harbor cruise and more
Last Saturday (9-14), Budda Khan (Ed Carter) co-hosted a show with me on the Internet and who knows?
That nite, Ms. Megablogger and I took a very relaxing harbor cruise out of Ports O Call, with a nice drive back and forth between San Pedro over the bridge. It was a prime rib dinner, open bar - wow! - and some very romantic sights and sites between Pedro and Shoreline...we even danced...and danced fast to Shout. Mike Stark was generous in this regard.
That nite, Wagman called to tell me of a problem with cruisinmusic and began talking to Shea as I wasn't home. In previous visits, he couldn't care less about her, but after speaking with her at length, he believes she'll be the next big thing in radio, and guess what? She just might be. It's hysterical.
Ken B. of the 2 Kens was down this weekend over chances of taking over the station, but what a diff. a few days make. Now it's all thumbs up. Hoping so.
Kirt was in and out of touch on various stories like Alan Katz, who went off on TV. Cable ran my Huggy Boy show twice, very emotional, especially for Ms. Megablogger.
So, Wednesday nite, Shea does her first show with Wagman, except the station freezes up, so we don't get it, and by the time we do, I've gone to a police mtg. about To Catch A Predator, so I don't catch any of her show, but learn a ton about sexual offenders. She and Wagman, and Sylvia, thought it was good to great, can't wait to hear it. Now she and Wag are getting remarkably tight.
Thursday, went to h.s. lunch with Bill, Alan, Jim Van Leuven, McDougal. Had learned that a.m. in PT that Danny Flores had died, so decided to go to Forest Lawn. Before all of that, checked out three record deals and got an example of the Rosetta Stone of 45 collecting, the original packaging RCA sent out the first 45s in 1949...bunch of 45s, LPs and EPs...even a book on record collecting, from 2 sisters in two different houses, $3 and #15. Then met a gay guy on the Shore, very unpleasant, then went to lunch. Drove up to Forest Lawn for Flores funeral, very sad, kids sang and played...glad I went. Al A and the Roadrunner were there and Gary showed up. Full house and more.
Sat., no toilet, stopped up. Waited all day for Rick, who finally showed up, which was good. Couldn't reach any plumbers, except one who refused to give us a quote, so we refused to give him our biz. Dicey, since Rick was maybe 50-50 about showing up.
Sunday, went to record show, saw Mark S., Mike N., Mike V., Mike S., Ray (big story about trip back to GA to meet up with asshole about $1 LPs), Dennis N., Blas, Jim, Mark G., Phil, Jim P., Jim C., Dennis L., Robby, Randy F., Mike W., Tony, Randy T. and more...I'm some sort of male collector magnet - picked up about 50 45s at fire sale prices, some of them quite valuable, some flyers, good, bad, very few ugly. Saw Al A. at show, told me there was a reception for Huggy after funeral, as I gave talk, wondered why I wasn't included? Wouldn't have gone necessarily.
