The ROCK of Erie!
At one of the many parties we threw at Sherlock’s in downtown Erie. I probably look guilty because we weren’t allowed to drink during remotes there.
Rocket 101 – WRKT-FM
Afternoon Drive Air Personality (DJ)

Fired for playing a Stevie Ray Vaughn Fourplay instead of the CCR fourplay that was scheduled by the computer. That firing changed the course of my career and life.

I will be adding to each section as I convert more cassette and reel-to-reel tapes to a digital format.
In January of 1990, I thought I made the move that would eventually bring me back to Cleveland. This job eventually led me out of radio. But I had fun while I was there. Not only did I, as Tommy Edwards, command the second largest afternoon drive audience in Erie (#1 in one book), I also hosted a cool weekend show called Homegrown 101. As the Afternoon Drive DJ at a medium market station I had the opportunity to interview some big names in entertainment. A few in studio and several over the phone. Why Tommy Edwards? That was the name of music store in Cleveland owned by the Ramboldo family. WRKT was owned by Rick Ramboldo and he always wanted his Record Store on the air.
