Thanks

I used to listen to Dace Lee when I was a kid in school. He will be missed.

Let me add my praise and celebration of the life of Dave Bunce Lee. While he never seemed to fit in (ever see a picture of the four main KRC jocks together? Jerry, Rich and Alan all looked like preppies.. Dave looked like a loser in an Elvis look a like) he had a passion for the business, worked hard and treated me like an equal. And he was a great jock. I tip my hat (and beer mug) to him.

Thanks JCR, I'm listening to it right now.

Very cool!

And with Ed Kennedy and Rich King popping up as well (...and the golden nugget: The Harold Calvin editorial intro!)

This was from the 77/78 winter(???)...so the question: when did KRC go from WKRC to 55KRC?

PS...would love to hear Don Webb read names out of the phonebook one more time

Probably when Randy got his hands on it.

Listen to Forrest Greg call Pete Rozell

I hope I did this right, if not cut and paste this. http://www.mediafire.com/?cmzot4cy4xh

This is the bit Bob Berry & I conceived and Dave executed to a T. The only change was ABC-Good Morning America felt the line about buckets of fried chicken in the end zone was not PC. That is the edit before Pete Rozell’s biggest laugh. Listen to the whole thing. Dave was incredible to where Pete was discussing NFL policy with him and rule changes long after the gags were pulled.

I contacted both the Today show and pitted them against GMA, We flew to New York the next day. Sadly the first day back at work from the New York trip was the morning Nancy McCormick our Helicopter traffic reporter was killed. The highest and lowest I’ve ever been in one week emotionally.

Dave did his voice so well, that Forrest Greg's wife called Forrest one day at Spinney field and asked what he was doing on the radio.

I worked with him over 8 years and he was always the same. Although we didn't stay in contact, any time I ran into him at the Delhi Skirt game or elsewhere he was always Dave.

God must've needed a laugh.

Thanks for the aircheck. I never knew Dave, but a lot of folks I count as great radio people have done his memory proud on this thread. My condolences...

It was 55KRC when Jim Durham was the PD, up to early 1975. When Jim Lohse came from WTVN, he changed it to 55WKRC. He was PD until July of 1978 when they brought Randy back from Kansas City and he changed it back to 55KRC.

Thanks. One other KRC question. When was the 5 and a 1/2 car giveaway? Was that the first contest promotion for Randy?

Back to the topic, how was the attendance at the funeral?

It got me to think, how many of the jocks from KRC and WLW (during the 70's & 80's) are still alive? Both middays are gone. JFPO and Rich King are gone. I wouldn't mind hearing a HD channel of a retro-radio "Nick at Nite" kind of programming, with old airchecks, commercials, etc.

The Toyota promotion was in the fall of 1979. It was as the Toyota Supra was first coming out. They gave away four Corollas, a Supra and the front half of an old Celica. The Celica's radio worked due to a battery hidden under the dash and there was an envelope with $1,000 in the glove compartment.

While we're telling old stories, I remember the car giveaway 55KRC did another fall when they had a new Cadillac and a new Lincoln. Also during that book, they gave away 550 turkeys. The turkeys were kept in a huge Home City Ice container in the parking lot for when the winners came for their prize. Big as it was, it would only hold a couple hundred turkeys at a time. When the winner of the Lincoln showed up to claim the car, Vance Dillard was pulling in the driveway - rear bumper scraping the ground - with the car absolutely stuffed with the turkeys: trunk open, back seat crammed, dashboard obstructed, piled to the ceiling with frozen turkeys.

I worked with Dave at KRC (I was a lowly sales guy). He helped me out of one of the worst jams of my life. I got drunk and didn't go home. The next day, my wife was ticked and demanded to know where I had been. The only thing I could think to tell her was that I heard a rumor that Elvis was alive and hanging out at Skyline in Montgomery and I had to go check it out. She didn't think it was funny...until the next day when I had Dave call while we were both out. He left a message as Elvis saying that he heard I was looking for him. My wife got a good laugh out of that and let me back in the house. Thanks Dave!

1982...I had a 45 minute drive to the station outside Columbus for my afternoon show. Still a baby DJ trying to find my "voice." I would listen to Dave almost every midday. I always marveled at how we would seamlessly work his way into the stopset by matching his talk up to the first few words or sounds of the spot. I was never able to master that kind of show prep or attention to detail. But I worked hard on mimicking his one on one approach. He truly made it feel like he was talking to just you didn't he?

Now there's a little bit of Dave on the air every morning here in Dallas. I hope he knew how many Radio kids he inspired.....
