Willie McDonagh DJ Profile

"To all of you who remember the genuine pleasure that used to be imparted by the weekly 'band concert' in the old home town there must be a little shiver of enjoyment in the increasing number of bands now to be heard on the radio." - Quin A. Ryan, Chicago Daily Tribune, Jul. 11, 1926

I grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and went to school in Minnesota, where I DJed for my college station. My musical interests include lonesome guitar pickers, fresh classical music, and fiery crooners.
