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!

Maybe musicians should not write songs to cheer on their favorite sports teams! Prince released a song last week for his favorite football team, The Minnesota Vikings – it was not well received by the fans and it didn’t help, as the Vikings lost to New Orleans in the NFC Championship. See the video and view the lyrics HERE.
On the happier side of things, today is a big anniversary for “His Purple Badness” – it was thirty years ago today on January 26th, 1980, that America got its first look at Prince when performed on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand. The song he played was today’s archive song: “I Wanna Be Your Lover”. See a recording of that performance HERE. Keep watching after "I Wanna Be Your Lover" ends and see what a difficult time Dick had with the interview. The bonus is the band going into another song called "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?"
