About The Author:
I'm relatively new to the Arch family, but I have been apart of the radio & media industry since the late 80's after graduating from Lewis & Clark Community College in 1985, with a degree in Radio Broadcasting. My wife Holly and I have 3 wonderful little girls: Grace, Mercie and Hope...and yes, those really are their names!I have had a love for radio since I was quite young; debuting my voice talents in my bedroom, playing records and announcing each song (and driving my parents crazy!). My appreciation for great music was natural, as I grew up listening to my older siblings albums, like The Who, The Beatles, Grand Funk Railroad, and KISS. By my mid-teens, KISS became my band of choice, and I began collecting everything they recorded...I'm quite proud of my collection of rare, limited edition items.
My love for music turned me into a concert enthusiast; taking in artists such as Styx, Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, The Rolling Stones, and of course KISS. Van Halen was my first concert in 1980..for only $8.50!!! Back in those days, I even trained myself to play the drums - even made it into a band for several years - my candy apple red Pearl drumset is still a prized possession.
My on-air experiences have taken me across several formats including Country, Christian & Sportstalk. And now 25yrs after I started this career path, I'm thoroughly enjoying being apart of the top station in St. Louis...106.5 ~ The Arch!
12 Days of Christmas Costly??

With the holidays approaching, according to CNBC.com, buying the 12 Days of Christmas will cost a whopping $87,403 this year, a small increase from last year. The price is up a mere $794, or less than 1 percent, from $86,609 last year.
The main driver behind the higher cost is that the price of gold has increased bringing the five gold rings up $150 to $500. Nine ladies dancing, at $5,473 per performance, is the most expensive. Next in line are the seven swans a-swimming at $5,250. The costs for the 10 lords a-leaping ($4,414 per performance), 11 pipers piping ($2,285 per performance) and 12 drummers drumming ($2,475 per performance) remained the same as last year. Don't think you will save some buying online.. the price is about the same, the only savings will be shipping costs...depending on how you ship the partridge in a pear tree!!
It's probably best just to give the songs as the gift...it might cost you a couple dollars..Happy shopping!!!!
