WIIN

Hey Ross B. we miss you here in ATL. All of your shows back from the late 70's to the early 80's got me to school every day.

Well, that's what got me fired *one* of the three times I was canned from WREK. I'm sure if the FCC had ever noticed I was re-broadcasting via the EBS monitor by holding a mic up I would have been fired from WIIN as well. But I didn't know any better... and fortunately, nobody turned me in. Then, it was on to more amusing things. Or just stuff to amuse us... the Jimi Hendrix /kazoo signoff, for one. --RB
 
Who knows....if it hadn't have been for WIIN 97.....I might have actually attended classes instead of ridin' around with hippy whores and smokin' whack......
You guys were a contributer to my later lack of any meaningful accomplishment.....you MAY even be the reason I wound up in this Gawd forsaken business unpluggin' toilets
Who were some of the others on besides you. Carl Hayward(sp??) is the only other jock I can remember......
 
Harper was a classic... I remember listening to him in college. Then, later on when Brian Wilson and I were at Z-93, we'd go have drinks at Alexander's Eagle on Buford Highway before lunch. Somehow, I don't ever remember getting to lunch, come to think of it. Carl Hayward, Bryan Bolt, Brent Alberts all worked at WIIN; after I moved to PM drive, Jim O'Neill --we called him "James Oatmeal" on the air-- did AM drive. There were others, but their names escape me. Darryl Rhoades came up to the station early on when I was doing mornings with a demo of his latest song, "Burgers in Heaven," and I played it... I think that started his career but he was a demented individual long before I knew him. He created the Hahavishnu Orchestra later on and Rex Patton joined. Sometime in 1976 the owner sold the station to Don Kennedy (who at the time was running the Georgia Network) and he flipped it to that NBC all-news format, which lasted a heartbeat. Don let me work at Ch 36 which had video DJs long before MTV was born. I tried it out doing a offbeat newscast thing but wasn't very good, I'm afraid. He kindly offered to let me stay but I wanted to be a DJ by then, so I took a job in New Orleans... and the rest, as they say...
