Richard Fatherley, 1958 DJ Convention Kansas City

We will miss Richard Ward Fatherley. Funeral Mass will be on March 19 at St. Agnes Church in Roeland Park, Kansas. Write for directions to the services. Dick Fatherley was a friend of REELRADIO for over a decade, freely sharing his research and recordings. This studio recording of Richard W. Fatherley features his original paper prepared for the third K-State Great Plains Radio History Symposium in 2008, and it's all about the first-ever Disc Jockey Convention & Radio Programming Seminar. Sponsored by Storz' WHB, it was held on March 7, 8 and 9, 1958.

Jefferson Kaye, KIKX Tucson AZ October 1967 (restored)

We think that this Jefferson Kaye is actually Shadoe Stevens, and not the WKBW Program Director a few years later. This was a hot radio station in 1967 and this is a nice 30-minute unscoped snapshot! Thanks to The Bob Jones Collection.

"... Todd (Storz) and some others were sitting around figuring out what they could do on their station and they noticed that WDSU had a program called the Top 20. And they thought if the Top 20 was successful, that the Top 40 would be even better - and that's what they said - We're going to be twice as good as WDSU 'cause we're gonna play - The Top 40."
