… You will be quite the struttin’ popinjay, walkin’ along the beach with that thing smashed up against your face …
Radio is a pretty small world at times. You’ll work for someone who will tell you stories of people they’ve worked with, only to find yourself in close proximity with the subject of those stories at a later date. It’s hapened to me many times during my career and Ken Levine was one of those people.Many will know his name from writing credits on Mash, Cheers and dozens of other great sitcoms, and as Beaver Cleaver on KIQQ, KYA, WDRQ and KTNQ, to name a few. An old roommate had worked with Ken at KERN, so I had heard a lot about him.
Well, one night at movie screening at 20th Century Fox, we finally met. Less than a year later, Ken was doing weekends at KFI and I took the opportunity to record an hour of one my favorite people.
