Went to the KJR studio once in the late 60's. Tom Murphy put us on the radio. Great guy who became a voice actor.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Sat Jul 29, 2023 7:18 amNot to be too picky but, walk don't run surf music? Secret agent man?
Speaking of surf music, once caught a dick dale concert, that was fun
Further side note, the first concert i went to as a kid was a kjr summer spectacular, had Jan and dean, more surf music. Also had the Shangri-las, sam the sham and the pharohs. Sam got into a shouting match with the crowd, that show was fun too.
There's the lineup, 1965 summer spectacular, Shangri-las not listed, they were there
KJR was voted THE best Top-40 station in the entire U.S. many times in the late 60's and early 70's. Murphy, O'Day, Roberts, Curtis, Kaye, and Lujack were on-air personalities. All either were about to become national names in radio or had already established themselves in the industry.
How's that for Great Performances?
