JDB SHOW

From 215 to 615

I don’t even know if anyone even checks this page anymore but nowadays this is my only form of mass communication.
It is with great sadness that I inform you all that am leaving Philadelphia and moving to Nashville.

I thought leaving the air was hard but moving away from this city that I love as much as life itself is truly heartbreaking. Nashville is a great city, even though it doesn’t have a baseball team. But my son is there and along with my wife they have both given up a lot for me and my career so I could not say no.

I will miss this city and its people so much and will always be thankful for everything both have given me. Fortunately, there are many Philadelphians that I know living in Nashville. But no cheesesteaks or pizza worth mentioning. And no water ice, in a city whose humidity makes Philly feel like the North Pole.

No one really maintains the JDB Show page anymore and I’m not much of a poster myself. But I will do my best to post here and on the John DeBella page as well.

Don’t get me wrong there is a lot for me to get excited about in Nashville, but there will forever be a hole in me that can only be filled by Philadelphia. WC Fields was right…”All things considered. I’d rather be in Philadelphia.”

Take care of yourselves and don’t take any crap from anybody!

Cleaning out stuff at home I'm coming across things I haven't seen in decades. This shot is from my days at WLIR on Long Island. My guess is 1978 and Elvis was promoting "This Years Model"
