Paul Kramer on Mix Jamz 100.7 WMXP Pittsburgh | April 11, 1990
Oh yes, this is short, but if you go back 16 years, believe it or not… hip hop was in it’s infancy, and very much mixed in with mainstream R&B. And, this is what it sounded like…

Wow… Man this station kicked ass…. RIP Mix Jamz
THIS STATION WAS AWESOME I WISH THERE WAS ANOTHER STATION LIKE IT EVEN THE DJ KICKED ASS
Mix Jams. Wow, so many memories 17 years later. Great D.J.’s Great music. I used to spend overnights at the 100.7 studios back in the day. I remeber that it was in Millvale and next to a bowling alley. I’m trying to locate Andrea who was a d.j. but I don’t think she used her real name. Her real name is Andrea. i don’t remember her radio name. If anyone knows who i’mtalking about please let me know.
Thanks
Michael B.
I remember being at my grandmas house on the north side (brighton road) with my red walkman…..listening to the very last song ever played on mix jamz….i must have been in the 5th grade….soooo nostalgic…everything…the house..grandmother…walkman….the station….anyone remember the name and artist…day and time of the last song??? i’d love to know….i think it was very late at night…maybe 1am or so…
My stepfather was one of the DJ’s on 100.7 back in the day. Jay Silver was his DJ name. He’s still DJ’ing.
The first DJ on this air check is Alan Patterson, who was known as D.C. Taylor when he did nights at Mix Jamz. Before that, he was in Harrisburg as Bubba B. Badd. Paul Kramer never had a regular shift at Mix Jamz. He was a swing-shifter/weekender. Paul was better known from his time at WXXP - Double X. I used to do bits and parody songs for the morning show, as well as the V.O. intro for Jay Silvers when he did afternoon drives at the station.
Now that I think about it, Paul’s last name is spelled Cramer. Sorry, Paul.
Nice to hear a bit of my old buddy D.C. Taylor.
Thanks to all the people who remember us! D.C and I have worked together in Ocean City Maryland at 100KHI, Pittsburgh at MIX JAMZ 100.7 (our favorite ever!) and WIRK in West Palm Beach Florida. We miss our old buddies: Rich Hawkins, Bill Webster, Jay Silvers, Mark Anthony, Dan Simon, Vicki Cohill, and all the others! We all too thought it was the greatest station ever! Thank you all for listening! Tony Q. Foxx
I loved this station! I actually have a casette recording of the last few nights when it was on the air when DC Taylor (I think it was him) played nothing but TV Tunes for like 48 hours straight! Well, those and “Rumpshaker”, and “I will always love you” by Whitney Houston. He told everyone he got fired for playing the same two songs over and over again the previous night.
I recorded it on and off until they switched over to country with the first song of “Friends in Low Places” by Garth Brooks. I think I almost cried when that happened as I hated country with a passion back then! 
There are still bumper stickers for it displayed around town if you know where to look. 
Thanks for posting this! 
Nice to know Mix Jamz is still remembered. Some of the best times I’ve had in radio. I’m still lucky enough to be in Pittsburgh working at Sheridan Broadcasting and doing voice over work for radio and tv stations around the country. DC Taylor and I still get together, he is working in New York. Rich Hawkins is somewhere running a Clear Channel radio cluster in or outside of Los Angeles, Bill Webster was at Alice in San Francisco. Tony playing country music…There are a lot of good stories to be told.
Thanks for all the good memories!
Jay Silvers
