Rob Sherwood’s radio career began in California in 1963, and he managed to stay on the radio until 1993, wrapping up 36 years in radio at KHOP in Modesto, California. In between, he worked at WDGY, WYOO and KSTP, in addition to KDWB in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. Along the way, he spent time in Green Bay, Wisconsin (at WDUZ) and San Francisco (at KIOI) and made quite a few other stops as well.
In Part One of this two-part exhibit (with Part 2 appearing at a later date), we hear Sherwood having fun with helium balloons and playing lots of rock ‘n’ roll singles. There’s only one musical surprise in the entire 90 minutes, but it’s a fairly rare one.
It sounds as though KDWB had a mobile studio in a trailer, which they were using for this broadcast at the Minnesota State Fair.
