Company history
A long long time ago, back in 1982, two entreprenurial high school boys by the name of Paul Manganelli and Mark Foskin of Watham, Massachusetts, both avid lovers of music and entertainment, decided to open and operate their own neighborhood radio station. Both boys grew up in the Warrendale neighborhood of Waltham, Massachsuetts, a suburb just west of Boston. Paul and Mark ordered and purchased an FM radio station transmitter and set up a real broadcast radio station in the basement of Mark's house (with his parent's permission of course). For several months, Paul and Mark were the DJ's playing the hottest hit music and broadcasting local news to the neighborhood. They knew they had at least one listener, a classmate who lived a few doors down. The transmitter wasn't very powerful and after they learned that it was illegal and the FCC might come after them, coupled with the fact that they were caught drinking beer while on the air by Mark's mother, they decided to close up shop. A short time later, Paul and Mark, at the age of 18, wrote up a business proposal explaining how they would operate and how profitable a new disc jockey service company would be. The business proposal, along with a loan application, was submitted to Guaranty First Trust Bank (now Ben Franklin Bank) in Waltham. A few days later, a loan was granted to the two teens and state of the art sound and lighting equipment was purchased so that the boys could start their busniess. P & M Sound started providing music at events in 1984. Today, P & M Sound is still going strong and we have played at well over 1,000 events. Sadly, Mark left the company in 2008 because he has three daughters and has to stay home with his shotgun, plus he owns another business that keeps him very busy, so he had to go. Everyone knows he will be missed.
