Mike Kelly, from a December 1973 CKLW TOP 30
The first ten minutes of this segment is an hour and twenty minutes of Mike Kelly’s second show on CKLW in February 1973. You will hear Max Kinkel’s top of the hour jingle since they did not have a jingle for Mike yet. I tried to keep as much of the material around the set as I could while trying to make it flow.
You will hear parts of Crazy Jack’s Sound Factory spots. In hindsight, I wish I had taped the entire spot. Some of them were really creative. The remainder of the segment is various sets over the next several months in 1973 (according to my notes). However, you hear several different styles of jingles (e.g., Motor City Rock, The Beat Goes On). So it may not be all 1973, but they were tinkering with the format at the time.

The segment has lots of layovers. Mike was always up for trying a layover. Some were not so great. Two of my favorites are the Amboy Dukes, Journey to the Center of Your Mind, and the Who, Won’t Get Fooled Again, over the top of the hour jingle.
You will also hear the “not available in Ontario” tags at the end of U.S. beer spots and the voices of Pat Holiday, Johnny Williams, Marc Daly (news), Randall Carlisle (news), and Max Kinkel (not available in Ontario tag recorded with the spot  usually the jock said it live).
I took the picture of Mike with Jo Jo Shutty at the Big 8 reunion in October 2002. Mike passed away in August of 2005 in California.
