THE WEEKEND STAFF
Bob Vega
A Pennsylvania native, Bob has been in radio for many years and through many types of music. “I enjoy country music because, to me, it speaks quietly and plainly. The artists I have met have been the most down to earth people it has been my pleasure to know.” When not involved in music, he lives in York County with his family and enjoys cooking, photography and the arts, being both a teacher and student, a shade tree mechanic, and is a semi-pro computer geek.
Dallas Simmons
Dallas is a native of rural Adams County, having grown up on a family farm with generations-old traditions of folk, bluegrass and “hillbilly” music. As a musician he’s worked with music ministries in churches throughout southcentral Pennsylvania and central Maryland as a keyboard player since age 14 and later as a choir director and soloist. Dallas began working in radio in the mid 1980’s when he was mentored by John “Paesan” Pellegrini and finally became a part of the Great Country family in 2006. In addition to his love of country music Dallas has a passion for Latin music and culture and has traveled extensively in Central America and the Caribbean. ¡Sonría!
