Hey all you cats and kittens, this is Bruce Vasbinder – host of Sock Hop Saturday Night. When I’m not spinning the greatest hits from the 50s and 60s, some might say I’m still spinning as the public relations coordinator for Central Texas College. And on top of that, I’m an adjunct instructor in the CTC Kinesiology department teaching physical conditioning and volleyball. So get in shape with me either twisting to the Sock Hop oldies or in the gym.
