Down In Front with Stew Liebman As a kid growing up in the 60’s I dreamed of getting rich and owning a radio station.

From the early days of going into NYC to Sam Goody’s (then one store) and buying 50 albums at a time, I always loved turning people on to new music. Since then I’ve been building my music library, attending concerts and going to clubs, ever expanding horizons and searching for new tunes. I first heard WNTI when I moved to Sparta 20 years ago, happy to find a great radio station out in northwest Ne

w Jersey. Broadcast from Centenary University in Hackettstown, the staff at WNTI.org has given me a chance to express myself with a microphone, headphones and stacks of CD’s and vinyl. “Down In Front” is a somewhat planned and yet ultimately spontaneous mix of music: new and old, familiar and obscure, folk to rock to blues to jazz to hip-hop. Somehow it all comes together every Monday night from 7:00-10:00pm on www.WNTI.org.
