[DESCRIPTION BY UNCLE RICKY, CONTRIBUTED BY JEFF MARCH]
Gary Lockwood is ballsy and sensibly sassy on KJR (950 Khz) on Saturday, June 9, 1979. The station’s (nice!) jingles (JAM?) have a beat reflective of 1979, and Disco Saturday Night is coming up. But the playlist in this half-hour, recorded from 3:48 – 4:18 PM Pacific Time, tempts triple torture with three male ballads, each with piano. Ugly indeed, but the record out of the top of the hour has to be in the Top 100 of the all-time worst records to play out of a hot top-of-hour ID.
The station had it goin’ on otherwise. The Seattle Entertainment Calendar is casually presented without fanfare, very hip. There are several upcoming events and some very tight and dense breaks, not only for the station, but for the sponsors. The ‘scoped version demonstrates the good sounding stopsets which are enjoyable, not only for the production value, but for the local content. It sounds as though the local Seattle club scene was rockin’!
