Famous Amos

Re: Famous Amos

Jim, you know him too well. I would also any kind of speakers for monitoring anything that has ORBAN or OMNI written on it.

Re: Famous Amos

I think the Magic Rack o' Processing is safe - if nothing's changed since I saw it under construction, it's not even on the same floor of the building as the new CBS-FM studio...and it's behind a locked door, too! ;)
 
Re: Famous Amos

Scott...
And you think the locked door will stop what?
There is a thing called remote control.
And not the kind for those little racing cars dads get for the kids who end up playing with it themselves. Wait...that sounded wrong...No..it's ok.. Playing with IT, meaning the car.

Phew. Never mind.

BE BIG! Mario Andretti

El Famoso doesnt need any stinkin' screwdrivers - he'll just use whatever pointy object is left lying around the studio to get the job done. Like when he had me use scissors to access some ill-adjusted 528E's.....

Better hire an armed guard to patrol the engineering closet to be sure.
 
Re: Famous Amos

GUYS...

While I appreciate your mirth and merriment, inspired by the thrill of hearing your mentor back on the air to inspire you (especially YOU, Catfish... I know you learned everything you do from decades of listening to ME.... Tom, you never learn anything :p ), may I please ask you to stop joking about my messing with equipment?

It's not just that I would never do such a thing; it's that, as it turns out, I can't. Nor would I want to. But it's a moot point, as everything is locked away like the missing link exhibit.

Most of all, you boys should realize that processing is a giant member measuring contest, when it comes to people in the Radio industry. In 38 years, I've learned that all broadcasting companies have engineering staff which not only considers their "sound", good or lousy, sacred and sacrosanct, but (being engineers) they don't share your wacky "jock" sense of humor about this stuff. Even seeing jokes about me and little green screwdrivers in print is actually grounds to start a whispering campaign, resulting in my never working there again.

You wouldn't want to be responsible for such a loss to the industry, if not all of humanity, would you? Thought not. Thanks! Toodles.

Re: Famous Amos

Sorry man....forgot about the people with less than perfect senses of humor. Lest anyone thinks different, El Famoso is the least likely to mess up anything technical-related.

And no, I don't learn anything, so I'll just say: Enough with the serious..go get'em tonight Amos!
 
Re: Famous Amos

Hey, guys, i wouldn't worry too much about "El Famoso" - he's gonna be fine... 8)

Re: Famous Amos

Yes, we love you man. I totally understand how you feel about "type-casting".
I've been on a list for years. I don't quite know what list that IS, but I'm on one.
Just go get 'em Amos Baby...

Re: Famous Amos

I'm a Dutchman, living in the UK and I think Famous Amos is brilliant. As I don't really have the means to keep my finger on the pulse of the US radio stations, I'm wondering whether anybody could tell me where Famous can be heard these days. I would love to tune in again.

Thanks! ;)
 
Re: Famous Amos

He occasionally does fill-ins on WCBS-FM, especially around holidays. Perhaps we can expect to hear him on the weekend of July 4?
