I chat with Jim Camacho, John Camacho, and Kasmir Kujawa about the history of the band and the upcoming reunion show.

The band mentioned their last show was at Tobacco Road (the oldest bar in Miami that is no more sadly) https://youtu.be/3fl2Pwxxzrg?si=wWHqGoBJ81aluOy8

It's the end of an era. The Rock 'N' Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith - 7/29/1999 - 3/1/2026.  I was lucky enough to be at the Grand Opening of the coaster with the band.

I also was able to incorporate my love for coasters into my broadcasting career, as you'll hear here.

Special thanks to Jeanne, the Disney Queen, for helping me make a final run on the ride.

I speak to one of my first radio colleagues and my first roommate! 

K.C. McCoy and I talk about our friendship and the brutal realities of radio ... all with a stunning backdrop. There's also a (I think, anyway) surprising fact near the end of the cast.

And if you ever find yourself on the coast of Portland, there's a gorgeous 3-story beach house you can rent: https://www.vrbo.com/1152655?dateless=true

I had the privilege to speak to singer-songwriter Burton Cummings. His music has been an integral part of my childhood and my career.

He's playing in the States for the first time in a long time, including Saturday, February 8th, at the Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale.
