047: Ron Seggi

In his day job, Ron Seggi interviews some of the biggest stars in showbiz on his syndicated radio show. But since the early 1970s when he was "Ronnie Gee" on Erie radio, he was also singing in the evening in his bands that played many of the local lounges. In fact, in 1972, one of his songs was among the 141 country songs nominated for a GRAMMY (he got to attend the show!).  Living in Florida now, Ron talks in this episode about how he got involved in performing, what he's doing today, and he even discusses some of his radio background.
