§ ABOUT ME

I began to read radio commercials in 1964 on KAVE radio in the Cave City, Carlsbad, New Mexico, owned by Voice of the Caverns, Inc.. I started to write them in Madison, Wisconsin in 1973 and later became production director of WQFM in Milwaukee where writing, reading and recording radio ads was all I did.

My nomadic radio career took me from Carlsbad to Tokyo, Denver, Colorado Springs, then to Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin where I opened my own studio to produce commercials.

I brought it to Albuquerque in 1984 and Barton Studio’s been here ever siince. I have written some 5,000 commercials in my tenure and voiced and produced hundreds of industrials as well.

I also have a Message-On-Hold service for your telephone system with lots of trivia, sports and brain teaser packages and wrote, produced and voiced an audio CD on death and dying after my wife died from cancer.

My best clients are ones like ABC Seamless, who have single owners, 30 to 50 employees and have the fortitude to try something different. Give a listen and thank you.
