Bill loved his jazz. For a while he was a very successful rock jock but this was his music. He was having a "Musical Bill Affair" well into the 1970s.

Jim Pewter 1980
Welcome back Jim. Minnesotan Jim Pewter was an AFKN vet in the mid 60s and then took on Los Angeles radio and was a part of rock, writing, producing, performing and jocking. A quadruple threat? Jim made the memories happen again and introduced me to a lot of great music. Here's a 1980 visit.

Adventure Theatre 1977
Well into the 1980s, we ran a lot of oldtime radio. We had access to huge libraries, restrictions on the television product made it another way to present a good story. When it was being presented as a 'story', it was done well. When it was 'nostalgia', it was a harder sell. By 1980 90% of the troops hadn't been there for network radio, making it quaint. They didn't understand where the joke even was with Fibber McGee joking about 'ration points'. But drama, mystery and some comedy could be very entertaining.
Here's a 1977 repackaging of a 1940s broadcast.
John Doremus 1967
Great music, wonderful stories, and... that voice. John Doremus was one amazing talent.
