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!

Today (Friday 10/9) would have been JOHN LENNON’s 69th birthday. It’s also a birthday for his second son Sean (by Yoko Ono), who is 34!
Today for the archive, YOU got to pick the song – any Lennon song – solo or with the Beatles. I opened up the voting at 3:15 and took voted for the next hour. A total of 11 songs were voted on, and the top three vote getters were:
#9 Dream – 15%
Imagine – 19%
And the winner….
INSTANT KARMA, with 26% of the votes. Playing along with John on this song were George Harrison on guitar, Billy Preston on piano, and Alan White (who later joined Yes) on drums.
