DANCING FOR VETS & FRETS

I’m Cutter. Born and raised in the seedy small towns of Northeast Wisconsin. I picked up my first guitar when I was 10 years old and got on my first motorcycle much earlier than is legally allowed. I got the rock and roll bug at an early age, and I never let it go, even if that means playing in Wisconsin dive bars till I’m 90.

I started my radio career at the age of 19 doing weekend late nights on the mighty WAPL before moving on to Razor in 2002. After almost 20 years of talking music, it was time I graduated to fart jokes by hosting the Morning Show on WAPL. I learned it from watching Rick McNeal. Now it’s all about Laura Lee and me as we take the morning show into a new era.

About Vets & Frets:

Through the Veterans Village in Appleton, Vets & Frets teaches veterans how to play guitar and heal through music. As a longtime Vet supporter and a guitar teacher myself, I've long believed that music heals the soul and can give people a new lease on life. That is exactly what this program does.

We would like the express our sincere gratitude to Brian Tomac for attending our recent Vets & Frets Guitar session. Brian shared with us how he builds guitars, step by step. So much great information we were not aware of. Love to have you back again Brian.

Also, Vets & Frets is opening up our classes to non veterans on a space available basis. If interested please contact the village for details.

From Cutters post two days ago. “Sooooo I said yes to doing a thing, but hey if my inability to dance can still help raise money for vets who wanna learn how to play music, I'm not saying no. It's about to be a wild ride as I get set to JUST DANCE.” Thanks Cutter!

Our own Cutter will be joining the 2027 edition of JUST DANCE to raise money for Vets & Frets through Wisconsin Veterans Village, and he needs a song to dance to, so please help him decide what song he should shake his rear, for the vets we hold dear. And we'll reward you. This is the Laura Lee and Cutter Dumb Ass Question, and the one we pick gets tickets to see Godsmack this Saturday at Resch Complex
