A fun, creative look back when Bill Drake, Ron Jacobs & Gene Chenault created history with the "more music" format and the legendary Disc Jockeys, "Boss Jocks", we loved listening to on our AM transistor radios in Southern California. This video remembers the early years of 93 KHJ Radio in Boss Angeles,(1965 to 1970), as seen through the eyes of a boy growing up in the 1960's, in Anaheim, CA, who loved the 60’s Rock and Roll music and who dreamed of becoming a Boss Jock.
You’ll also see & hear KHJ 20/20 news with Jim Lawrence, Marv Howard, Art Kevin, J. Paul Huddleston, Lyle Kilgore, Bill Brown, Roger Aldi, Danny Baxter Sports and more, along with some of the greatest 60's songs that 93 KHJ Boss Radio ever played. During the 3 months or so of creating, researching and working on this video, I found out that this would not be considered "PURE" or "Authentic" to many radio enthusiasts and I don't claim it to be but the pictures and audio I've added and adjustments of radio recordings or “air checks” were necessary for the story to flow
and won't change anyone's perspective of how KHJ Radio really was. I loved 93 KHJ Boss Radio and just wanted to say so from "My Perspective" and "My Dream" as a boy and try to make it a little more fun to watch and listen to by adding a little humor. Some of you may say "Very Little" but I’m reading comedy books and hopefully my jokes will get better. There are many "Pure" & "Authentic" websites and Videos out there with untouched KHJ memorabilia and radio recordings or “air checks” and I'm grateful they exist. I've listed the links to many of those sites below and encourage you to check them out.
I wanted to create something different while showing how KHJ Boss Radio influenced me as a boy and I’ve added something special at the end that I haven’t seen on any other KHJ tribute video. It's called "Where are They Now" and all the information you see there comes from extensive research. If you believe something is not accurate or should be updated, please let me know & I'll add an “Update” section to this “Video Description” after verifying the information.
Even though my video can’t be filed under the “Pure & Authentic” category, it could be filed under the “Creative” or “From a Fan’s Perspective” category. My channel is NOT “Monetized”. Some of the song artists may receive something but that’s up to YouTube. Not everything should be about money. I hope you enjoy my Tribute to 93 KHJ Boss Radio and would love to hear your comments, both good & bad.
