Growing up in the O'Connor house, the radio show was a constant in our lives. We all helped out on the odd occasion. It was a member of the family. It required constant attention, sometimes it needed extra help, and frankly, sometimes it was just a huge pain in the rear. Siobhainn became a permanent fixture on the The Mike O'Connor Show in 1991. She was booted straight into the fire. She read whatever was thrown at her; local events, Benefit announcements, commercials and more. She was sent running to the locker to find requested music and missing announcements. It wasn't long before ![]() He was absolutely delighted and pleased that the legacy he created continues.
Above is a photo of the Celtic Tenors in our studio. Siobhainn is the pleased looking one in the middle. They were an absolute riot to interview, and they sang us a few songs, too!

This is a favorite photo. Grandfather, John(Jack) Whyte. He allowed us to ride on top of the hay with my Uncle Johnny. It was such a thrill! Note the enormous draft horse-my mother says they were all named "Fanny".
This shot was taken sometime in the 70's. We spent summers in Ireland with my grandparents.
