Anybody remember Bwana Johnny?

We had a Bwana Johnny on WFUN Miami early to mid 70s....same dude?

cd
 
Yes, and where were you in Miami? My friends and I saw Johnny (Quack-quack) walking around a strip mall in Kendall (107th Avenue & Kendall Drive) about 1973. Don't know how we recognized him, but we tried to "chase" him down or talk to him; I just remember he shyly pretended not to notice us. Kind of like, "I'm off-duty, and you really don't want to meet me." That era in Miami (heck - ALL) radio was so magical to me.

Caught a bus to Sunset and the US1 - walked over to the WFUN studios, got to see somebody on-air behind the showcase glass wall, and that was IT. Some of our favorites were Jefferson Stone, Don Wright, Bill Tanner, Lee Logan, Rick Shaw, DOZENS more. Real stars - especially the night jock if you were in school, 'cause who had time to hear what the AM drive guys were saying?

I'll now crawl back under my rock...
 
Bwana Johnny worked in many markets. A very talented guy. I Last heard him on KASH in Eugene, OR. He did everything from soul in L.A.to Top 40 in New York, and I never heard him have a badday, at least from this listener's perspective.
