    Dave, I enjoyed listening to you on KFWB back in the 67-68 time frame while going to school at Arinona State U. On one of the shows, you were interviewing the Strawberry Alarm Clock re In cence and pprmnt. I think you had Beautiful Bob before you and probably BMR, also. Great days of radio, even if the AM faded in and out. Even had a former roomate tell me his family knew you from one of past haunts. Always questioned that until his funeral when his older brothers said it was true. Family last name was Schramm..Great to see this site.
