^{In a recent conversation with Tim, he told us: “I’ve always dreamed of being a disc jockey, and now I’m fulfilling that dream in my retirement. I’ve been doing the Custom Taylored show for nearly two years now and it still gives me a huge thrill to discover vintage artists I didn’t know, or things I didn’t know about artists I’m familiar with, and to pass that information on to KNSJ listeners.”}
