If I haven't thanked you yet,thanks for all your positive thoughts and kind words following the death of my wife Sandy at the end of June. You can still check out a website where you can learn more about Sandy and leave a message (click here). And you can hear me explaining things on the Marty Riemer Show page. Donations in Sandy's memory can be mad to the Help the Animals Fund at the Seattle Animal Shelter.

What am I doing here?
Well, Job One is to get you out of work and on your way home every afternoon without a road rage incident or a blood vessel bursting in your temple due to the stress of Puget Sound traffic congestion. That's what the Attitude Adjustment Hour is for. Between 5 and 6 p.m. I roll sixty minutes of continuous tunes on The Mountain, and I like to think I pick stuff that sounds extra-good in the car. The only interruption is Marty Riemer's 5:20 Funny -- a few minutes of hilarity just when you need it the most. At the end of the workday, you just keep your hands on the wheel, look out the window at the pretty water, and let me handle the radio.
Job Two is to host the Mountain Music Lounge, and I'm betting you already know what that is, but just in case, it's when musicians drop by the station to chat and play a couple of songs live. Every weekday afternoon at 3:15 there's either a new, live session, or a performance from the archives that deserves another listen. Check here to see who's on the schedule of upcoming sessions. Some of these performances will ultimately wind up on one of our Live from the Mountain Music Lounge CDs, so you're actually hearing history being made.
A few of my favorite things (in no particular order, obviously!): My dogs, music, my scooter, movies, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Lost, Entourage, bicycling, Pilates, cars, The Daily Show, photography, travel, dining out in Seattle, reading, Whidbey Island, writing, Paris, an icy-cold Bombay martini on Friday after work (straight up with two olives!).
Thanks for listening, and if you have any questions, comments, complaints, suggestions, or rants for me, email me or visit me on MySpace. .
