When I was about 10 years old someone teased my parents and said, “That kid was vaccinated with a Victrola needle”, meaning I talked a lot. Given my Irish heritage, I was told it was something to be proud of. “You have a gift for the gab”.

Welcome, Jack Allen
Co-author’s welcome: I don’t want to steal any of Jack’s thunder, so I’m just going to say a few words and then get out of the way. Jack is one of those people I turn to for wisdom and advice. He is on the ground doing the actual work of running a station which makes his perspective invaluable. Besides that, he’s an engaging raconteur, a deep thinker, and exactly the kind of leader who can rescue and reinvent classical music radio. With that, here’s Jack’s opening post, with my gratitude. ~ Marty Ronish
