Ron attended specs?

[Momo]

I didn't know - or forgot - that Ron was a Specs graduate.

Didn't he talk a lot about how Dick Kiernan kept telling him he needed to learn how to be a producer?

The caller pace in the tribute show is staggering, I know nothing of Jukebox Johnny but am glad to hear of his Specs Howard lineage.

I made many industry friends who went to Specs and came to Micro Markets, and much larger opportunities.

JJ's recent on-air mention of Bob Allison prompts memories of a TV ad that aired in Saginaw where B.A. referred to "his radio program," of which I knew nothing at that time. It seems fitting to note this during a Ron tribute show.

Did Ron correctly read the copy of Bo's death? And yes, Jukebox, we knew Ron broke the news. He mentioned it many times.

That right.

[Momo]

The reference to Jukebox as JJ reminds me of Trenton JJ. It would be nice to hear from him today. And Gutterball Tony, if he's not really dead.

[Bobbert]

Great analogy—Ron represented the fan in the cheap seats.

Caller #3: Gary, the old producer from WPON.

[Bobbert]

Gary from Tawas, who once reminisced on Ron's show about all the old Detroit burlesque houses.

[Momo]

The Lou Gordon tribute show Jukebox mentioned.

[Momo]

Well, Gary, Ron WAS in some people's back pockets.

[Bobbert]

First nomination for Bartlett's:

"The Tigers pooped their pants last night."

[Momo]

No socks, no can openers.

[Momo]

The Tigers should give Ron a posthumous press pass in his honor.
