Looking for old DJ KWSS 94.5 FM From 1980-1992

Looking for old DJ's From KWSS 94.5 FM The Bay Area From 1980-1992 Like Dr.Dave Lewis & Barry Beck
 
KWSS Gilroy-San Jose began in January 1983 at the El pAseo de Saratoga shopping center. Here's a link to a page with a pic and some airchecks: http://www.radiocitysf.com/audio/kwss/index.shtml.

Last I heard Barry Beck was in Rochester NY doing mornings on a Classic ROck, Chuck Geiger is in Yuma Az, Kid Squid or Pete Smith is STILL at 98.5 the Fox as morning show producer for Greg Khin. Bill Kelly is doing mornings at KEZR...Not sure about Al Kline though. John Mack of course is in Daly City not doing radio right now (last at KFRC). Mike Preston of course just left CBS SF.
 
Damn. KWSS?? I used to listen to that station religiously when I was 10.

What ever happened to Kelly & Kline after they got canned for airing the original version or "we want some p****"???

Kelly And Kline left for Hartford, Conn., then eventually wound up at 105.1 WDBZ, New York, on a "Modern AC"
format that didn't even last a year:

Somewhere in my archives, I still have my Hot 97.7 FM Kelly And Kline coffee mug...
Now THERE'S a station that hasn't been spoken of in eons!!...
And since there's been talk elsewhere on the SFO Board about them, isn't 97.7 where JV and Elvis got their start?
:D

...And Tim Anthony is spinning Country hits at 95.3 KRTY in San Jose.
 
I did afternoons, '85 - '86, and am still here - at 94.5 (now KBAY) - as Production Director.

Wow. That brought back some memories. I listened to KWSS everyday in my room before I learned what rap was. I dont remember the jocks names, but its weird how familiar the voices are.

You guys have anymore sound checks from KWSS? Id sure love to hear them.

In digging around, I've only found a few KWSS recordings. If anybody has any to share (hello Steve Taylor!) I'll get them up on the museum website ASAP.
