OL' H/H himself HUNTER HANCOCK "My beloved Uncle" Hard At work, looks like some thing had already messed up his day!!! Hunter was One of the Very Frist D/J's to Play "black" music on his show Back then it was still called "RACE MUSIC" only in the late 1950's was it changed to R&B Hunters Favorites was "BIG" Jim McKneely, Muddy Waters, and "BIG" Joe Turner, he skated by the Management
by tossing in a few "white" cover artist, Hunter was always hosting Sock Hops "on" the Wrong side of Town, HUNTER was one of the few guys that thought Music was either good or it stunk, color never mattered with him.

The Ol' Wolfman was the D/J's D/J, and is sorly missed by everybody. I learned more from him and I could ever repay in $$$ or Thank You's. I worked with him at KFSO for awhile before they went to pure talk/sports. I also worked in the old KTRB Studio makeing Cuts and such. And when it came time to do the American Graffiti Reunions I always worked side by side with him. We were even billed one year as Big Wolfman & Little Wolfman. Cruising all over Modesto in a Pink Caddy. The Old KTRB studio was also where the Scenes were shot for the Movie so, that sure brought back some major Flash Backs. You'll Never know how proud and happy I was to be picked and asked to play him in the new Soon To be Released Movie "AMERICAN GRACE". Its set in 1973 and, is all about the premire of the Movie America Grafitti. And, all the other things that were going on around Modesto that night. Like the Big Downey/Davis Game. Look for it in stores towards christmas.

What can be said about Robert W. Morgan that hasn't already been said a Zillion times over. Bob was the single most Popular morning radio personailty in L.A., at KHJ 93am. He made a couple of moves only to come back to his calling in L.A. Robert more so than "ANY" of the other fine D/J's that worked there, was "KHJ" 93am. All of us that knew him, listened to him, laughed with him and worked with him, sorely miss him. He was truely one of a kind. R.I.P. Robert W. Morgan

All these D.J.'s deserve the
Boss Mic of Appreciation.

Dick Clark, in his old CHUM days and filling in for Ted Horn on American Bandstand. Who would have ever thought back then what he'd become? "LOL" Dick Still looks pretty much the same now as he did then. OK Dick where are you hideing the Fountain of Youth?

Takeing away Dr. Don Rose from S.F., would be like closeing down the Cable Cars or clearing all the shelves of Rice-a-roni. It just wouldn't be the same. Don was to S.F. morning radio what Morgan was to L.A. radio. S.F. was DR. Don's Town. Don moved around alot in is long venue as a morning D/J but always came back to S.F. Don is a Proud member of Broadcast Legends. See and read more about him on their web site at wwwbroadcastlegends.com

Ladies & Gents, 93 KHJ presents the real Don Steele. Like Robert W. Morgan, Don had his own style and, what you heard on the air was pretty much what you got in real life. It's funny Robert W. Morgan and Don Steele worked with each other for some many years. It's ODD that they also died only months apart. Don was great. All you have to do is listen to some of his air checks to here the Master at work.

M.G. Kelly hard at work at the old KHJ studio. See that stack of records? Things are much easier today and, speaking of today, Kelly is back in the saddle and behind the Mic again where he belongs.

These are the boys from TEXACO. They work from Maine to Mexico. Only Kidding. But, they are the boy's from KYA 1260am on your radio dial in San Francisco. And, most of them have worked all across the Country.
