Gosh do I miss those days, staying up late at night to listen to Jay Lawrence and his Mushroom Survey.<BR/><BR/>I was fortunate to run across an aircheck of Lawrence's radio "farewell party" on the night of the change. It was hilarious! I stayed up all night to listen to it back then, that Major Moment in Cleveland broadcasting history, and it was nice to be able to turn back the clock and hear that show again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943321092483498805.post-20987459371887251102007-08-23T23:58:00.000-04:002007-08-23T23:58:00.000-04:00David: Thanks for the kind words.

I went to Cleveland last Thursday to research another subject (WKYC related) when I decided on trying to find some articles about the swap itself. I had no idea it would become a "series"..I too, am surprised at folks that actually worked at KYW would find it and respond so positively.

The closest computer font of any kind is the freeware "Anklepants" font, BTW.<BR/><BR/>- nate81Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943321092483498805.post-55094753512753387002007-08-23T03:23:00.000-04:002007-08-23T03:23:00.000-04:00You did an excellent job as usual, Tim.
