and the winner of the alw look-alike contest......

[Nick Gerard]

...is in the new movie "Whatever Works." He plays Larry David's friend, Leo Brockman.

Go see it - you'll know what I'm talkin' about.

Does the world really need an ALW look-alike?

 

[alw]

Hey.....If more people looked just like me the world would a much less populated place!

 

[SirRoxalot]

Especially if they were female...

Nick:

We haven't seen each other in about 30 years now. You probably have a 30 year old picture of me burned into your brain pan.

Now it's 30 years later:
Think Wilfred Brimley meets Burl Ives.

Now you're up to date.

 

[SirRoxalot]

I've heard of this thing called the Internet, which has a vast amount of information - even pictures...

I never met Al, but judging from his picture, he looks like someone you'd like to have as your PD. Such a rarity in the business.

Damn, Al ... ya fooled another one!

Al Wallack, raconteur! Dubbed "Doctor Jazz" by our mutual friend, Charley Seitz, when Al hosted Jazz in the Night Time on WNED-AM. ALW also holds the distinction of being a member of a Buffalo radio ratpack (KAL, Jim Santella, Nick Seneca, Randy Michaels, this poster and a few others being a part thereof) that was asked one evening to leave Buffalo's Locker Room Bar because our radio debate had become "too loud." Too loud. At the locker Room. If that's not a "WTF moment," I don't know what is. IIRC, the request went something like, "You guys are gonna have to leave. Now! You're scaring the other patrons." The last time I had lunch with Al and our friend Jim Santella my only regret was that I didn't bring an mp3 recorder and set it on the table to record one of the most informative, opinionated and in a George Carlin way, hilarious discussions of radio, politics and current events. Al delivered most of the funny lines and observations.

JP- I can see that in the theatre of the mind!!
In retrospect...those were the good old days, if you get the drift

Dear Wilfred:

LOL You're right - I do visualize the '76 vintage alw - and he was right up there on screen in the movie! It was freaky.

You may have lost those near-shoulder-length locks, but you still have your youthful insousiance!

Like many of us, I'd hazard to say that ALW has fewer locks, and a growing abundance of insousiance...

 

[alw]

Insousiance-(carelessness, dereliction, imprudence, inadvertence, inadvertency, malpractice, neglect, negligence, recklessness)

There's my old friend Nick.

Now, picture the afternoon DJ on WWOL (circa 1975), talking to the masses of good 'ol Country Music nut-jobs who can claim collectively about 13 teeth-and said DJ rolls out a sentence containing the word "Insousiance".

"That's one from Ferlin Husky, whose insousiance is breathtaking.....now let's hear one from Loretta.........."

AHHHHH-Good Times!
