Check out the Dallas board. I learned there that ex WRNO jock Sambo Roberts is recovering from a heart attack. Sambo was one of the best on air guys 'RNO ever had. I got to meet him a few times and he was an all around nice guy. I believe he was at 'RNO from about 1978-82 before moving on to bigger and better things.

Ex WRNO jock has heart attack
- Thread starter Megacycler
- Start date
("Sam") Bo and I accumulated more than sufficient reasons for the heart attacks we've both subsequently had, working back to back at WRNO late 70s and early 80s. Someone in Big D, please tell him Soxless sends his best wishes for a speedy recovery. Tell him if a self-destructo like The Moi Dude can make it back and last another 13 years, I know damned well HE can.
Must be something in the air, recovering from angioplasty from last Wednesday myself (stent placement)...get well soon Sambo!
I suppose if I worked for a programming genius (who shall remain nameless) who tells me to play (for example) Led Zeppelin Cashmir, followed by The Monkees Last Train to Clarksville followed by ACDC Highway to Hell, I would have to keep a bottle of nitroglycerin tablets nearby.
Meg, ya left out that rockin' 5PM legal-ID monster, Christopher Cross/Sailing!!! ("Yeah, uh, Segrabes dere...uh...don't worry it's not loud enough to suit YOU...I've...uh...re-soiched da songs we play...and dat's impoe-tant enough to be in dat slot. So, ya heah me? Don't worry you'se'f t'inkin' 'bout it, just PLAY it. Or I'll tell Joseph!")
But Bo probably delayed his current problems by 30 years, the day he pointed at the reel2reel machine behind him and told Otto, "Yeah, there's a tape you can use to record a client," and poof! away went a Dere Bug special on either The Monkees or the Beach Boys. Yee-hawww.

Thats hilarious! And to think Lee Abrams himself programmed that station once upon a time.
Jeesh, I didn't mean to ruin anybody's weekend! Lets just wish the speediest of recoveries and long term health to both Sam(Bo) and the Weerdo.
