What happens if I turn this knob??
..in the room where Pink Floyd recorded part of "Dark Side of the Moon"
and the Beatles laid down "Abbey Road."
Name: Charlie Thomas Hometown: Memphis, TN. "The birthplace of Rock n Roll" ..a town very similar to Sactown in many ways..and yet worlds apart. Arrived: Sacramentan since 1984...after 3 years in Chico in small market radio, and 3 years in L.A. hanging at Manhattan Beach...but never learned to surf. Band/Artists: Pink Floyd, U2 and Zeppelin are my favorite bands, but I also rank Peter Gabriel near the top because of the way he's integrated world rhythms and other exotic flavors into his songs. Alma Mater: Princeton University, in my "ivory tower" years...yeah, I knew John Nash (of "Beautiful Mind" fame) and I came to realize that in radio, schizophrenia is actually an occupational advantage. Vacation destinations: Man, there are so many to enjoy right in our own back yard! Skiing at lake Tahoe, wine tasting in Amador county, golfing in the foothills, rafting the south fork, taking a walk around Folsom lake..why go anywhere else??
