SCROLL DOWN for JAY's BIO -
I was born in St. Louis and grew up here, Minneapolis and San Jose, California...a multi-city childhood that prepared me well for the rock band-style, gypsy touring life that is a career in radio.
It's been a blast seeing America by working and living in all quadrants of the USA - I've been to 46 of our states and seen a lot of our amazing country, living and working in places like San Jose/San Francisco, Minneapolis, Seattle, Milwaukee, Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Springfield, IL, Dallas and Charleston, SC. I previously worked in St. Louis radio from 1995-97 when KSD was classic rock - (I think they play Polkas of the Antarctic now).
I came back to StL for good in 2006 to take care of family matters and have been with THE ARCH since June of 2007. It is the most perfect music station I have ever worked for, allowing me to indulge my rawk side as much as my love for pop music. It's my passion to bring all kinds of music to you and to dig around for the fun facts and stories behind the tunes and the people who make them.
I'm really lucky to be on TEAM ARCH, and I really appreciate that YOU listen. Thanks!

On this day, September 14th, 1974 – Eric Clapton made it to the top of the Hot 100 Singles chart for the only time in his career when he hit #1 with “I SHOT THE SHERIFF”, which was part of his 461 Ocean Boulevard album…then considered to be a major comeback for him after recovering from the worst of his drug use, which had him sidelined for over 2 years.
Clapton had become intrigued with the music of Jamaica, known as reggae, and its main musical group, Bob Marley and the Wailers. Clapton’s version of the song gave reggae music a huge boost around the world and exposed it to millions for the first time – so today on the Archives, we thank Eric for his contribution but give the airtime to Bob Marley’s original version of I SHOT THE SHERIFF.
