It's great to hear radio talk from the 60's and the 70's...Can I throw in some of my favorite thoughts?...Dan Sorkin and Wilma Bankie on KSFO...Terry McGovern on KSFO...KEWB, Channel 91( remember their jingle that had the pacing of a train picking up speed? I'd sure like to hear that again)....the Sounds of the City jingle on KSFO...old time radio shows at night on KSFO...Russ Hodges and Lon Simmons on KSFO Giants baseball...winning 4 Blood,Sweat, & Tears albums from Tom Campbell's "Just get thru & win" nights on KYA...Hearing actual radio personalities on KSFO and KYA who weren't demeaning, crude or outragious, just talented preparers of entertainment...Carter B Smith filling in when Sherwood didn't show and eventually becoming a star in his own right...Emperor Gene Nelson ( go,go,go)...quality, memorable jingles from KFRC< KSFO< KEWB< KYA...Roy Storey and San Francisco Seals hockey...Getting hooked on King Crimson by hearing "Court of the Crimson King" on Jim Lange's show on KSFO...
All these helped me decide to get into radio...My first job in Personality radio was KROW in Dallas, Oregon (Solid Gold KROW) for a year...KSEN in Shelby, Montana for a year, and KORK, Las Vegas for 7 years...radio changed, personality stations were going away and I got out in 1981 since you can make better money just about anywhere other than radio...But I told myself as long as it was fun, let's get paid for what I did at home for free...At least I can say I did what I always wanted to do and had some great experiences...I'm now a mailman in Las Vegas and radio here is terrible, not even college quality...I podcast Armstrong & Getty from Sacto and listen to them each day...They are the best team I've ever heard and are both entertaining and informative...If anyone knows of a team like them or a general place online where I can find other radio podcasts across the country, please post it...I also listen to John & Ken from KFI, but they aren't as funny as Armstrong and Getty
