Hi Charlie,

I was checking out Radio Daily News.com this afternoon and ran across the link to your site. Very nicely done! I especially enjoyed the interview with Wolfman Jack that you posted. I bought his book just prior to his passing. Seems that every displaced radio guy is migrating to the internet, and that is a good thing.

My name is Tony Clark, and had done radio for years in Michigan. These days, I produce and host a show called The Michigan Oldies Podcast…The Greatest Oldies You’ll Never Hear On The Radio . We play the oldies that were popular here on the local charts, but somehow were filtered out of regular station airplay over the years, and that included a lot of Michigan-based product, including old Motown and Fortune records stuff. So far, we have been doubling audience monthly since first going online with it in September, with close to 28,000 accesses to our show for December

We also reminisce about the top 40 stations that were staples in Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, Grand Rapids & Lansing. You may not realize it, but you were a part of Michigan radio. Sometime in the 70s, WVIC in Lansing had YOU as their midday host. I remember hearing you when driving to high school. It wasn’t until after I got into the business that I realized that you may have possibly been the worlds first “voice-tracked” DJ, as someone formerly with WVIC told me that you pre-recorded your drops and syndicated them somehow to the station.

If you’d like to cut an mp3 blurb (and you can ham up on us if you’d like), I’d be honored to play it in our show. Nothing much, just a short liner, referencing when you were on WVIC and that you’re listening to the Michigan Oldies Podcast. It’s 100 percent totally voluntary, and I’ll understand if you aren’t able to do it.

Anyway, just wanted to drop you a note regarding your website and your work. Have a great New Year, and continued success with your career.

Best Regards,

Tony Clark
