Perry fades one track into another by reversing the record a quarter turn. Perry hosts a radio show every Thursday night from 8-10 pm on WCYN called Cyn City Vinyl. Music for the show is selected by Perry from his record collection which is between four to five thousand records. Every song he plays is from an album from his collection. He began collecting at a young age and gained a large part of his collection when the radio station WMUL switched from vinyl to CDs. While Perry’s daytime job is selling insurance, he enjoys music in many aspects including collecting records, CDs, and guitars that he plays in his band. Perry first became interested in 7th grade when he saw how the power of music could bring different groups of people together at a school dance. “I saw the DJs as celebrities. I thought ‘I listened to you on the radio last night and here you are in front of me’”. When the DJs played “Sweet Child O’Mine” by Guns N’ Roses, the crowd erupted onto the dance floor. Every social group in school came together to listen to this song. Perry has friends and listeners all over the United States and at one point, in Japan. One listener, in particular, he calls “New York Pete” texts into the chat line during the DJ session and chats with Perry about all things music.
