I just found this group and I'm getting a real kick out of your posts,
guys. I was a dj on KMPX in San Francisco (where Donahue & Co. started
it all, by most accounts) from '71 till March '72. I had the sad
"honor" of playing the last rock'n'roll record on the station before
the demonic NY owners pulled the plug. I had Pinkertons at my elbow
(actually, just outside the studio door, since it was illegal for them
to be in the booth with me). We used to have free reign to play
anything that tickled our fancy, including live music by drop in
artists I went to KSJO in San Jose and later to KOME in San Jose after
KMPX, as well as the odd shift at KSAN, on my own cable TV show, etc.
Does anybody have airchecks of KMPX between 1967 and 1972? My
production reel and misc. stuff was stolen out of my car many years
ago. The only KMPX aircheck I have is of my last show in March of '72.
Mighty sad program.

Keep up the great work, folks. I'll try to contribute some useful info
and compile my list of prog rock station "turntable hits," as they were
called. That was because they were faves on FM radio, but nobody bought
them.

Thanks for the post, Tom, and welcome. Chakra Chip Cookies playing as I
type.

It's very encouraging that lately more of the creative radio seeds
planted decades ago and left uncultivated by the wayward industry, are
sprouting, and via new technologies are growing over under and around
the soulless machine called commercial broadcasting.

We've been busy lately supplying Radio Free Phoenix
www.radiofreephoenix.com with missing pieces for their music library
holes... Their playlist is already over 7,000 tracks, and contains much
of what was/is essential to free form programming as we know it.

I understand that RFP will be checking here for more suggestions,
recollections and memory joggers in the quest to assemble and build a
definitive collection. Your contributions will be most appreciated.

73, Douglas
