KCUB-Tucson Bob Jones 11-20-1976

Worked my very first gig at KCUB (fall of 1974), thanks to Jim Arnold hiring me! This was 3 years later! Believe me! I sounded a LOT better (well to me anyway! ha ha.)
Crazy year for me...also worked for KJJJ-Phoenix, back to KCUB, then was hired in September at KIKX when it went Country.

KCUB-Tucson Bob Jones 02-19-1977

This was the VERY first time EVER live on the air. Thanks to Jim Arnold of KCUB for giving me a chance to get in the door. It's a Saturday night, Sunday morning shift! I don't have the vanity I used to have...and you can tell I was ROUGH around the edges!! Very rough. As I used to say, when I'd play this, I'd cringe! Part of life. Everyone had to have their first airshift...This was mine almost 50 years ago this November 2024

KCUB-Tucson Bob Jones 11-10-1974 Tape 1 of 2

This is the 2nd tape that was rolled of my first night EVER on the air!!
My 3rd Grade Picture! 57-58 School Year at John G. Anderson Elementary School in Tampa, FL
I had it down a bit better the 2nd hour as the jock before me hung out to make sure I could handle it, also correcting me on the right phrases, stuff like that..and yep! I wasn't familiar with Country that much...so many crossover songs!! Sorry my date was wrong...I heard the newscast on THIS tape and realized it was the news for November 10, 1974

KCUB-Tucson Bob Jones 11-10-74 Tape 2 of 2

KCUB-Tucson Bob Jones February 19 1977

My second night EVER on the air! Still rather green, but a bit smoother than my first night. This was when KCUB was still in their old studios in downtown Tucson.

KCUB-Tucson Bob Jones 11-17-1974

Probably about my 4th or 5th time on the air. Jim Arnold gave me some time off for an operation I had to have, so there was a gap!
This June 11, 2024 is the FIRST TIME EVER I've posted this aircheck!!
The "DJ" is a little rough, but some GREAT Country tunes!!

KCUB-Tucson Bob Jones February 24 1975

I had just returned to Tucson from working at KDAV in Lubbock. Improvement in my delivery is VERY noticeable!!

KCUB-Tucson Bob Jones August 1976

My second night EVER on the air!! I was pretty green. Ironically this tape ENDS with the very first song I played my first night on the air...Memory Maker by Mel Tillis!
