… Chuck Roy, there’s not a dry eye in the house …
[Description by Martin Ashley]
In 1966-67, Chuck Gratner and I had worked together at KXOA when he
was doing overnights. In 1969, I returned to Sacramento to find Chuck Roy
on the afternoon drive shift at KROY honking his famous Model T-type horn.
As the story goes, PD Johnny Hyde told Chuck that when he screwed up on the
air  just honk the horn!
Then, there were the famous sign-offs. Chuck would play the same Santana
cut each evening underneath some ad-libbed story and finish with, “There’s not
a dry eye in the house!” Listeners would stop everything just to hear what
Chuck was going to say that evening. HONK!
