Congratulations, you found my page! I figured if the DJ's can have a page, then why can't I? So... How about some info on me? My name is Joe Pagano, and I've worked for 106.5 The Fox since day one... back in the day I used to just produce the commercials, but then in early 2007 i became the program director... My favorite classic rock band is Pink Floyd, followed by Led Zeppelin, The Doors, & The Rolling Stones. I also have a fond appreciation for bands like Black Sabbath, The Who, Rush, and even Jethro Tull - I think these bands have some amazing music. Speaking of music, I've been around it all my life... I've worked for various music stores up here, I've played in several bands, and many years ago i even went to school for recording engineering. So ya, my whole life is basically music... (oh and the guitar in the background on the Fox site is my old (barely functioning) Strat...)
3 MOST EPIC SONGS OF ALL TIME: (in my opinion, and we know what opinions are like....)
1. Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven
2. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
3. Eagles - Hotel California
(honorable mention to Freebird... & Warpigs! )
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
1. Do you love your job? Yes, i wouldnt be here if i didnt. but its not all fun and games here. this is actually a job... an unusual job, but a job nonetheless...
2. Are you on the air too? No, i have a horrible radio voice, and i wouldnt want to torture our audience... although i do silly voices in commercials from time to time.
3. Why do you play so much Led Zeppelin? Because its Led Zeppelin, the biggest classic rock band of all time... come on! No really, we actually play more Stones than Zeppelin, believe it or not...
4. Why do you play Elton John? OK who doesnt like Rocket Man, come on... actually, there are ALOT of Elton John fans out there, so to not play him would be sort of impossible...
5. Why don't you play bands like Slaughter, Warrant, etc? Because these bands are cheesy! haha. we already play some Def Leppard, Whitesnake, and Bon Jovi... isnt that good enough?
6. Why don't you play harder bands, like Metallica? We do play some hard stuff, but too many other stations around here already play the heck out of Metallica... plus the era they were popular in (the late 80's and early 90's), is about the cut-off for the music we play. Believe me, I think "One" is one of the best songs made by anyone ever, but i don't see that song meshing well with the other stuff we play... unfortunately... and yes we all love Master of Puppets and even Ride the Lightning... someday guys... someday...
Thats about it for now. As always, thanks for listening to 106.5 THE FOX! If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to email me!
