Mission To Music - This Is What You Need To Do

Welcome to “Mission to Music: This is What You Need to Do” I’m Gina Juliano with over 25 years in the music business and one of very few women to become a program director in FM and digital radio in the United States over the years. Each week I will have a special guest to talk about their place in the music industry. This week I’ve got a very special guest, Mr. Pete Juliano, who just happens to be my awesome Dad. Pete grew up in the 1950’s, spent time in Vietnam and went on to have a very successful and lucrative career at McDonnell Douglas Aerospace for over 30 years. He is also a huge music buff and has been instrumental in supporting my career in music for the last 25 years as well as having all of his 4 children be in music to some capacity. Pete is here today to talk about the history of music according to his experience and how music has changed over the years. Welcome, Mr. Pete Juliano, also known as “Dad”! I want to first thank you for being here as I know you’re very busy with your own podcast called, SolderSmoke which talks about everything ham radio. You can check out SolderSmoke - YouTube here and on all podcast streaming sites.
