Larry Lujack

[KlunkLetter]

I fear that the reason he "may" do this alone (without Snot Nosed Lil' Tommy,) is that even with Rook at the controls formatically and a studio in Dallas, Lar may end up doing it from his New Mexico ranch (even if he did it live) and Wink would do it from, well, wherever Wink is. As a "start up," and the improbabilty of heritage or big coverage stations, at least for now, they both could, literally, "phone it in."

Would that hurt the flow of what Uncle Larry is to legions of fans? You bet it would. Listen to the demo.

I do feel, though, that this could play on some Scott Shannon "True Oldies" stations. Wink -- not so much. So much more talent out there to choose from. Poor choice, IMO. Heck, I'd have gone for Dan Ingram, even phoned in. Landecker, too. Lots more.

Lujack played not only well in Chicago, but throughout the Midwest, the East, the South and parts of the west on both 'CFL and 'LS. I think he'd make it anywhere. I mean, "Animal Stories" fit in anywhere.

But would it play today?

But will he do "Animal Stories" or "Celebrity Worship" without Tommy?

I heard Lid Tommy on 100.3 FM a couple weeks ago on Saturday night around 6ish.

Was that the same station where he used to do mornings?

Nobody YOUNG will listen. People who remember the Uncle Lar glory years will tune in BRIEFLY - until the tired schtick from a more tired old guy gets old - and it will very quickly. My -pod has erverything he will play - without his bs.

The demo sounds like he's on tranquilizers. He's out of steam. It's over.

The question is whether he can be entertaining on his own. My opinion is at this stage of his career he needs a sidekick like Tommy. I wonder as to whether he can do it on his own now.

ol uncle lar was the greatest, and thats the way i want to remember him.

So are you saying you'd rather he stay retired?

i don't think he sounded as good as i remember in the demo, i heard. maybe he still has IT. i'm pulling for him!

I'm pulling for him too.

Well folks, I'm "pulling for him," too. That's MY music he's selling. I guess I REALLY don't get the schtick of being so tired and cranky and sarcastic. I NEVER could figure out kids who came to be hired - and wanted to "sound like" him.

I'm VERY glad I'm retired from radio - and BLESSED enough to have made a great return on the sale.
