Meet the man behind the mic, Buffalo Music Hall of Fame disc jockey Jim Santella on Saturday, December 12, at 1:00 pm. at the Talking Leaves Main Street store, not far from the UB South Campus where his career took off decades ago.

Santella will be signing copies of his new book, Classic Rock, Classic Jock and talking about his long and distinguished career in Buffalo radio, from the progressive days through his years before retirement hosting blues and Theater Talk on public radio station WBFO. In his new memoir, Santella takes you on a wild, decades-long radio rollercoaster ride. From rock ‘n roll to R&B, from country to the blues, Santella played it all. Head backstage with him to meet many of the greats he interviewed, from Joan Baez to Jackson Brown, from David Bowie to Donald Fagan. Go from Woodstock to WBFO and back with the “father of progressive radio in Buffalo.”
