 Been a while since we last updated, since that time we have lost Jim Lord (pictured). In a tragic accident, Jim slipped on the concrete while exiting his home. It had been raining. A broken neck, 3 days in intensive care, and died the day of his scheduled surgery. Jim was the afternoon drive guy at WDAE in 1974. He went on to own a few stations before starting his own media firm in Tampa Bay a few years ago.
Marvelous Marvin made a surprise appearance for a week at 106.3 FM WJQV, True Oldies 106.3 .Marvin was sitting in for a vacationing Trevor Joe Lennon, and will also do some mid day work this week. Marvin was a smash on his debut week, phone lines jamming, and the station receiving mail like never before. Hopefully they can see what they have as a guest DJ, and make him permanent.
The Tampa Bay Radio Reunion has been meeting, and are almost set on the September reunion. Details will be coming in the next edition. This will be the 4th Annual. Sandy Hall has been the Chair for this year’s reunion, and has done a great job.
Craig ‘Catfish” Hunter is the new morning drive host at WSUF 103.5. He comes from Denver, Colorado where he hosted afternoons.
Til the next edition,
Live It Up!
Woodstock
I wonder if you have a lead I can pass on to our local state newspaper to anyone who was at Woodstock in '69? I'm casting a wide net to try to locate someone they can interview for a 40th anniversary feature. (Yes, 40!).
Kind regards,
