Charlie Curtis - North Shore 104.9 Morning Show Host

charliemugshot2.jpg

A talented air-trombonist and certified celestial mechanic specializing in tuneups and oil changes, Charlie is a man of many parts, most of which are worn and in need of replacement. Tossed out of some of the best colleges in the country, not to mention a few mediocre ones, Charlie made his way north where he joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, his career cut tragically short by allergic reactions to back bacon and Gordon Lightfoot.  Settling on the North Shore, Charlie took over the morning show at then-classical WBOQ in the mid-90’s, leaving in 1997 to pursue his lifelong dream of living in Detroit. Awakening from this nightmare several years later, Charlie returned to the Bay State and became afternoon air personality at North Shore 104.9, switching to morning duties 5 years ago. He hopes to receive his green card very soon, or at least keep his head down until the Democrats can pass immigration reform. (Note to Homeland Security: JUST KIDDING!) Contrary to rumor, due to his deathly fear of needles Charlie has no tattoos, but his mother did write his name on all his underwear.
