*Dear Ronn Owens: Hope you're feeling OK. Miss you on the old KGO.
Yes, I became quite agitated at your career end but have never denied your overall excellence.

What? No love for Roscoe?
ReplyDeleteRoscoe P. Coltrane?
DeleteYou're kidding right? Not from the Bay Area maybe?
DeleteTwo class acts in their day.
ReplyDeleteCertainly from another era…their likes shall never be heard again. Radio sold records - records made radio.
ReplyDeleteDon Sherwood
Al Jazzbeaux Collins
Dr Don
Frank n Mike
Entertainers with wit and style and intelligence and a damned good memory for mixing music.
Now all we have are Crock jocks.
In regard to your comments on Dr. Don, and to quote the man himself: "THAT'S RIGHT!"
ReplyDeleteMy father always said Don Sherwood was the greatest DJ he ever heard. I personally couldn't stand Dr. Don. Jazzbeaux was IT for me, the greatest DJ who ever sat behind a mic. I could listen to him for hours, and I did — hours.
ReplyDeleteNever was a fan Don Rose he was over the top in my opinion. The best part of Ronn was the Ronn and Brian joke hour before it was a crime not to be woke.
ReplyDeleteAgree Don Rose was irritating as #$%@ and way overrated. The station was better when he was off air.
ReplyDeleteMid-70's, I listened to Ronn Owen's program from 1000 miles away. KGO's nighttime skip signal carried that distance easily.
ReplyDeleteA Bay Area radio great: Chris Edwards. Whether it was morning drive, afternoon noon or interviews, Chris was the best and a total pro!!
