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.

Flaming Rivers and Dancing Skeletons – Todays’ Vinyl Vault!
80's week continues on the Vinyl Vault with Chris DeBurgh's eerie hit Don't Pay The Ferryman. You may recall it all over MTV in 1982 and an occasional spin on rock radio around Halloween time ever since. The spooky tale relates the story of an old hooded reaper-like character that boats lost souls across a river and demands they pay in advance because of a storm coming...
