Ferry De Wolf

I started making my first live radio show on July 1, 1981 at a local radio station. In those days there was no internet, no computer screen to stare at, and mp3 files weren't even born.
Hell no, It was all down to speed and being handy with sounds. Soon I found out that I really liked two musical directions in this earthly existence: disco-funk and country music.

After a break of nearly 25 years without being on air the music bug bit me again in 2014. And the bug whispered that I should make radio shows again, ....country music radio shows.

That's when the WOLF Country HOT 20 was born, the weekly fast paced countdown of the 20 HOTTEST country songs on the planet at this moment.

And here I am.
You can listen to the HOT 20 on Total Country FM every Tuesday and Sunday at 1 pm. See y'all there!
