[Description by Uncle Ricky]
Our late friend Tim Benko sent this tape to me in October, 1998. I’m happy to share it with REELRADIO visitors as we begin our seventh year online (February 12, 2002.) Tim wanted you to hear this.
It’s kind of sad to hear Superjock Larry Lujack just playing records back to back (without even an ID! – and the reverb was still on!) but that’s what WLS was doing in 1982. On the other hand, Uncle Lar’s “interview” with “teenage” DJ (new WLS employee) Chris Shebel is classic Lujack. Larry plays Shebel’s aircheck from Columbus, Ohio (WXGT) and asks lots of “very personal and embarrassing questions”. Tim wrote (in 1998) that Shebel had just left WVTY-FM in Pittsburgh. Not everyone gets an interview with Superjock, but we are unsure if Lar’s interest advanced Mr. Shebel’s career.
Lujack also announces new schedules for Animal Stories. Please, no comments on that; Tim tried to get permission to put that online here in 1996 – Little Tommy said no, no, double-damn and call the lawyers NO. Fortunately, no one prohibited Tim from sharing this great WLS Lujack Moment with REELRADIO.
