It’s Marc Ross of Cedar City, Utah (I love it up here!), formerly of the LA area. I sent you an e-mail about 4 months ago. Sorry if it was a bit long-winded. Anyway, here’s hoping you’re doing well. I simply want to thank you for all your wonderful work on the air in LA radio, incl. on 93/KHJ, still my all-time favorite radio station, bar none. Keep up the good work and may God bless you big-time. As a former radio announcer (mainly in smaller markets like King City, CA and Truth or Consequences, NM, back in the 1980′s), I look up to you as one of my main broadcasting idols, no doubt. You don’t have to write back–I figure you’re extremely busy and get tons of e-mails, but again thank you for everything–you are a class act. Take care and again, God bless!
I have listened to your show on Saturday and Sunday mornings for some time now in Brunswick, Georgia. I listen to the show on 98.3 “the Oldies” Station coming from Savannah, GA. Actually I am a huge Motown and 70′s follower and have been so for years. I have a few positive comments to make concerning your syndicated show.
1. You have an outstanding show each week. I enjoy hearing the interviews intermixed with the music of the time frame you are highlighting at the time.
2. I have a suggestion for you to consider; have you ever considered coming to the Brunswick, GA area or better yet, say to a music festival or event here in this local area? For instance, I know the town of Brunswick, Georgia has the Brunswick Stew Festival which happens during the late summer to fall of the year. In previous years they have hired an outside, major named band to perform on Saturday night and then followed by fireworks to view. I have been looking for this year’s headliner, but I haven’t seen it advertised just yet. Also, another time frame each year is the end of the summer concert. That normally takes place on Labor Day weekend or there about, and in the past such groups as the Beach Boys and many others have been the bands on the stage for the event. That takes place on Jekyll Island, GA which is right here along the coast of this area. I am not a professional radio personality nor do I own a business/radio station here, but I do know talent when I hear of it.
3. Maybe you have been to Jacksonville, FL which is one hour south of Brunswick, GA off I-95, or maybe to Savannah, GA which is one hour north of Brunswick on off I-95 as well. We are moderate in weather temps throughout the year, and the summers are hot and humid, but that makes for nice beach weather for sure.
4. We have seafood, beaches, historical interests from many different time frames of American history. We have southern BBQ that is the best of the best! I know as I love to eat it and try different recipes. It is a safe environment to bring your family and there are many choices of hotels to stay at and enjoy. We have many restaurants to choose from as well. Transportation is very easy with driving here by vehicle with I-95 and major roadways present. Then there is a local airport here which is a branch from Hartsfield Atlanta, GA. Delta is the airline that flies in there and it is nice to just walk off the plane and go directly to your vehicle. On the other hand, there is an international airport about 1 hour south off I-95 in Jacksonville, FL not a problem there either.
5. No, I am not a tour guide, and I don’t even play one on weekends at the Holiday Inn! I just am thinking out loud and I wanted to contact you and express my thoughts. In any event, maybe you might consider all this and I don’t know about the “radio business” but maybe I am doing this incorrectly, as I need to talk to your “agent” or whatever. I just contact and speak to the person directly or by email as it were.
Thank you for reading this email and replying if you have the time.
That Cat video was truly sad, Maybe That’s a different definition coming from a 10 year old, but It touched my heart, and it will touch the hearts of anyone else that watches it. Right after I watched it, I looked for my kitten, and gave her a huge kiss, which got me fur in my mouth, and made me sneeze like Butt! Anyways, it made me want another cat, and seeing how He just lied there, waiting for her to wake up… and how he was pressing at her. I could just see him trying to say “Wake Up! Wake up! I need you!” All I’m saying that if someone easily gets sad, Not a good idea to watch this… It’s a heart warming video, mostly because I love cats…

Did the Revlon Cancer walk Saturday. I really MISSED you doing the RED CARPET, however the CAUSE is the reason I do it. I saw Irma, Pete, and Sophia. I told her that I saw you at the Zoo. She told me that you had called her when her Mom Passed. I didn’t know that her Mom had passed. Anyway just wanted to check in.
Have a GREAT DAY, and THANKS for posting the Pic of us on your website.
It’s good to hear you on (morning) radio again. I used to listen to you on an AM station when I first move to Ca. in the late 70’s. I don’t remember the call letters for sure (maybe KROQ) but I am pretty sure it was 1020 AM? Then again on KHJ later? Anyhow, I was listening over the weekend and now I caught you this morning at work. I just wanted to say it’s good to hear your voice again. Keep it up.
Hi Charlie: I went to your website and can’t find a link to see the video of the two cats. I heard it on your show on Sunday and have tried repeatedly to find the video. Thanks and keep up the good work.

NOTE TO CAROLE: See it below. I posted it here for all those who emailed.
I am an American Masters student studying music-journalism in Munich, Germany. For my current project I would like to use few a pictures of you from the 70s, in a radio setting when possible.
The project is a documentary film on AFN (American Forces Network) in Munich, and my interview partner named you as one of the most popular DJs broadcasted by AFN here in Germany, which is why I would like to accompany his comment with a picture or two.
The project will be posted online on our website, when finished (I could send you a link.)
Could you please send me a few pictures I could use or give me your permission to download a few from your website? I would need them within the next week.
Heard your show tonight—–thanks for talking about the cat video so much.
Maybe with everyone’s attention on this topic, you could talk about the huge number of cats that get euthanized in shelters because there aren’t enough people adopting them….or because there are so many cats due to lack of spay/neutering. Or that indoor cats are safer than those allowed to roam outdoors.
Just thoughts……….your discussion was very compassionate. You could perhaps help save some of the cats in need if you went a step farther and spoke up for them to educate the public, either on your website or in your discussion on your show.
Thanks for listening….

i tried sending you an email in your website but then it told me that it did not go through, so here it is again.
I saw the cat video last week and i cried like a baby that now i can longer see it again. it is too heartbreaking . i have 4 cats of my own and i have had other cats throughout my 57 years of life and it has always been painful to see my darling cats die. i even hate to see dead dogs and cats in the streets. Anyway what i want to know if anyone knows what happened to the white cat ?
Someone should set a cat trap and try to catch him and put him up for adoption so that he can be loved. Maybe a house that has another female cat (fixed of course), so that it can find love again.
I have a question. I heard something about a story of a cat that was hit by a car and another cat was protecting the hurt cat for 2 hours. Could you send me the link for the video about the cats? I couldn’t catch the whole story or the link for it.
Jim Ross here from N. S. Didn’t see the cat video, don’t want to. A few years back a woman knocked on my basement door. I opened up the door, and she was in hysterics. She said ” do you have a gun?” I stepped back a pace and said.. sure…what’s up? she said that she had just hit a dog, and could I put it out of it’s misery? I took my dad’s gun, took her by the hand and she led me to where it had happened.
Traffic was stopped, some people I knew, some not. I went up to the dog, knelt down, and put my right hand on his head. The dog looked at me , and i said ” it’ll be ok in a minute, o k ?” The dog looked at me and kicked my left hand. The dog then looked away, and closed it’s eyes, I stood up and shot him. I walked back home, opened the patio door, looked at the woods, sat down, and cried like a baby. Some things shouldn’t happen, but they do.
I try to never miss your show. You always bring a grin or a tear…
I really enjoy listening to you. I wish you were on during the week when I listen all day at work.
I have a question, maybe you can answer. I have 4 albums of old 78′s records and several old 8 track tapes, and a box of 45′s, along with a box of cassette tapes. I also have a stereo that plays all of them.
Do you know of a collector, or do people collect any of these things?
Thank you
Sue Peters
NOTE TO SUE: There are a bunch of record collectors out there. My advice is just to click on Google or Bing search engines, and type in “old record collectors” and you can then pick and choose from all the ones that come up, or find places to get prices and people.
As a fourth generation Los Angeles native, I love, love hearing the oldies when I visit. (I now live in Central California -San Luis Obispo.) While we have no traffic, no stores and definitely no radio stations to speak of – we have a slow life style. But, as I approach the air space when I can tune into your station, my energy level rises and I am energized to “take on” the LA traffic.
I am currently coming to LA a couple of times per month trying to get an elderly aunt settled into a nursing home. During my last visit, I heard you speak of the cat trying to revive it’s mate. I am a total cat (dog and every other animal) lover. My cat is now 20 years old and very frail but still “hanging out”.
I made a mental note of your website and the subject and just now viewed it – it was the saddest thing I have every witnessed. That male cat had to be the most persevering and loyal mate ever! I only wish it would have had a fairy tale ending. Do you know what happened to the male cat? Hopefully someone adopted him and gave him the love he so deserves.
Thanks for carrying on the “oldies traditions” – the very best music ever!
I am asking about your purple button to press to feed the dogs and cats that you talk about on your station but I cannot find the button on your web page. Can you please guide me to your website where I can find the purple button as I would like to participate.
Thank You a fan.

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box ‘fund food for animals for free’. This doesn’t cost you a thing.
Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
Here’s the web site! Please pass it along to people you know. You just might save the life of a little guy just like the one pictured above!
I was trying to locate the video you referred to about the cat that was hit and her partner trying to revive.
Can you please provide me with instruction on where I can view this video?
Thanks and love your show
Ed
NOTE TO ED: Just scroll down with all the other emails below and you’ll see the cat video I posted about a dozen and a half emails ago on this page too.
I heard you tell about the video above yesterday morning between 11:30 & noon. I also heard you take a phone call from an elderly sounding man in response to it. I would very much like to view it, but can’t find it on your website. Can someone please let me know exactly what I need to do to locate it on the site & watch it? I thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Sherrie L. Summers
NOTE TO SHERRIE: Please scroll down about a dozen and a half videos, and you’ll find the video there.
Yesterday I was driving down to my moms and I was listening to you talk about a video about a cat and his partner? can you please let me know how I can see this clip? I thank you in advance.
And thank you for all the years you have been on the air. My mom loves you and know that your playing more updated music I love you too, I just wish I could hear you up here in Tehachapi, Ca. I have to get into Lancaster to hear you. But it is worth it.
Love you always<;)
Temera
NOTE TO TEMERA: Just scroll down a little over a dozen videos, you’ll see the two cats on the video, that’s the one.
I was listening to you I believe sometime between 04/23/2010 and now (05/03/2010) and you were speaking with a woman regarding a cat video (I believe) where a cat that had be ran over and another cat was protecting it. I did only catch the tail end of the story and was inquiring as to where I can see the video. I miss you on K-Big but am very glad that I did find you again. Just love listening to good talk and not the “shock jocks” that are just about on every radio station. Keep up the good work!
Thank you,
