When Dave Ramirez was a kid, he used to tune in to Dr. Don Rose on 610 KFRC in the Bay Area. "I would record his shows on cassettes," Dave says, "Then I'd go back and dub my voice in.

Dave's been broadcasting here, first on Jazz After Hours and then as co-host with Mal Sharpe on Back on Basin Street for the last ten years. He has the dubious distinction of starting his first on-air shift on Halloween, 1998, and remembers his first tune was, "Untitled Blues," by Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. "I faint." And when the first back-announce because I was sweating, light-headed, and so nervous I thought I would faint." And when there's no one in the studio besides you, no one can hear you scream - well, except the 200,000 listeners!
