Profile Information:

Pittsburgh Connection: Born and raised! Moved to Boston in 1981. Now in Maine.
Favorite Pittsburgh musicians/performers: My days in Pittsburgh ended in 1981 when I moved to Boston, but I enjoyed listening to Eric Koss, Flo Cassinelli, Reid Jaynes, Spider Rondinelli on the left-handed drums (LOL).
Favorite Jazz Radio or media station: There are many, but way back I hung around WYEP in the garage at Cable Place. I became friendly with Buck Bryce, Saxy Williams, Amir Rashid, Wesley Goodman, and Kevin Amos. I really miss those days hangin' out with all of them.
Favorite Pittsburgh Jazz Venue: Back then the venue of choice was the Encore in Shadyside. I spent many evenings in the dead of winter as virtually the only customer at the bar. Eric Kloss and group would play 2 sets just for me. in between we would chat and drink. I would often lead Eric upstairs to the back hall by the payphones where he was more comfortable just practicing his sax until the break was over, then back to the bandstand.
About Me:: A jazz fan of many years. I still listen to radio tapes I made from WYEP and WDUQ back in the late 70's. The music sounds as good as ever. Thanks to Saxy williams, I eventually took up tap dancing because, as Saxy said, "its better fuh ya than joggin' and its mo fun too." I still tap dance at age 63 and now live on an island in the great state of Maine. Friend me on facebook as doc breyer
