MORE FROM DRISKILL aka TONY D:
Tony D remembers,My first gig @ KAMP/El Centro ... fellow K-AMP alumni Brian White my P.D. @ 99-0ne KGGI (where I was almost an original staff member -- hired 2 mos. after sign-on).
Roomed with Bob West in Riverside. The 99-0ne softball team's line-up: 1B Brian White, 2B Andi Marshall, 3B Jerry Clifton, SS me, RF Bob Ridzak ... Bob West, Lisa Giles, Cliff Roberts,et al. mostly bar-tended...
Salt Lake City with Eric Rhoads, Shawn Demory, Steve Craig, & the rest of the COLOR 95 crew -- Kid Kraddick was my morning guy!!! I wonder whatever happened to him?
I did AM Drive on 99-KCPX for Wooley Waldron briefly ... lost him his job, too... Back to 99-one KGGI with Jerry & the Cliftones...
Here to the Valley until '93 when Bob West & Jerry Clifton asked me to program B95 in Fresno. We went from a 3.6 to a 10.6 in 11 months thanks to Hart & Coffey, PARKER!, Krazy Kid Stevenz, PicazzoBoy, & the rest..
Off to Milwaukee to Hot 102 ... ok, make that New Rock 102-One ... oops... Rocketman, Tommy, B.J., SINICROPPI, the Fresno gang, Rob, & alot of Lynenkugel's Red made it OK.
Back to the Valley as Station Manager/P.D. for Steve Stodelle Broadchasing ... sold to Dex Allen back in '98 ... became G.M. in 2001 ... sold to Joe Schwartz/Cherry Creek in 2004 ... love & loved every minute of it...
Proudest of my helping some super talents develope over the years -- too numerous to mention -- many of my 'kids' have gone on to great things. Thanks to my friend Jack Robbin/Steve Kessler -- my first radio boss, most sincerely. See-ya-Bye!
