Radio has
always fascinated me, at least the
hardware aspect of it. But becoming
a live on-air DJ was probably the single
most unlikely thing that could have
happened to me. Naturally, being the least
likely thing to happen, it did.
ARCHIVE
Most of my shows I have recorded while on-the-air. I have an archive of these
recordings that you can listen to.

Sadly, most of the recordings from before 2019 have been lost

Rock and Country on my shows. My complete

How it
Happened
Most of my Childhood was spent learning
Music, an activity my Mother and
Grandmother both supported and encouraged.
At the age of 5 they arranged for me to
study Accordion with Maestro Milton Mann
at his music school. I also studied Piano
with one of the Dominican Sisters of
Mission San Jose, while attending Saint
Catherine's Military Academy in Anaheim.
It was while attending St. Catherines that
I met Paul Newman (Local AM station DJ,
not the actor) who was working part time
at the school, and became interested in
Radio. During the early/mid 70's I hung
out with "Humble Harve" Miller and Charlie
Tuna at KKDJ-FM in Los Angeles.
I came to Internet radio just after
Christmas In 2005. I had met the wife of
the owner of Club-69 Radio at a dance
club, who encouraged me to apply to the
station. It took Sandy (and MeowTuna) a
lot of talking to convince me, but I did
audition and was hired by the station.
Club-69 Radio played at several clubs and most
notably was the official radio station of
Furnation. Club-69 Went off-the-air shortly
after the original Furnation closed in Dec of 2009.
World Premiers
One of the cool things about being a Radio DJ is I have contacts
with several record companies and Artists, which have let me
be able to present to my listeners with
world radio premier songs over the years.
You can listen to some of the more recent ones in my

DJ Jitar's Re-Mixes
Like most DJ's I have re-mixed several songs over the
years. Mostly as techno versions of popular songs. My
Decades of Rock shows start with a techno re-mix of
California Dreamin' which I call "I travel
through time." The most popular of my
re-mixes is Anita Ward's "Ring my Bell."
You can hear these (and other) re-mixes on
my shows on occasion.
