Why 560.com?
I
was
trying
to
think
of
a
name
for
a
website
that
would
allow
me
to
do
anything
I
wanted
without
being
restrictive.
I
decided
to
use
560.com.
It
was
the
dial
position
of
my
favorite
radio
station,
WQAM,
and
would
not
limit
the
various
things
I
intended
to
do.
One,
was
a
tribute
site
for
WQAM,
my
favorite
radio
station
when
I
was
a
teenager.
Another
was
radio
ID
jingle
collecting
(a
by-product
of
listening
to
WQAM’s
jingles)
and
the
other
was
my
interest
in
Railroads
and
photographing them. 560.com was the perfect name.
WQAM Tribute and Jingle Collecting
I loved WQAM. We moved to Florida when I was in my early teens and was just getting interested in listening to radio
and rock and roll music. I discovered WQAM and wouldn’t listen to any other station. They played the best music, had
the best DJs, contests and one more thing, jingles. I loved WQAM’s jingles as much as the music and even called and
requested jingles! Later, jingle collecting would become a big hobby of mine.
My assistants
I’ve had three very helpful assistants. They’re always laying in my lap, on my arms, the keyboard, on things I’m trying to
read, standing in front of the monitor and wanting to play. But I couldn’t do this without them.
They are my cats, Scotty, Trigger and Ralph.
Rest In Peace
Scotty Feb. 1991 - May 16, 2011
Tigger ~1998 - March 1, 2017
I lost Scotty to old age after 20 years and Tigger, also to old age, after 18 years.
They were my faithful companions and always at my side day and night.
Tigger and Scotty together again.
