On most days, we talk about the issues we're concerned with on a daily basis... On holidays, instead of playing a re-run, we go back to my music radio roots to bring you a musical soundtrack for your pool party or other celebrations of the day.... 

Today is Labor Day, so instead of working, we'll just Bang on the Drum all day, and more... Enjoy!

On June 30, 1994, Gene Autry's Golden West Broadcasters changed the format of its last remaining radio station. From Easy Listening K-Lite KLIT (seriously, those were the call letters) to Southern California's Album Alternative fm 101.9. The new call letters, KSCA, didn't come for a few weeks yet...

This is the transition, starting with a few words from our General Manager Bill Ward, and the first on-air shit, hosted by consultant Dennis Constantine.

Another bit from Jim Kerr & the Morning Crew at WPLJ 1985

I produced Jim Kerr & the Morning Crew at WPLJ/NY from 1985-1987. I'm posting some bits and other audio from the show on the occasion of Jim's 50th anniversary on the air in New York City!

At the end of Friday's show (March 15, 2024) with Marcy Wheeler, I stayed on the air for an overtime segment to honor my friend Angela McCluskey who died the previous night.

I'm excerpting it here as a standalone segment.
