Johnny TV, as he is known to my radio listeners, has not only been a big part of mine and my families life, but also a big staple of our broadcasts. This has, just as you, been a very tough time for myself and my family. To show my gratitude for this wonderful man, this Saturday nights show will be dedicated to Johnny's memory. We will not only be playing some of his favorite records, but we'll also get to hear him again as he called into the show on some very special clips we found in the archives. This effort would not have ever been done for anyone else, as it is NOT an effort, it is a joy. The same joy he has brought so many of us for being the most gentle and loving guy we ever knew. For those of you who would like to call in live to the show to express some thoughts about this great man, a great American WWII hero, please call 917 889 7819 early on from 9pm to 11pm est. A CD of this special programming will be sent to his wonderful wife who I had the pleasure of speaking to last night. Here is a link to this particular program this Saturday: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thebigbands/2011/09/11/weekly-1930s-1940s-all-request-big-band-broadcast-72311
Once again, we all love Johnny and as always, we know he'll be listening in on Saturday because he is the best, Chris Valenti. My personal station # is 772 940 4000. www.WYYR.com
