Cate Meighan- Host of Cate's Musical Diary & Boom Radio's All Request Sunday Night





Where do you live- 
East coast.

Earliest musical memory-
Being in the studio with my dad at night during live radio.

The first album you bought- 
Pat Benatar's Crimes of Passion. Technically my dad bought it for me because he was trying to break me away from disco. The first album that I remember buying with my money was actually a compilation that had Flock of SeagullsKim Wilde, Foreigner & Bow Wow Wow on it.

First concert- 
I think it was 1988, it was Guns N' Roses and Aerosmith at a racetrack in PA. GNR was new and we couldn't wait to see them, even more than Aerosmith. The concert was fantastic and the night was really memorable because it had been pouring for days and everything was mud. We all lost our shoes & I remember there being a photo in the local paper a few days later of all the shoes left behind once the ground started to dry! 

Last concert attended-
Toto's final show in Philly.

You just got off of a plane & are standing in your dream location, where are you? 
France. Or a castle in Banff.

Favorite memory- 
So many & they usually include a really connected conversation with someone. Also, walking in NYC alone at night. Yeah I know, my mother still freaks out at the thought of that. It sounds strange but it is one of my favorite things on earth, just soaking up everything (especially the creativity) around me but not having to be "on".

Bucket list goal- 
I really want my pilot's license. Seriously.

Finish this sentence-
"This time next year I have absolutely no idea what I'll be doing."

You're hosting a dinner with 3 living artists & 3 that have died. Who will be there?

Living:
 
Tom Gimbel because we never make it more than 2 sentences before we're both laughing.
Steve Lukather with his heart on his sleeve & endless stories
Nick Van Eede for the energy & charm

Dead: 
 Prince

Osceola Iowa

Earliest musical memory-
My mom used to listen to The Carpenters and my dad listened to Bluegrass and Classical Music

The first album you bought-
With my own money? I believe it was Mötley Crüe-Theatre Of Pain

First concert -
Kiss/Slaughter and Faster Pussycat In 1990. I was 12. My dad took me and he had quadruple bypass heart surgery 2 years before. During the show, my dad could feel the bass drum in his chest and it freaked him out. I remember Faster Pussycat and the show but not much about Slaughter. My dad was the only man there dressed in Khakis and a Cardigan Sweater. Hahahaha!

Last concert attended -
ELECTRIC RADIO KINGS! At Counts Vamp’d in Vegas! That was a blast! Paul Christiana (lead singer) flew me out to introduce them on stage. Everyone was awesome! Paul Christiana is crazy! Love that man.

You just got off of a plane & are standing in your dream location, where are you?
On stage introducing a band somewhere.

Favorite memory- Meeting so many people recently, and becoming friends with so many awesome people. Keith Ferrari, K.A. Of Lypswitch, Paul Christiana, Angel Cruz, Angela Hamilton, Ashley McDermott, Johnny Italia, Justin Kimmel,Ace Von Johnson, Chris Steven...I could go on. Getting to know these people is making great memories.

Bucket list goal-
To make a living at doing my show. I’d love to make a living at being an Emcee.

I will still have long hair.

Chris is the host of My Rock & Roll Heaven heard Sundays at 5pm EST 


Chris with Lee Aron

Where do you live-  
Markham, Ontario (part of the Greater Toronto Area)

Earliest musical memory-  listening to Beethoven’s 5th symphony with my dad’s giant headphones on (I have a pic somewhere!). I was probably 5 or so and I remember being absolutely blown away by how powerful the music was. My parents were big music lovers (especially classical) and we always had music playing in the house.   

The first album you bought-
First album I bought with my own money was Survivor’s Eye Of The Tiger. It was one of 13 records I got for a penny when I joined Columbia House for the 1st time in 1983, but it was the 1st one I circled on the flyer that came in the Saturday newspaper. Great thing is I still have the record. It’s pretty beat up, I played it non-stop! I remember having to get my mom to sign for me and that the grand total including shipping was $1.86.  

First concert - 
First concert was November 19th, 1988 in North Bay Ontario (where I grew up) and it was seeing my 1st favorite band, Honeymoon Suite! The venue was called the North Bay Arts Centre (it’s still there) and it’s about a 1,000 seat theatre with fantastic acoustics. I remember waiting in line before the box office opened (determined to get great seats), and ended up being one of the 1st people there! I managed to get 2nd row centre seats (4 in total) and rushed back to school afterwards to tell my buddies! Still have the ticket stub too.
Honeymoon Suite was fantastic, they were on the tour for their 3rd album Racing After Midnight and played a solid 2 hours. Great thing is that they are still together making new music and touring. I’ll be seeing them this summer J

Last concert attended- 
Billy Idol and Steve Stevens, March 25 2019 at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto. I have been a massive Billy Idol fan for years and this was my first time seeing him live! This show was simply Billy and Steve on stage, playing acoustic and electric versions of his classic songs, with Billy telling us the history behind his music and how the songs came to be. Almost like a VH1 Storytellers/MTV Unplugged type show. Seeing Billy and Steve in such a small venue (it was about a 1,000 seater) and hearing him tell the story of his life while singing these songs was such a memorable experience and one I won’t soon forget.

You just got off of a plane & are standing in your dream location, where are you? Hmmm…. Tough to narrow it down to just one location but right now I’d have to say the Maldives.

Favorite memory- 
Wow, I have so many of them! I’ll go with a recent one though, which would be meeting my favorite band Def Leppard last summer. One of the best days of my life!

Bucket list goal-  
Travelling through Europe for an entire summer going from one rock festival to another!

Finish this sentence- "This time next year I hopefully will have won the lottery and I’m retired sitting on a beach somewhere with the rock and roll cranked up! ;) "

You're hosting a dinner with 3 living artists & 3 that have died. Who will be there?
So many artists I would love to do this with!!! 3 living would be Joe Elliott, Nikki Sixx and Bryan Ferry. 3 that are no longer with us would be Freddie Mercury, Steve Clark and Bon Scott

Stacy hosts Stacy's Patio Tunes which airs each Friday at 8pm EST




Where do you live?
Edgewater, Florida

Earliest musical memory: 
Being a young kid and having music played all around the house. My father would play Rock ‘N Roll and my mother would play Motown and Doo-Wop so I had a very diverse musical upbringing that transitioned into my adulthood.

The first album you bought:
Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet album and from that moment on I was hooked!

First concert:
My first concert was Bon Jovi and Skid Row on February 10, 1989 at what once was the Orlando Arena in FL. I was 15 years old and can remember my mother dropping my friend, and I off at the front of the venue in our stone washed jeans, jet black t-shirts and our stiff as a board hair. I’ll never forget the feeling of awe when I got to my seat and the music started to play. I fell in love with concerts at that moment.

Last concert attended:
I saw Tesla in a small venue in Daytona Beach a few months ago. Although I have always been a fan, I had never seen them live and they were amazing!

You just got off of a plane & are standing in your dream location, where are you?
Believe it or not, New York City! I love that place and if I had enough money I would move into a penthouse there so that I could sit out on my balcony with a cocktail every night while gazing at stars and admiring the bright lights of the big city while listening to music.

Favorite memory
Meeting Michael Sweet from Stryper a few years back is easily one of my favorite memories!


Bucket list goal
To travel in an RV on I-10 from Jacksonville, FL to Santa Monica, CA.

“This time next year….I’ll still be a goofball”
