Yes you’re right, I was better known for my time at XX and at MixJamz I was actually the Music Director and did an airshift as needed. It was a good station for Pittsburgh at the time, but XX was better!

After reading the posts here about Al Patterson aka D.C. Taylor just happen to have one tape of Al in 1994 at station B103 in Long Island at its infancy.He was still doing his bit “whats in my pocket” or pants!!

Good to hear this aircheck. I was fortunate enough to work Saturday into Sunday morning on Mix Jamz. Rich treated me with as much respect as the full time guys. I was a PD at another station during the week and used to “borrow” the idea’s from Mix Jamz

I think I remember Andrea too… didn’t she run the Hot Mix party live from that club on Saturday nights before I went on? Jay usually did the broadcast live and she ran the board. There are several people I love to hear from.. I’m doing mornings at WRFY in Reading, PA. Drop a line when you have time.

And I still use Tony Q’s line – “and your point” on a regular basis.

I hope some of you remember me! I loved working with all of you guys! I was the office manager at Mix Jamz. I really worked for Chris. Jay….remember trying to teach me one line for a promo….so sorry….took me much longer than others….and yes, Andrea, if you are anywhere around please keep in touch…Jay, was surprised to hear about “stepdaughter”! I have one too!!! Tony Q….I’ll always love you! AND Dick Oppenheimer….thanks for giving me the opportunity to work with Mix Jamz…the best of the best!!!!

Thanks for the memories……I was a loyal listener of Mix Jamz and went to WPNIX Night Club in Harmarville every Friday where Mix Jamz would broadcast live for the Friday night dance party. I still love listening to early hip hop and dance music. I will never forget how they changed their format….Not sure what year(maybe someone can help) but I went to bed listening to hip hop and woke up to country music. I was in shock and will always miss the great music and good times at WPNIX!

Always great to hear a piece of the Jamz!
I was a weekend jock there, and occasionally filled in for DC “What’s down my pants” Taylor. Too much fun!
Let’s not forget about Trina, who called in to everybody’s show, and could always be counted on to deliver classic soundbites.
As for Kimberly’s question about the final song, it was “End fo the Road” by Boyz II Men. It ended at midnight Dec 31, 1992. For many, it was the day the music died.

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!
