30 Years Ago – The Final Week of Honey Radio Began

While surfing Facebook today, someone posted that it was Lorna Luft's Birthday. Why did that strike a chord with me? As soon as I read it, I could hear my old morning show partner saying her name in his Elvis voice.

Monday, November 21, 1994. 6:00 AM. My partner Rob Main and I walked into the studio of WHND to begin what would be the last week of live broadcasts from Honey Radio.

It is probably a huge coincidence that just a few weeks ago, I wrote a blog about him, but then again, sometimes … Continue reading Picking a Partner →

Remembering my friend, Jay

In 1994, I was working at Honey Radio. Richard D. had a box full of jokes and show prep that he had collected over some time. He recycled many lines and adapted them to make them current. One day, while prepping his Top 12 at 12, I noticed a brown "newsletter looking" booklet. The title … Continue reading Remembering my friend, Jay →

“World Radio Day” Thank You

I guess it never ceases to amaze me that there is pretty much a day for everything. While everyone knows that it is "Fat Tuesday" (the day to eat those huge overstuffed donuts), I was reminded that today is World Radio Day. I was thinking about one of my deceased radio colleagues last night as … Continue reading “World Radio Day” Thank You →
