who helped convert the act into superstar status, but his constant screech is just a bit much for me...
A Good Burglar is a Dead Burglar
All's well that ends well, I say. A bonehead burglar in South Carolina died falling down a flight of stairs in the home he had broken into, reports the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office this past week.
It’s All Greek To Me – Until…
The results of a heated argument are shown here between some radical Greek political figures. And we think our politicians act like boneheads! Incidentally, the guy doing the smacking at the end is being hunted down like a dog over there...
