I listened to Bruce Wayne growing up. He crashed and died two days before my high school graduation I live near Fullerton Airport. Every time I drive by, I think of KFI In The Sky! Recently, I was a traffic tipster for Tommy Jaxson when traveling to work to Irvine. One morning, I was driving through Santa Fe Springs at 6 AM. I saw police swam the area. Tommy told me that there was a man with a gun. Also, Mike O’ Brien was flying directly over me. Tommy was talking to me. Then , Mike saw my car and flashed his light to say Hi and to tell me all was Ok. When Tommy retired, Jennifer York was on KNX. I got to talk to her. One day, she said, wait until I talk to Mike I said Say Hi From Tipster Rod. We all had a great laugh. Thank You Traffic Reporters for many good times. Thank You Ted Z. I talked to you by phone on KOST, and 95.9 The Fish!

Oh Love Songs on KOST is iconic LA. I'm 51 now and that era was so influential in my life. I was a love sick depressed high school kid in the late 80s.... so many nights stealing my moms car so I could park it at La Brea tarpits and listen to your tunes. I wish you were still on air :( Your touch, your voice, and your care on that show is like no other. Hope you are well... please let us know if you're doing a different show somewhere else. Maybe you should go online! Much love and respect!!!

I saw Bobby Kimmel in the early 70’s at a Coffeehouse called “”In the Alley” in Escondido, Ca. He was with a group called “The Floating House Band”…. They were amazing..such amazing harmonies. 20 years later I thought of them and looked them up on the internet. They came up as having played at McCabes. I emailed McCabes that I had seen that band 20 years earlier and had one of them gone on to be one of the “Eagles”….a wonderful person sent me a lengthy email explaining that I was mistaken and went on to explain about who The Floating House Band had been and the relation to the Stone Ponies. That kind person who undoubtedly took a chunk of his time to educate me was Bobby Kimmel. It was an act of kindness I appreciate to this day. Thank you for making this video…it shows him to be as kind as I always thought he must be.

What about reviewing the work of THE most …….damn how do I describe the way he communicated? Not articulate, not flowery, although those both apply. He started in the early 60’s and then by the 70’ talk radio. But I’ve never heard before, or since a man who could speak in a more colorful and creative style than BILL BALANCE. I know he was at KRLA in the the early years, and ended up at KFMB in Dan Diego. He was truly amazing, and likely not around anymore. Can you find something on him?

The Invasion of Catalina Island was great.

I love hearing about the muse/girl behind the songs. Thanks for sharing.

Nice guy. Linda Ronstadt is the greatest most versatile female vocalist of her generation.

I remember hearing on airchecks, "Using the R E system, Mike Nolan with Traffic on California's Coast!" What is the R E system?

If you seriously think those two could sing or write your hearing needs to be checked they suck why do you think Mardi Gras album tanked think about it

John was CCR, not these guys! They screwed John over big time by selling out their rights to an oil company for a small amount of cash behind John’s back! John wrote all the hits!

I was so fortunate to work at KGIL radio in LA during Dick's first run there. Such great memories. He and I are still in touch and our relationship gets better all the time.

Thank you so much for this interview !! It's priceless . Thank God For Suzy Horton . She is wonderful and beautiful .

Because of Engineer Bill, I drank my milk and ate my vegetables.

William F. Williams was my neighbor growing up, very nice family, more than just neighbors. It was very nice when they did the 35 year reunion...does anyone know that Jimmy Webb wrote "up up and away in my beautiful balloon" after Mr. Williams flew him in the KMEN hot air balloon?

i listened to Sweet Dick on KGIL in 1970 and on and he always made me laugh. i actually heard the bit with the guy that played meat and its nearly as clear as having seen it on tv. and also when he hung the painting in the bathroom in the "Louver" as he called it. i am surprised that it didn't come up about the tv program...Almost Anything Goes where he played the part of a sportscaster (and convincingly so) while the participants flung pizza over a high jump bar, the winners being the ones who got the most intact pizzas over the bar and back to the ground. HILARIOUS. if he's still with us, I would love to get to meet him and express my appreciation. he's a master.

Monty Moore! My favorite A's announcer....

Wow , loss for words.. Really Happy to see the faces to the Voices and I must say Thank you to all of these people for all of your hard work,Bless you and your family's

agree he was great

UNIQUE STYLE OF HIS OWN.........VERY GOOD DRUMMER

I am to 62, and finally decided to google my childhood favorite DJ. Sweet Dick was the voice in the kitchen while my mom made us breakfast before school. I was probably in the 3th-6th grade. I will never forget having my mom take me to pick out a birthday card for Sweet Dick. I can still remember picking it out and going home to sign it. I was devastated as a kid, he never wrote me, but I was a kid! = ) Anyways, the card was a bird pooping on a man's head. It said, "Dick you fool, Duck!" Have a Happy Birthday! I still remember the card, and how perfect it was! If you ever see this Dick, please know you made my childhood and that of my brother's. Thank you more than you will ever know.

LOVED This!!! Read Jimmy Webb's autobiography and wanted to know more about Susy. She has lived an amazing life. THANK YOU for This❤ New Subscriber.

Sad to hear we lost Chris Roberts Friday 5-12-23.

We got KFI and KNX1070. I grew up listening to Mike Nolan's traffic reports.

Saludo al buen bateria douglas cliford.

Love you Doug.... you are one of my best drummers. I listen to CCR and always pay attention to your drumming. Long live Doug and may God bless you and your family.

Excellent 👍😊 program! Engineer Bill was my childhood hero! Someone I did get to emulate. To this day I do have a permanent American Flyer layout with the same rolling stock as featured in the program. Got to see Engineer Bill briefly when he made an appearance at the newly opened Market Basket supermarket on the corner of VanOwen and DeSoto Streets in Canoga Park in August 1963. Got to meet him at the Toy Train Operating Society National Convention on the Queen Mary in Long Beach in 1996 while wearing my conductor's uniform. The uniform is what I wore as a volunteer for the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, CA. Got to wear it at his memorial service in Westlake Village and jet Kathryn too. I too remember the Kennedy assassination. Regular programming was on hold for a week! The program format changed after that. First with "Funny Company" then the Nine Island theme in the Summer of 1964. The theme changed again in the Fall of 1965 as it turned into "Engineer Bill's malt shop". It had kids acting like teenagers. I lost interest and had to buckle down on my schoolwork at that time. By 1966, Bill was gone but not my fond memories. Seeing the old clips brings a few tears,... like seeing a long lost friend again. Thanks for the great life lessons and the cherished memories. ❤️

I've long been captivated by Jimmy's work. I also loved Suzy's song "in the Stardust". Thank you for this beautiful and well done interview!

I remember playing the big whistle at a lumber store opening didn't hit the big whistle though although I became a locomotive engineer for Burlington Northern Santa Fe haven't retired in 2012

The one that got away. Still beautiful today.

Finley's non payment of Monte's medical insurance premiums is consistent with his reputation as an SOB. Monte didn't get his hospital bills paid until Finley received negative publicity. This type of behavior caused Finley to lose the services of a hall of fame pitcher, Catfish Hunter, when he failed to make payments to an insurance annuity which were required to be paid under his contract. When Finley tried to make amends, it was too late, Hunter filed a grievance, became a free agent, and signed with the Yankees.

Monte mentions a basketball game he announced between the Kansas City Steers of the American Basketball League and a team from Ohio. He means the Cleveland Pipers coached by Bill Sharman. Monte just had a senior moment. As a teenager living in Kansas City, I followed the Steers on radio and probably listened to the playoff game he mentioned.

sorry, i tried! he is a good drummer, but he should stay away from writing...

urgh, sorry, but he can't ...!!!

I remember Mike Nolan when he worked at KOY in the sky in Phoenix, AZ for many years. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Good job on producing this memory making blast from the past, thanks for sharing it.

Gotta love Ross's photographic memory at his age of details of events in his career. Very impressed! Keep workin' Ross. It keeps you young! God bless.

I remember Dick on WPOP in the late 1960's. One of the better on-air personalities. Think Dick was doing late afternoons on 1410.

As a seasoned Old Head Musician, I became fasinated by this story. I have known for decades that "music is feeling" The heart felt composure of this music is what made these songs hits.

What a FANTASTIC interview. I'm actually going to see Jimmy in concert tomorrow in Manchester England 5th June 2022. He is my lifetime songwriting hero. Hope I get the chance to say a personal hello. I am also a professional pianist myself. And composer. Thankyou Suzy for inspiring so much beautiful music x

He never did figure out how to pronounce Venezuela. He always said it like this - ven zoo WAY luh.

I had the honor of working with Mark Ford circa late 60's early 70's....he did amazing things with a razor blade, splicing tape and recording tape. It's so great to hear "the past" glory days of radio on I REMEMBER RADIO. Tell a friend!!

Bobby Blue himself, in this interview, states that the riot was at the 1970 concert, not 1968!!!...Also, Hendrix was never known to personally negotiate for more money just before going onstage...if that happened, it was his managers that were doing that!...Hendrix did have some tardy appearances at concerts, but for other reasons...This info is a real-putdown of Hendrix...he was a moody guy, especially towards the end of his life, but the money issues he left those things to his management...Jimi himself is not here to defend himself...how about doing more research before slagging Hendrix?
