QUESTIONS–TECNICAL ISSUES???
Very interesting interview. I now know so much more. I cannot wait to hear part 2. It will be” riveting” I did hear an aircheck regarding Kevin,s cash call. I may even have it somewhere. It was on the 1995 reunion.
Gary mentioned Bill Haley and the Comets playing at a drag race in 1973. I was there that night and they were great, much to my surprise.
Enjoyed this first segment. Always liked Gary on the air. Where did you and Norm get those homework questions and answers? Were they real questions from listeners?
Also, a small connection. I bought your parents Granada condo to be a rental. Nice people. Bad investment. Stucco problem.
