Does anyone have a complete list of all the KGB Homegrown albums
that were ever produced? I heard a rumor that there was one from
83 or 84 with a tonearm on an LP on the cover but an ex-DJ is
pretty sure that 1979 was the last year one was done.

Thanks, Ken. You got me off my lazy butt to walk to the garage and
open my LP collection.

I have the entire Homegrown collection - unopened. Yes, there was a
Homegrown LP released in '83 with a tonearm on an LP. Prduced by Jim
McInnes and Scott Chatfield, this album (unlike all the other releases)
does not contain songs written about San Diego.

PS -- Who's the ex-DJ?

Bill Hergonson was the DJ. He was at KGB during the Homegrown
years and at Z-90 during 83-84. He did refer me to Jim McInnes
but I never got around to contacting him.

Bill Hergonson, or "Hergon" (aka "Cap'n Billy") as he was
affectionately known on the air, was the guy who started it all. He
came across a crappy little ditty called "Chula Vista" and played it on
KGB. They started getting requests...other local bands started
submitting their songs... they compiled the best of San Diego songs and
cut a record. The rest is history.

Cameron Crowe (writer, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Almost Famous)
wrote the liner notes on the back side of HomeGrown I.

Bill Hergonson is selling an original Homegrown 1 album, still sealed.
He'll provide a note written by him authenticating this copy. If
anyone is interested let me know and I'll provide his email privately.

He had it on eBay at one time but didn't get any bids.
