My very favourite guest was Sir George Martin, Producer of the Beatles and his son Giles; while I was at CFRB.

I understand the significants; but for me it has been way overplayed.  Can't wait until it's over.

Don was someone I knew.  We never worked together at the same venue at the same time.  He was indeed a very kind man.  RIP

Jackie Shayne and Any Other Way; was before CHUM-FMs time.  You're right, they were classical then.  I believe it was a typo and the writer meant to say 1050 CHUM.

I may have missed this; but is Law & Order Toronto being shown on NBC in the states?

Hey RA!  Reba is going to sing the National Anthem.  Woo-Hoo!

I did 15 years of weekend morning radio for CFRB (New Talk 1010) and I enjoyed every minute of it.  According to program director Steve Kowch, I enjoyed great ratings over those years.  Very proud of that show and the many guests that joined me.

Thank you very much RA.

I am absolutely devastated, RA. We were indeed very close in the 70s and later we reunited in person at Hugh's Room.  I remember going food shopping with her in Kensington Market.  Only fresh vegetables and herbs for her.  But no Booze.  This was for a record launch party that Quality records was putting on by Scott Robbins.  I was her MC at Massey Hall shows, and she and her late husband Peter Schekeryk kept in touch.  I am deeply, deeply saddened to hear this news.  Too soon gone.  RIP

mic'em you have no idea.  She is quite brave to go public.  If you have good friends and a wonderful employer is makes it a little easier.
 

Long overdue.  One of the most talented Canadian comedians of all time.  Hilarious House of Frighenstein still stands up for me.

It was a little over a year ago that my favourite morning show host on CP24 "retired." I thought he was a little young at the time.  He didn't talk about where he was going or what he wanted to do.

I've never heard him mentioned since he left the show; but this being Christmas, I think it is time for a "George Lagogianes"update.  What do you say?

I worked with Richard years ago when he was the producer of the John Oakley show at CFRB.  He was one of the nicest, kindest people I have ever worked with in broadcasting.  Also, very soft-spoken off air.

When he broke away from Oakley, he found his own voice. Not surprised, he mentions Needham.  Ed and I became good friends in the mid 80s and became the first talk show host at CFRB.  Ed was in Vietnam, and he told me that, that experience made him "suffer no fools."  Ed gave me an American Flag that he carried with him for years.  I've never forgotten him.

My earliest recollections?  Larry Henderson with the News and the program Tabloid.

The big 3 friendship were Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks and Norman Lear.  The closest of friends/. Mel Brooks is now the last man standing.  What an amazing group.

God Bless, Norman Lear.
