About Jerry Schaefer
Native Long Islander; got into radio... accidentally, in college, and love every minute of it! I love all music, (except Rap & Polka) the Yankees, Jets, Notre Dame football, Sam Adams Boston Lager, the Allman Brothers Band and most of all... my friends & family!
Favorite movies: Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, Caddyshack & Field of Dreams.
Things most people don't know about me: I have an unnatural preoccupation with the acting career of Dabney Coleman and I was married to Cheryl Ladd (of Charlie's Angels fame) for a short time in the early 80's.
Pets: 2 dogs... "Muddy" & "Mikki" and a cat named "Skittles".
Favorite quote: "The radio business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." - Hunter S. Thompson
