GLENN RICHARDS – Schools Of Rock

Another trip down Memory Lane for me with one of my fellow radio junkies! His journey began as a student and Air Personality at “The U” of Miami and now finds him at Rock104.com in Gainesville. We recall stops at South Florida’s legendary WSHE, 94-9 Zeta and K102 among others. He’s also taught Rock ‘n Roll courses at the University of Florida and knowing his retention of rock history I’d assume he pulls the entire syllabus from the top of his head. Find compelling articles and more posted on his facebook page while you listen.

A fascinating background and heartfelt honesty portrayed vividly in his music make him truly timeless and unique. He shares a pair of new songs as well as “Avenging Annie”, the 1973 track that cemented him in rock history. Catch up with Andy on MySpace and browse his expansive catalog at itsaboutmusic.com and andypratt.bandcamp.com
