Name: Jan Spencer

Marital Status: Single
First record you ever bought: My mom got me the 45, Elvis Presley's "Burnin' Love". I played it all the time. Its now on my IPod!
First car you ever owned: 1973 green Capri. We called it the "Kermitmobile" after Kermit the Frog. (It was that froggy color green)
Favorite candy of all time: Truffles!
Word you’d like added to the dictionary: Duh!
I secretly have a crush on….not a big secret but Don Henley of the Eagles. He's the only musician I'd probably faint in front of if I met him. He's da bomb diggity!
If you had to apologize for one thing on behalf of all men what would it be? I don't know, I'm a woman... and I'd make a list.
Who was the first guy to break your heart? Tad Garnhart, 7th grade. He played saxophone and was in 8th grade. I played bass clarinet and was in 7th grade and I sat next to him in band.
I wish I knew how to…play drums.
TV show I’d love to guest star on: Ghost Hunters on Sci Fi channel! I'd love to record an EVP!
What CD did you own as a teenager that you’re embarrassed to admit now? I didn't have anything embarrassing as a teenager. Now, as a kid, I had Shaun Cassidy! HE was cool!
If you were lost on a desert island and could take one book, one CD and one outfit, what would they be? I'd never make it...... I'd need an IPod, a Barnes and Noble down the street and a walk in closet.
What is the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten? Crawfish
What superpower would you like to have? The ability to never gain weight!
If you had a theme song that played every time you walked into a room what would it be? the 'CHONG CHONG' from Law & Order when they change scenes....
Thing that’s been in your fridge the longest: The shelves.
I never leave home without my…cell phone.
I’m totally addicted to…GUACAMOLE!
If I had the day off I’d probably…sleep. Getting my MBA and next my PhD is keeping me up at night!
If the TV’s on at 2 in the morning I’m watching…for who turned it on because I sure as heck didn't! I'd be calling Ghost Hunters to find out what was up!
Your most overused phrase: ROCK ON!

 I recommend this book by Lorelei Shellist, called Runway Runaway! It chronicles her life in the world of fashion and music and has the inside story on musicians from Don Henley to Steve Clark, her fiancé at the time he died. Steve was in the legendary band Def Leppard. This book is a wonderful surprise to read, just like buying a CD and liking EVERY song on the disc! The best part is that all proceeds from the book go to a music scholarship the Shellist Memorial Music Scholarship Her link is: www.runwayrunaway.com |

Backstage January 11, 2008 in Vancouver, BC Canada, Big and Rich show. My friend Janice is with me standing next to John Rich. I got to stand next to Big Kenny. Even though their semi trailer full of their stage equipment ran off a mountain pass, they still did the show straight on without any extras. It was STILL a great show!
Latest shot of me and my mentor, Steve Summers, at Q98.5 WXXQ in Rockford, Illinois
He is the reason why I got into radio, and I have known him for 25 years!
California Lighthouse on the Island of Aruba. Taken February of 2007 on my business trip there. Yeah, a business trip, terrible, but someone had to go. :)
Jan at the Top of the Rock, Rockefeller Plaza, NYC in December of 2006. Taken while on my business trip to New Jersey and New York City. I was in NYC for 5 hours and decided, "Yup, that's enough."
Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland. All you Highlander, The Movie, fans will know this is where they filmed a lot of the scenes for the movie here. It is the most photographed castle in Scotland. Taken on my trip to Scotland in September of 2006. I sat outside the castle and played "A Kind of Magic" by Queen. Yes, I am a Highlander and Queen fan.
Me sitting in a chair reserved for Bishops of the church in Glasgow, Scotland. Nobody was around, so I snuck a picture!
Cliffs of Moher, Ireland. One of the most spectacular sights I have ever seen. Taken on my trip to Ireland and Scotland in September of 2006.
Jan at the Vancouver Canucks hockey game in Vancouver, Canada. The Canucks played Dallas that night and the Canucks won in sudden death overtime! I still love my Lightning though!!
Jan and longtime friend Babs who lives in Vancouver. We've been friends for 20 years!!
New Year's Day at the Polar Bear Swim in Vancouver, Canada. This is the Australian Football Team in Vancouver, called the Vancouver Cougars. The team took a "dive" in the cold waters in English Bay just off the beaches of Stanley Park! I'd say they were CRAZY!!! It was barely 40 degrees outside!!
