KMET Memories!

UPDATE:  this has been the best day of radio in years!  This is so fun and is brining back great memories and a few sad moments (they replayed the announcement of John Lennon’s death).  I know from my Facebook messages and comments that other So Cal fans are listening and loving it too.  

ROCK ON KMET!

If you grew up in So Cal in the 70’s and listened to rock and roll radio, you are in for a real treat, 
a blast from the past, 
a gathering of the Immoral Minority,  
a time to yell “Whoo-A”
 

because on FRIDAY JULY 10, The Sound (KWWD 100.3),  is doing 

a one-day revival of KMET complete with the original airchecks and many of the radio personalities from the station’s heyday.


Did your car have one of these?  
Mine sure did!


The “Mighty Met” was the best station on at the time and had all the grooviest, coolest DJ’s.  Do any of these names ring a bell:


Jeff Gonzer, Cynthia Fox, B. Mitchel Reed, Tom Donahue, Paraquat Kelley, Ace Young, Frazier Smith, Mary Turner, and of course, Jim Ladd (did you know he has a star on the Hollywood walk of Fame - he’s the god of all Rock DJ’s).  

I will be listening, I am really excited about it.  A slice of my youth served up by current fave station.  All I can say is:


I can’t wait for a nostalgic “little bit of heaven, 94.7, KMET - Tweedle Dee”!
