Born
just minutes from the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, Bill got his first taste of
radio as a boy scout when the scout leader (an electrician) let him talk to
people across the country on a ham radio! Bill served his country in the Army as
a nuclear weapons inspector & traveled extensively thru Europe - attending lots
of rock concerts (including Jimi Hendrix just weeks before his death). Bill's
radio career has spanned nearly 25 years including jobs as sales rep, newscaster
& on-air talent (his love). Bill's a single dad of a lovely college age daughter
who, in her youth, would actually sleep in the studio while Dad was on the air
working! Bill loves to ski, cook, race bicycles, travel, work with his raku
pottery & hang with his pets - truly a product of the Age of Aquarius!

We don’t know much about Big Tom – he just showed up
at our door one day with a stack of Drifters 45’s under his arm asking for
directions to the nearest diner, and he’s been around ever since. As the host of
Doo Wop Drive, Big Tom gets to play nothing but golden group sounds from the
50’s and 60’s every Friday night from 7 to 10 on WMTR, and he couldn’t be
happier. Well he could, but engineering wouldn’t install a street corner lamp
post in the studio (they were afraid that he would never leave).
Give Big Tom a call at 973-267-WMTR for your instant doo wop request, or drop
him an email at bigtom@wmtram.com for an
e-quest or just to say hi!
