What I call “laughin’ and scratchin’, I’ve been doing a long time. I grew up in Chicago, and the long and winding road of radio brought me to Kalamazoo in January of ‘87. Had an awful lot of fun at one special radio station, next door, but like Tom Brady, let’s see what we can do here. Both my sons were born here.

Watching Video Of Muskegon’s Demolition And Comeback is Fun
I don't know all that much about Muskegon. I've been there three times. I drove a friend there for a job interview in an industrial area. I went with another friend to a wedding at a bowling ally, and in between took my boys to see Alice Cooper at the Summer Celebration in 2006.
Detroit Red Wings’ Yzerman Brings Lidstrom On-Board As Vice-President
