About The Author:
My Bio? Who am I and what have I done, is that what you want to know? OK let's see...First of all, I'm just a nice girl from St. Louis, born and raised.
I went to SLU thinking I wanted to be a surgeon, then I had to disect a toad in biology and changed my major!
I transferred to Mizzou and started to study Broadcast Journalism at one of the best schools for Journalism in the country (yeah, I like to toot my own horn sometimes)
After I graduated I found out that hard news was really not my THANG. I like Entertainment, Gossip and plain old trashy news! It is so much fun to find out what trouble Paris Hilton has gotten herself into isn't it? I TOTALLY KNOW!
So I came back to St. Louis when all of my friends were getting their new careers started in small markets. I hosted an entertainment TV show in St. Louis for a bit.
THEN Somehow I met someone in the radio biz, I think it was at a bar (see, partying helped my career!) and thought it would be kind of cool to be able to wear jeans to work every day because you can't see me when I'm on the radio! (ha ha!)..
I did traffic reports for a few radio stations, then met someone from the Steve and DC show and eventually became a personality on their show and then the executive producer.
I came with them to 101.1 The River, then it changed to Movin and I got hired back as a weekend DJ, then Movin changed and now I'm on 106.5 The Arch on the weekends.
I am also a Producer at Show Me St. Louis on KSDK during the week!
So I have my foot in the radio door and the TV door. I love both jobs so much and feel very blessed that I get to do both!
Thanks for learning about me! I'm grateful you took the time to read my bio! :

Today's lesson is just one of those songs that feels good on a rainy night like tonight. “Midnight Train to Georgia” by Gladys Knight & the Pips. It was the number one song for 2 weeks, this week back in 1973.
This song was written by Jim Weatherly, he says it came about after a phone call that he had with Farrah Fawcett. Lee Majors was a friend of his and he was dating Farrah at the time. When he called his friend Lee one night Farrah answered and said she was packing to take a midnight plane to Houston. The phrase just stuck with Jim and he sat down and wrote the song in 30 minutes.
