Al Anthony called and fulfilled a life long dream !
I Found KFXM and the magic of the music in 1958. It was a thrill to hear that rock n' roll and the impression it had on me. How can such magic come out of plastic and grooves and over the air to my radio? The influence is immeasureable to a youngster.
I was at the Valley College station
from 1966 as a student. I Got drafted into the military in 1969, Marine
Corps of all things, and wound up doing DJ on-air
work at the Radio station in Okinawa for a year. Playing the current
top 40 hits. That was a dream come true
for anybody in the military !! Couldn't have it better if you were the
General's driver or favorite son. That was 1970/71. I got out in
June1971.
Around November of 1971 I heard Al Anthony at KFXM was looking for a weekender. Contacted him and I told him I was interested. Miracles happened and he picked me. I was in heaven knowing I'd be DJing at the station I had listened to since 1958 and be at the place where so many DJs worked that I had admired through the years. Now that's a dream come true!! First time on air there was the jitters, to put it mildly. I couldn't help be intimidated by the history of the station. I was now on the other side of a station I had listed to for so long . It was the station that nurtured my growing years. Now I'm playing the 45s I heard as a listened to growing up? That was a time warp in itself. I found myself inside the magic that I admired for so long.
After KFXM, I never ventured into radio again although it was always in my heart. I lingered to do it again but knew Radio was not for me. That was more for the really creative people I admired. Wound up at CBS-TV Los Angeles in 1976 have been there since. 30 years now. I Maintain and support their Avid editing systems. Work with a great group of people who are just that: nice people. I've been lucky for a long time.
I hung around the station in 1968. I know the guys on both stations were gearing up for Union representation. A strike came along in October 1968. Got a phone call from Al Anthony the morning they walked out. He asked me to come in to jock. I told him I couldn't do it. So, I stayed out during the Jones Boys era, 68-69. Picketing was no fun but the guys were committed. Strike fizzled out and Tullis & Hearne won out. Even though I couldn't help Al in 1968, and basically turned my back on his request, he was kind enough to hire me in 1971 for weekends. Now that's a gentleman that didn't hold a grudge!.
