This is my preferred spot on summer evenings. It’s a great end to most days when it gets over 90. I have no air conditioning. And while I’m happy not to pay the electric bill, some days it would be really nice to have. However, I wouldn’t have as many days to enjoy at the… read more

As I scanned my emails this morning looking for local birthday requests, timely musician news and other FM fodder, I came across an email from Tom Fitzsimmons, the station program director. The subject line read “Gazebo Schedule.” Immediately I craved a Treat Street corn dog. The Nevada County Fair is eight days away. The station… read more

I had a more than usual pep in my step this morning while getting ready for work. Over the weekend, the Los Angeles Dodgers paid the San Francisco Giants a visit at AT&T Park for a three game series. What resulted was the Dodgers outscoring the Giants 17 to four, taking a one and a… read more

I am very excited about the fair. It’s something I look forward to every year… but it also marks the end of the summer and the beginning of the school year. I can’t believe how fast this summer has gone! It seems like just a couple of weeks since we worked on the graduation party…… read more

I’m going to make this week’s blog short and sweet. Tonight the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants begin a three game series at AT&T Park. This is the first time the two teams have met this season since a jury awarded Brian Stow $18 million in damages for the brutal 2011 attack by… read more

Last night, for the first evening in weeks, I slept comfortably with the assistance of just a single ceiling fan set to low speed. No late night water glass refills or midnight showers. No panting bulldog or 2A.M. damp t-shirt launch. I awoke this morning feeling like  I hadn’t just spent six hours rotating on… read more

I am so excited!! This is my favorite time of the year! We get to hang out at the fair and give away prizes and broadcast live! It is the hardest we ever work here at KNCO- but it is the most fun! See you out there!

What a trip. After five days in Oahu, Hawaii, we touched down at San Francisco International Airport Monday morning at 5:57 A.M., and I’m stoked to be home…and am VERY sun burnt. Today was my first day back at work with Deana on the FM morning show, and my first work day ever as a… read more

I heard that this was “no big deal”,  of course that came from Tim McGraw’s people. But as he’s strutting down the catwalk amongst fans, one woman reaches out and  grabs his pant leg- and he clobbers her on the side of the head. Watch the video here…… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaDdhZ599lA

Tyler Guenter is an aspiring Olympian- please help him get there!   www.gofundme.com/4uhtjo

Here is the cover for “Against All Odds” from The Postal Service. I think it sucks. Eric loves it…… tell us what you think!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf7ob01yNwA

Our bags are packed…almost! All week around the office my co-workers have been reminding me that the  “countdown to freedom lost” meter is ticking, and that at 9:30 P.M. (California time) on Thursday, July 17th, I will be a willing participant in a small, sunset wedding ceremony with my fiancee Amelia. Dropping our dog off… read more

Here’s a great parody of Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” compliments of Weird Al:   http://www.nerdist.com/vepisode/weird-al-yankovic-gets-tacky-with-pharrells-happy/    

As I sat and watched the World Cup championship match on Sunday between Germany and Argentina, I couldn’t believe how fixated I’d become on a sport I have always considered to be humdrum and inferior. I really caught what the media has been referring to as “World Cup fever.” I also realized after watching hours… read more

I have seen many great parodies of some of the most popular songs on the radio and this one is no exception: A dad’s response to “Rude” by Magic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzyQx6AL1MQ

With less than a week before Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game, neither the San Francisco Giants nor the Los Angeles Dodgers have managed to gain much separation from one another in the National League West. That’s not good for LA fans. Having grown up in Orange County, I have been a Dodger fan for a… read more

A couple of years ago, I saw a movie trailer for “Oz Great and Powerful” and I was DYING to see it! It looked amazing and the color was unbelievable (in the trailer) and found out that it was coming out 8 MONTHS LATER!!!!! Why must they torture me so? Same with “50 Shades of… read more

This week has been a roller coaster of emotions for me and my loved ones. After a sleep deprived few weeks of spinning the wheel of mortality in my mind, throwing all sorts of scenarios against the wall, I finally had my appointment Tuesday at the Placer Center For Health. Doctors examined my esophagus, stomach,… read more

I just read a story this morning about a dispatcher in Marysville who took a 911 call and realized the caller was her husband and the reason he was calling was that her son had just choked on a metal washer….. scary stuff. He ended up clearing his airway and the boy was fine. Which… read more

It seems that most of us have someone to take care of us- if we’re lucky- and I am lucky to have two of the best friends ever. It’s been a tumultuous couple of years and if it were not for them, I have no idea how I could have stayed afloat. They love me… read more
