Ever since he saw them at the Baltimore Civic Center in February 1980, former music critic Nestor Aparicio has been chasing Styx around the country. JY has been a recurring character on his radio show for three decades. This one was a “mirror, mirror on the wall” segment…
Everyone knows the leader of the Blackhearts loves rock and roll – and the Baltimore Orioles. Nestor got some old Jim Palmer tales from the former Runaway and Hall of Famer.
During his stint at Sporting News Radio, Nestor broadcast live from the field in Atlanta’s Turner Field at the Major League Baseball All Star Game. It’s not every morning that a fly guy like McGrath can mix baseball and music up with a save from Rick Sutcliffe outta the Camden Yards throwback machine and bullpen.
At one time, the Orioles were trying rock concerts to bring in fans. Nestor Aparicio liked that idea. Eddie Money once played a post-game show next to The Warehouse. Where’s the party? Right here…
When the Maryland Oyster Tour was conceived the only place Nestor Aparicio knew he was going to hit was this venerable establishment with the sign on York Road just outside of the beltway in Towson. The sign always says: “Award Winning Oyster Stew.” And a roll with it, baby…
During his youthful teenage #AlmostFamous days as music critic at The Evening Sun in Baltimore, Nestor Aparicio chatted with many legends coming through the area on tour. This is the first of two with the leader of the band who once opened for Kiss at the Capital Centre.
The history and lineup of Styx was fuzzy in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Nestor Aparicio has had many chats and encounters with all of the remaining members of the band over the years.
In the summer of 2009 when the “American Idol” craze took over our country, the touring troop came through Baltimore to play the Arena. Nestor Aparicio sat down with most of that season’s crew before the local show but it turns out that Adam Lambert would be the biggest star of them all and now returns to the Charm City as the longtime lead singer of Queen.
It hard to say how much we are missing the beautiful music of the living legacy to the leader of the band.
Jump into the history of Van Halen with author and historian Greg Renoff, who once again joins Nestor to discuss the new Alex Van Halen book “Brothers” on his life with Eddie and the sensation of the “5150” residue on last summer’s Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony tour and bringing the best of both worlds back to Las Vegas for a residency next spring.
This extremely awkward conversation led to a tour cancellation of his DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince show in Washington, D.C. Sometimes, parents just don’t understand…
The great Maryland band Of A Revolution was visiting Radio Row at the Miami Super Bowl in 2010 and local music is always better. Anyone who has ever seen O.A.R. on the lawn at Merriweather knows of the magic and mystique…
You never know who will appear on Radio Row at the Super Bowl as Nestor has learned over the years. Yanni was there for the fun and had a great sense of humor…
In February 1991, Hall and Oates were transitioning from large arena tours to an acoustic tour, which was gaining popularity due to the emergence of MTV Unplugged. Daryl Hall discussed the challenges and creative freedom of performing acoustically, noting the use of acoustic instruments and a theatrical stage setup.
When Nestor Aparicio was the music critic for The Evening Sun in Baltimore, he didn’t just talk to hairspray acts at Hammerjacks. This is a depth-packed discussion with the guy who made the 7th inning stretch at Orioles games feel like life on the farm…
Styx was on the road with Journey and REO Speedwagon when JY checked in with his biggest sports radio fan in Baltimore.

Comedian Paul Mecurio tells Nestor about his Permission To Speak tour of comedy conviviality coming from Broadway to Maryland Hall in Annapolis on Saturday, November 23. From Wall Street attorney to writing jokes for Jay Leno, he now spends time with Stephen Colbert and tries to make us all laugh a little.
Back in his #AlmostFamous days, Nestor Aparicio was the music critic of The Evening Sun in Baltimore. A more subdued version of him asked Tom Petty’s favorite guitar player about making rock and roll music and touring.
David Bowie talks Tin Machine and Ziggy Stardust with Nestor in November 1991. There’s a whole back story to Nestor panning David Bowie’s “Sound And Vision” tour and then answering the phone when he called on November 8, 1991.
The Thin White Duke was simply brilliant and charming in this interview with the very green Nestor Aparicio, then the music critic for The Evening Sun in Baltimore. This was the era of Tin Machine.

In April 1997, Mark Bryan from Hootie and the Blowfish joined Nestor Aparicio on his radio show to discuss their love for baseball and the Orioles. Mark, a Maryland native, shared his fond memories of attending Orioles games with his family and the band’s connection to sports, including their LP “Fairweather Johnson.”
On Day 11, this was a quick stop and going back to the bull roast basics of how we learned about shucked and raw oysters at Conrad’s in Perry Hall – and trying to figure out what’s in a mignonette oyster dressing besides the zesty!
True story: Nestor took voice lessons from the affable and always available Whiteman on Harford Road when his throat was hurting from screaming on the radio every day in the 1990s. “Ya got nothin’ to lose…”
Thirty years later, this harkens back to when Tommy Shaw was with Ted Nugent and Jack Blades in a supergroup and Styx still had Dennis DeYoung. “Yesterday’s just a memory, can we we close the door?”
Yeah, this pic is Steven Tyler but the modern Toxic Twins were in the middle of a glorious second run as one of the greatest bands in the world when Nestor Aparicio was the music critic for The Evening Sun in Baltimore. This is the story of how the train kept ‘a rolling on the best comeback in the history of rock and roll.
Thirty years later, it seems almost inconceivable that Bruce Springsteen once was departed from E Street for over a decade. The Big Man joined Nestor during his days as an #AlmostFamous music critic at The Evening Sun in Baltimore to talk about solo life on the road.
There were no head games when Mick Jones split from the Buffalo singer and jukebox hero. Nestor went into the midnight blue with no regrets before a Merriweather Post Pavilion show when Gramm opened for Steve Miller.
As all eyes in Baltimore are focused on the last No. 8 we’ll probably ever have in the Charm City (after Cal Ripken and once Lamar Jackson is through), Leonard Raskin and Nestor discuss the “other” Number Eight in a Washington Capitals sweater, who continues to defy the odds and Father Time on the ice as his chases NHL immortality.
There’s a lot of comedy in this one. The boys were rambunctious that day in discussing Painters Mill Music Theatre in Owings Mills

Back in his #AlmostFamous days as music critic at The Evening Sun in Baltimore, Nestor Aparicio interviewed all of the up-and-coming rock stars. Jon Bon Jovi was in the middle of the “New Jersey” tour in the Summer of 1989.
Was it the myriad of penalties, or the two missed kicks by Justin Tucker or the fact that Derrick Henry wasn’t involved enough? It certainly wasn’t because Russell Wilson found the fountain of youth. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss an ugly Ravens’ 18-16 loss to the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
Baltimore failed on a 2-point conversion try that would have tied the game with 1:06 to play.
Did you ever dream of beating Ken Griffey Jr. at Wiffle Ball? Well, it turns out that ESPN legend Kenny Mayne had a whole Seattle story of 20th Century glory to re-live and re-learn about his prowess in the only game that ever mattered in the neighborhood. His new, offbeat film “Wiffle Ball” debuts on Thursday on Fubo. Of course, Nestor presses Mayne on his Pearl Jam and Preakness presence.
General manager Mike Elias calls this “a happier medium” after admitting 2022 changes “overcorrected” the original left-field wall.
Former Steelers quarterback and lifer Pittsburgh good guy Charlie Batch gives Nestor some insights and perspective on what has made the team better with Russell Wilson under center. And what makes the Steelers’ defense dangerous for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens on Sunday at The Confluence.
When you’re 32nd in the league at defending the pass, opponents aren’t likely to run much. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Ravens’ defensive issues and the extra prep for an inspired first-place Steelers team led by Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh. A big game at The Confuence on Sunday.
The rivalry is real. The stakes are high. Luke Jones and Nestor get Ravens fans ready for (another) Pittsburgh Week and a real Steelers’ threat to the purple kingdom and a first-place AFC North showdown at the Confluence.
