KDAY was at the very top of the dial. They played mostly the same as everybody else, BUT they were notorious for their promotions of offbeat, not so well known, but aspiring groups as well. The station had quite a following.

“BTW did you know George was one of the last of the old time Democrats?”

Oh yeah. A friend of Reagan, too. George was part of the Hollywood crowd and had some amazing stories when one of his old pals would stop by.

Do you remember Terry Anderson from George’s show? Black fellow from South Central who was absolutely great on illegal immigration. He died way too soon.
