About

​

Hello, my name is Cindy Annis, I’m the host of Cindy’s Vinyl Vault. My radio name is Vinyl Girl, but you can call me Cindy.

 

My introduction to a round black thing with one groove, called a record, was when I was two years old. My brother and sister made me stop crying by playing records. They would play records for hours to keep me entertained. As I got older, I started reading sleeves and labels and took notes. Whenever I got money from a birthday or other occasion, I would spend it at record stores. We’d go to yard sales and buy boxes of records and this started my record collection.

 

To get the best sound quality from the older records, I clean every record I receive from a record store or yard sale.

 

I started my radio journey in 2008 as an intern at 980 WCAP. The internship was totally interactive. I wasn’t just sitting reading a book, or watching a demonstration, I learned to run the technical equipment hands on with my good friend “Wireless” Mike Flynn. My early days at WCAP were very pleasant and the crew and the staff made my learning experience a success.

 

Cindy’s Vinyl Vault isn’t a one-person show, my co-host is Peter Annis. Peter is my Father. He also grew up in Lowell. Peter has a lot of personality. When he was a kid, there was music playing in the house all the time. Rock n’ Roll records weren’t the only source of music in his house, though. He is one of thirteen children, and everybody plays a different instrument.

 

Let’s talk about the show for a bit. Some of the artists that we play are, Frankie Valli, The Beach Boys and

Chicago. During every show, you are invited to call in a request or dedication at 978-233-1043.

 

Cindy’s Place is my way of continuing what I love — on my terms. No limits. No bosses. Just music, memories, and honesty.
