Hey there, Rick Andrews here. I thought I would give you a little background about me. I was born and raised in Bangor, Maine and was bitten by the radio "bug" since the age of 7. By the time I was 14 years old I got my dream job and "cracked the mic" for the first time and have never looked back. My career has taken me from Maine, New York, California and New Mexico. Rick has been described as a "walking encyclopedia" of music info and trivia. When not on the air at Mix 94.1, I enjoy reading entertainment Biographies, Sci-Fi and management books. I also enjoy sketching, painting, drawing and practicing card & coin magic. You usually can find me on the air Monday through Friday from 3pm-7pm.

How Do You Buy Your Music? iTunes, CD or Vinyl?
I remember growing up, that when I'd hear a song on the radio I liked I'd go out and buy the 45. Back then of course I was a Top 40 junkie and really didn't have much place in my life for full length albums, just the singles. As I began to grow my musical tastes over time, I started buying albums from groups that I enjoyed. Whether it was singles or albums the only place to go would be a record s
