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.

Time. Life. Death. Ripples.
The longest song I ever played on the air was Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie which is just over 18 minutes long.
