Random thoughts from the 60s and beyond.

Saturday, July 31, 2004

Bob Berry is one of the rare announcers who has been able to sustain a successful on-air career for over three decades. He grew up listening to Keener, worked for a time at CKLW and is still spinning at Orlando's Big 100. He is also regularly points us in the direction of cool web resources that dovetail perfectly with what we love at keener13.com. Here's an example: If you were a WKNR-FM fan, you probably came across the "Rock Family Tree" books by Peter Frame. They trace who-played-with-whom in painstakingly drawn, detailed artistry that gives an instant understanding of different corners of rock's evolution. Peter rarely gives interviews, but when Bob sent me a JPG of the Byrds Family Tree recently, I went searching and found this translation of a conversation he had with an Italian magazine. He's one of those unknowns who had a big influence on the popular culture of the 60s.
