Welcome!

"when used in folk and bluegrass music, the instrument can also be referred to as an upright bass, standup bass, bass fiddle, ...doghouse bass, dog-house, ...or bunkhouse bass." (Wikipedia)

My father, Charlie, played the bass in a Canadian band in the 1950s hence the name!

Radio

Radio Beijing QSL card, late 70s

My first QSL, HCJB in Quito Ecuador 1978

Radio Slovakia’s funky looking building in Bratislava. All indications are that they will quit shortwave at the end of 2010.

The 1987 ANARC Convention

Joan Chao Mei Yee of the then Voice of Free China in Taipei, Taiwan and Fred Waterer

Radio Norway QSL

Mike Filey, Mary Feeley and Tom Fulton

The AM 740 morning crew, circa 2002, until Tom Fulton’s untimely death.

My pal Brian Smith

One of the best friends I will ever have. Gone but not forgotten, Brian passed away on March 19, 2009. His knowledge of, and enthusiasm for music, radio, and AM740 in particular, was limitless.

One of the tastier stations on the dial!

Don Andrews

I met Don through the AM 740 yahoo group founded by Brian Smith. He’s a radio veteran who, like the WKRP theme suggests, has been “up and down the dial”. You can link to Don’s website via my homepage.

Marilyn and Fred

My good friend Marilyn, another fan of great music and great radio. I met her through the 740 yahoo group and as you can see, met her in person in 2003. No one wears a tiara like Sistah Mar!

My friend Ken Conlin operates Humboldt 101 out of Humboldt, California. He had some gopher issues a few years ago so I had some fun with it. ;-) You can link to Humboldt 101 via my homepage.

Treasure Island Oldies

Michael Godin, host of Treasure Island Oldies is a pioneer of internet broadcasting, starting the show in 1997. I never miss a trip to the island, heard Sundays at 9pm Eastern, 6pm Pacific. Link on my homepage.
