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!

No matter how far you go in your schooling, no matter what level of education you attain, "they" never tell you HOW TO BE A MILLIONAIRE! You can be lucky, clever, in the right place at the right time or maybe, it just takes a lottery ticket! This week's Powerball would do nicely - with a jackpot of $96 million dollars, if you took the cash option payout, after taxes you'd be walking away with $32 million dollars!
Ok, on to the song: "How To Be A Millionaire" was only a Top 20 hit in America for ABC, a "new wave dance band" from the United Kingdom. Other hits of theirs included "The LookOf Love", "Poison Arrow" and a Top 10 hit with "Be Near Me". But tonight, dream a little and ponder how to be a millionaire!
By the way, click here for the video and you'll notice that it uses a different version of the song than what was played on the air. That's because the video uses the original mix that was first released in 1984, and not the "hit" version from 1985.
