Another Professional Musician Tries His Hand At GTA Radio

Randy Bachman has done it (and is still at it.)

Kim Mitchell spent years on Q-107.

And now another musician is throwing his hat into the radio ring, although he's hardly a household name. Broadcast Dialogue reports that Cone McCaslin of SUM 41 is doing a weekly show for 94.9 The Rock in Oshawa. "Cone's Cave" will air Sunday nights and will feature a mix of heavy metal, garage rock and punk. It starts April 17th.

Let's not overlook Robbie Lane, who has been doing it even w/o a Disciple in AM 740's studio

Yes, another good example. Although is he still playing gigs?

Let's not forget grand pianist Daniel Vnukowski and violinist/violist Kathleen Kajioka both hosting at
classical 96.3 FM.

We have a few examples across the lake - Scott Regan, the mid-morning "Open Tunings" host at WRUR 88.5, is part of the local band Watkins and the Rapiers here in Rochester, and WXXI-FM 91.5 has several very talented classical musicians as fill-in hosts, including the singer Kearstin Piper Brown.
