Happy Birthday Bob Green

Join us in wishing a happy birthday to Keener’s Bob Green. Bob’s artistry and personality were two of the key ingredients of WKNR’s success at the beginning and at the end of its nine year run. His story actually starts with WKMH, where he was among the voices calling for a move to the Storz/McLendon excitement that was happening in Dallas and Miami. In fact, Bob was drawn to Florida to work for Storz right before Mrs. Knorr took the Keener plunge. But he was quickly back in the saddle and contributed his production wizardry to WKNR’s glory years. As CKLW exerted its iron grip on Detroit’s radio consciousness, Bob was called back to town to help launch the Motor City Music brand on Keener and he continued to contribute his exceptional production talents to the business for the next 30 years. If it were not for Bob’s meticulous attention to detail (he would say he’s a pack rat) much of the Keener legacy would have vanished in to the cobwebbed recesses of our memories. Instead, Bob provided a firm foundation for keener13.com and continues to share his electronic treasures, his memories and his wisdom with us from the friendly confines of Bob Green Productions in Houston, Texas. From all of us who’s lives were molded by the WKNR magic, thank you, Bob! And many happy returns of the day!
