"Diamond" Jim McLain

"Diamond" Jim McLain, whose real identity remains a closely guarded secret, is currently enjoying his third stint as Weekend DeeJay at WMPI, having done time here in the early 1990's (as J.D. McLain) and in 2001. There are rumors that he returned because he lost a bet with John Ross; the truth is, JR lost the bet. Raised in Henryville (GO HORNETS), Jim has always loved a variety of music genres, but country, especially "classic" country, is his favorite if he's forced to choose. When he's not saving the world as a weekend radio superhero, Jim returns to his underground lair and enjoys watching classic westerns, listening to interesting podcasts, reading, and songwriting using one of his seven guitars, which is not surprising considering his motto is, "if you aren't happy single, you won't be happy in a relationship. Remember, happiness comes from guitars, not relationships."
