Johnny, it was a real pleasure chatting with you for this interview. At the time WSVN took off, you were in High School, and I was on air and doing production at WGTR, 97GTR in Miami, home of the Rock and Roll animals, probably the most fun I ever had working in radio. The station flamed out and changed formats in 1990. At the time I was crushed, but it turned out to be a good thing, because it turned me toward the TV work I do now, which turned into a real good move for me. I love Beantown Cuban, and will be checking in on your adventures from time to time. Your new friend in New Mexico, Scott Chapin
