I have been at WKDQ for 13 years and have loved every minute of it. My career started in Southern California and I arrived in Evansville in 1994. I have three children that keep me very busy and the rare opportunity to go out and not have a six foot mouse serving your table is a rare and welcome treat. I love motorcycles and classic country and even host the WKDQ Country Classics show every Saturday from 6-10am. If I can I can ever play a song for you, let me know at wkdq.com.

One-Man A Capella Version Of The Star Wars Theme Is Amazing [Video]
Star Wars is as opular today as it was in the '70's and some of the biggest fans of the series were not even born when it all began a long time ago in a movie theater far, far away.
