Music on the radio has formed the backdrop for most big events in each of our lifetimes. Live Music-broadcast straight across the airwaves and into a million radio sets-has been entertaining this nation and launching countless careers since radio's earliest days. something soecial on the air provided the shared experiences that made us a nation. We all remember the song that was playing the very first time...we did just about anything. First love? First car? First heartbreak? Hear one of those songs now and it takes you right back to where you heard it then. On The Air plays those songs- the ones linked to the memories that we will always carry with us...

On The Air is Jim Bartholomew & Rich Nelson, two performers who have spent the better part of the last 30 years playing those songs. Working together or seperately in such well known Chicago groups as The White Saddle Band, The Maroons,
Cactus Jack, The Rangers, Cahoots and Lincoln Avenue legends The Dive Bombers, Jim & Rich have been seen in just about every bar, honky-tonk, dance hall, VFW, Church basement, coffee house, carnival, street fair, county fair, concert hall and beer joint that has featured live music in the Chicago area. On The Air is a continuation of their long, strange trip exploring the highways and back roads, the top forty and the back forty, of the music we all grew up with.
