… four o’clock in the mother city of the valley, babies …
[Description by Barry Salberg]
Those who really know their stuff won’t fail to note the heavy Dick Sainte influence in Ted Jordan’s delivery here. As the AA farm team in the Drake hierarchy, KYNO was a radio anomaly. It had the finest equipment (the classic Collins board), and a wonderful control room  facilities well beyond the norm for a mid-market station.
It was a palace compared to the rustic surroundings of KSTN in Stockton, where Ted Kraft (Jordan) toiled before being hired by then KYNO PD, Harry Miller (Eric Chase). Jordan is a fun specimen, highly stylized, not the usual straight Drake pipe-and-hype. Though a little rough around the “impressionistic” edges, this is a bittersweet sample from the minor leagues of the Drake glory years.
