A while back I posted a Gary Lockwood aircheck from August, 1980 where a young lady called in and told Gary that she wanted to be a DJ when she grew up. That left us wondering if she had ever realized her dream of being in radio. Is it possible that she was actually KJR’s “Sunshine Sherry” all along? Check it out for yourself by comparing these 3 audio clips, the last featuring Ichabod Caine with Sunshine Sherry. Maybe someone who worked at KJR at the time can let us know.
