Everybody Into the ‘Pool’

After 31 years of broadcasting, I can add another (recurring) title to my resume: Pool Reporter. During President Trump's 17-day "working vacation" -- split between Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ; Trump Tower in New York City and the White House -- I got to be in the rotation to be the radio reporter … Continue reading Everybody Into the ‘Pool’

Does The President Realize What He’s Saying?

Scott literally represented what she has been to my life. Let me be clear. Karen has a husband who … Continue reading Thank You, Babe!

Al Jarreau (1940-2017)

It was what I feared. When I wrote last week that I was saddened that Al Jarreau has suddenly retired from touring, I never expected he would be gone so soon after...but sudden retirements lend themselves to these kinds of outcomes. A co-worker of mine spoke of interviewing Al some years back...and recalled how Al … Continue reading Al Jarreau (1940-2017)
