What a difference a signal makes between being a well known radio voice and having only a smaller audience with any idea of who you are. I came across this article from a local Lockport newspaper, comparing a talk show host named Tom Darro to Buffalo legend John Otto. 

That's high praise indeed, but Tom who? Turns out he works for WJJL Niagara Falls, N.Y. and the columnist is effusive in his plaudits for the guy. Most of us have never heard him since the station is on 1440 AM and is all but shut out in Toronto by CHKT, the Fairchild Chinese language outlet at 1430. The place is something of an anomaly these days - they have a not-updated-since-March Facebook page, no web page that I can find and no way to listen online. 

Anyway, here's the tribute to the apparently terrific Mr. Darro, whose talents we're unlikely to be able to sample unless he moves somewhere else.
