… I’m teaching my dog to speak here in the studio, come on boy, speak boy …
[Description by Uncle Ricky]
Originally published by REELRADIO on January 17, 2010, the music in this rare recording contributed by Barry Salberg was restored by Rob Frankel in 2015. Now you can enjoy this youthful off-the-wall Drake DJ, who passed away in 1993, and the music he played.
I think this aircheck might appeal to the thousands of old radio guys who claim that the Drake Format didn’t allow “personality”. Tom Maule went on to KHJ, so apparently, no offense was taken, and all of this was apparently “Boss” (granted, at KGB, at the time.) He just did it with acapellas and without reverb.
Tom Maule probably could have easily found work on “Swinging Radio England” and many east-coast PAMS-jingled and reverbed Top 40 stations. But, that’s not the way it happened.
