Vice: How many years have you been on the radio?

Sid Mark:

Stacey was telling me about Billie Holiday, that you met her one night.

She of course was notorious for having her own demons and drug problems. So I imagine being in the music industry back then was no different from today.

Do you still listen to a lot of jazz music?

When did you get hooked on Sinatra?
