These air checks were contributed to the web site by Terry Alexander. He transferred them himself from a reel to reel tape and it’s a great quality transfer,
The air checks are from 1977 and like the 1979 air checks from KOME on the site, they also feature music from the “Johnson Years.” Music from when LBJ was president . The clip features a great set of music which includes free form era favorites as well as some Top 40 nuggets. Great to here less known San Francisco bands such as the Vejtables. The DJ featured on the air checks is Jona Denz-Hamilton who still works in the San Jose area on KBAY FM.
Thank you Terry for these excellent recordings and I have more tape from the set to upload in the future.

I was excited to hear this aircheck, but I don’t think this is me. I was on the air for the LBJ Years weekend on KOME, but I think this is Karin Nakamura. Karin works with me at 945 Bay FM (KBAY) these days. I’ve sent her and a couple of other old pals who were also on the air that weekend, the link to this site.
Nice to hear the voice of my old KLOK on air partner, Jona Denz-Hamilton. Of course this sampling was 6 years before we met. Jona is one of the most enthusiastic individuals one could ever meet. Natural ability to connect with the listener, which is why they like her so much. I like her too. She is my friend after all.

WASSUP! Is it ok if I could post some old airchecks of mine? I worked at KYLD(WiLD 94-9) in San Francisco, where I served as a member of The Doghouse Morning Show, and also did many other things? I’ll talk to you all later!
