Sam Lawson’s Audio Vault: Citizen Bill, KING – October, 1977

“Citizen Bill Carpenter” (Steve Taylor in real life) could be heard filling in for any of the KING regulars. Here we catch him on a Sunday afternoon as he plays “the greatest British hits of all time.” Also, the “Twin Red Money Vans” are on the street, the Seahawks can’t get on the board, and Debbie Boone gets lit.

  1. Listen to the fantastic KYA un-scoped air check of Joe Michael’s. You’ll find it under Bill’s air check. What a great blast from the past!
    This is one of the cleanest air check’s I’ve ever heard. Sounds like it was recorded off the tower, but right on site? If not for KFRC, this station would have owned San Francisco!

  2. That was a great time, in the mid-‘70’s at KREM. Andy Barber, Bruce Murdoch, Rob Conrad (Glen Denning), Rob Harder, who went on to KFRC, Bob Cochran…and Citizen Bill. He did some Theater, while in Spokane at 97KREM. An incredible talent and voice!
