Andy's Q & A

Where were you born? Born & raised in a small hamlet in Saratoga County. Lifelong Capital Region resident.

What's the coolest thing about the Great Northern Catskills? Autumn weather & night skies, the great people and there's always something to do.

When you have friends visit the Great Northern Catskills for the first time, what's the one thing you insist they see/do? Understand that things here don't move at a Manhattan pace (thankfully). Slow down and enjoy your time in the mountains.

Favorite Hobby/Pastimes? Radio & the web. Here, I get to do both!

If you could have one superpower, what would it be, and why? Time travel, to see how things in history actually happened.

One song that's the anthem to your life? I'm a Libra, can't decide on just one.

Favorite bands and/or songs growing up? U2, Gordon Lightfoot, AC/DC, Carpenters... pretty wide variety, eh?

Coolest / funniest / weirdest moment of your radio career so far? Remote broadcasts are pretty cool, and funny at times. Can't tell what's weird or not, this is radio after all.

Famous person (living or dead) you'd most like to have dinner with?
 Dead: John F. Kennedy  Living: Ron Paul!

What's your #1 pet peeve? Slow drivers in the fast lane.
