KMSA Uncle Duke August 6 Side V Pt. 1

I think this is my oldest and most embarrassing aircheck.  Speed reading the sports on KEPC in Colorado Springs.  Age 16.

Tim reads the sports KEPC 1983

Dead Milkmen ID

Good example of one of my early hip hop shows.  Not enough rap to fill 3 hours, so soul, funk,R&B in the mix.  I met Public Enemy around this time because I was always writing letters to rap labels asking for records.  

ID at the top with the local college basketball star, Anthony Thomas.  Divine Sounds then a long mix I found on vinyl at Wax Trax in Denver with Planet Rock, Cyndi Lauper, Culture Club (with heavy scratching), Joystick by Dazz Band, Survival (Message 2)Electric KIngdom, Cameo, Newcleus Jam on It.  More stuff I can't remember.  No breaks, just tunes.

My dad had a reel to reel and recorded thisinterview with me.  1973 I think.  I wanted a bike.

Tim Wants a Bike for Christmas

After Midnite Subliminal Promo

I met Bill Stephney and spent some time at Def Jam offices when I was in New York for New Music Seminar.  I pestered Bill to get me a phoner, because The Rain was climbing the pop charts.  I think it peaked at #9.  I did a long interview, then turned it into a 6 part series in late 1986.

Mancrab was a Tears For Fears offshoot and this song appeared on the Karate Kid 2 Soundtrack. Hey, I listened to everything that came in to the radio station. Hey look it's Icehouse and INXS! So much for Guy Dobson's opinion that I didin't know enough about Aussie rock to work at Triple M Brissie. Ha! I was fond of chainsaw segues, so here is the first appearance of a TV Tune, the The Jetsons theme. Show #1 had Robert Palmer's cover of Cherelle's I didn't mean to turn you on.

After Midnite Aug 8 1986

Aircheck of my last radio show in Grand Junction, Colorado before I moved to L.A., got married in Las Vegas on NYE, then moved to Sydney.  All in the 6 months that followed.  My 1 hour of "homosexual and lesbian" dedications shows my Howard Stern influence.  It was clumsy, but my heart was in the right place.  A few choice lines in there - "hicks" is a good one. 

My Last Show Q93 Dec 12 1992 "What Are they going to do, fire me?"

Did the overnights then breakfast, a nine hour shift.  I was 20.
