"Joe Willie in the Morning"
Mornings 5-10 am

I'm a first generation American from 2 Portuguese immigrants. My Parents left their family and friends behind in Portugal to make a new life in America.  I consider myself a Portuguese Moorish American.  (the Moors brought dark hair and dark features to the Iberian Penisula when they conquered it.  Prior to that most of the people there had light hair and fair complexions.)
  I started entertaning in front of folks as a child using a plunger as a microphone. The view and thrill is the same, just the smell is better with a real mic. In radio since 1980. Been doing comedy on stage since high school. Still enjoy being behind the microphone: on air, on stage, whenever and where-ever!
