Biography

Richard Sibello was born in 1969 in Newark NJ. As a child his favorite toy was a phonograph, along with the records his parents gave him. His interest in radio grew when his father introduced him to the old reel-to-reel tapes he'd made in the 1960's of Cousin Brucie, Scott Muni, and Dan Ingram on WABC-AM. "After that," says Rich, "I was hooked." Richard not only began collecting records at a furious pace (by age 14, he had over 1,000 45's in his collection) but also collected information about the songs, the artists, and even the actual records themselves. Just to show people he really does have a life, Richard also enjoys hiking, theater (he can be seen in many productions in the Westfield-Cranford-Summit area) and screaming his head off to old Otis Clay records.
