Take a delightful, amusing journey into the world of radio and music. You'll discover the Camiemda Ranch, a magical place high in the Colorado Rockies, where Paddy Gaughan introduced radio broadcasting in the early 20th Century. One hundred years later his great grandson teams up with the nation's finest program director and one of the country's great promotions directors (who are madly in love with one another, but can't seem to settle down in the same city) to establish the world's most famous radio station. "Great Music Radio.com" recounts the years leading up to this, following the founders' careers and the zany, if not crazy, radio people they meet along the way, and eventually their road trip across the country (ala Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters) picking up their favorite deejays. The story also tracks the history of the Ranch, a 5,000-acre spread that was built in the 1890's by engineering genius Paddy Gaughan and his amazing musical wife, Carolina Cosimi, (another great love story) Throughout its history, the Ranch is visited by historical figures that come away with new visions for the future (Nikola Tesla, Guglielmo Marconi, W.C. Handy, George Gershwin, Benny Goodman, and many more.) "Great Music Radio.com" is a fascinating look at the development of music and radio, humorous and smart, a page-turner, a great "beach" read, (mountain read?) but ultimately, a love story from two different moments in time.

Pat McNulty is an award winning radio and television broadcaster (read: he's never really worked a day in his life) and spends his time voicing commercials and business videos, writing, and stealing cookies from the pantry. In his youth he worked as a ranch hand, a groom at a racetrack, a tile setter, and a drywall stocker. He figured out that it was much easier to lift records than drywall and a career in broadcasting was launched. His experience with horse stables also helped him immensely throughout the years - he still shovels stuff, just in a different way. Pat lives in Centennial, Colorado, where he and his beautiful bride, Carol, raised their three kids, the last arriving when they were forty. Pat used to pass by Planned Parenthood and mutter, "I wonder what the hell that means?" Having kids later in life is a blessing because it keeps you young and in-shape, but now that the youngest is in college, Pat's latest exercise program involves living in a home with a lot of stairs --- and forgetting where he put things.
