An eclectic, entertaining set from Lon, including a substantial tribute to National Disc Jockey Day (which was yesterday). He gave props to many of the DJs who broke ground by playing early rock & roll on the air, along with later DJs like Casey Kasem. (I had no idea Casey had been the voice of Shaggy on the Scooby-Doo cartoons.) Many thanks, Lon!
