The Wax Museum With Ronnie Dark
Swirling cosmic & unusual sounds for your ears & minds: Bringing you the spirit of 60s & 70s free-form radio! The program's focus is mostly centered on the Garage Band Era and British Invasion music, but THE WAX MUSEUM caters to all types and forms of rock and roll and it's offshoots (including Surf/Hot Rod, obscure Progressive Rock, AOR (album oriented radio), Soul/R&B and Fusion music). We are always taking requests!
“I had this idea for many years”, states host Ronnie Dark, a veteran of Central New York radio for over ten years. “I was unable to interest the radio station I worked for at the time with my idea. I found a very receptive audience with the people at our current radio station. I’m happy that THE WAX MUSEUM has found a home on the dial and with such a good company. Radio to me is still a great medium. I have faith that as long as programs like mine, Bob Pietrucha’s Polish Radio Show and Soundcheck exist people will continue to listen to the radio.”
Ronnie's co-hosts on the WAX MUSEUM are Mike Adams "The Night Owl" and John "The Commander" Walsh, who are also avid record collectosr and music lovers! Mike likes all things wild and strange! Ron. John and Mike both bring their unique and creative knowledge and experience to the show!
THE WAX MUSEUM is broadcast Sunday nights on WVOA 87.7 FM from 7-10pm. People can also listen online anywhere in the world at http://www.wsiv1540.com

John "The Commander" Walsh
John "The Commander" Walsh has loved music as far back as he can remember; his mother was a primary influence on his musical upbringing. John remembers that she always had music on - in the car, records on the record player, and she was always singing. He began to collect vinyl around the age of fourteen, and now boasts a collection of over 6,000 pieces. He attended an Eddie Money concert in the early 80s, and this solidified him as his favorite artist. He is also fond of ELO, Ray Price and Merle Haggard. He loves classic country, rockabilly and bluegrass music as well. His favorite LP that he can listen to over and over is Supertramp's "Breakfast in America".

The Night Owl became obsessed with records at the age of two. Some of his favorite groups include Beatles, Turtles, Hollies, Rolling Stones, B52s and early Pink Floyd 1965-1978. When he's not at work as a Central Sterile Tech at a local Syracuse hospital, he's all about music, vintage phonographs, record collecting and vintage automobiles.
