  VERY COOL. I have heard airchecks of him at WWJD, KYA, WFUN, KJR (father Duffy) NOW KGB. I wonder if WUBE and other stations will show up?

  What a character. 2nd time at KJR he hit a train on Harbor Island near the station., lucky to survive. Broke his arm. Can still see him with that cast on!

  KJR wasn’t on Harbor Island. It was on 26th Ave SW. Maybe he was down on Harbor Island looking for a job at KOL. 😉 or he left the Blue Eagle and then then hit the train in the vicinity.

    Bingo! He had just left a tavern and had a little run-in with a train in the dark. There was talk of a lawsuit and Bwana claimed he would own the railroad when it was over.

  KJR was at 2600-26th Ave. S. W. and KOL was at 1100 W. Florida St. The joint was The Blew Eagle.

  I knew that about JR. Was to late to correct. He had been at the Blue eagle. From what I recall, he was driving the PD Nick
  Anthony’s car and was a flat bed train close to sunset. Nifty’s on Harbor Island was another spot staff would stop at. The Beach Broiler was the fancy place to go for a drink, then it became Salty’s. The shack was the fast food place. Not sure that KOL was as much a threat as KING was at the time. Was a very turbulent time at KJR as Gary Shannon could probably attest to. Wasn’t to long after this that Steve West arrived as PD and Shannon Sweate as GM.

  Great song on the aircheck, Diddy wa Diddy by Captain Beefheart 1966. Jason, worth featuring the song on your front page. Really cool sound!
