Radio personalities

Miles Willis formerly with KPFT (90.1) in Houston.  He produced and hosted a truly outstanding jazz program ("Milestones") from 6 to 9 pm on Saturdays for many years.  Then he left the city and moved on to D.C.

At the time KPFT's analog signal was superb - - never heard better FM. I'm glad I made tapes of many of his programs - which I still play from time to time.

Another one was a station broadcasting from Little Rock, AR in the late 60’s early 70’s, but I don’t recall the late night DJ’s name.

In 1970 or 1971 we picked up the signal just outside of the Minneapolis, MN area while returning to Iowa from a concert in Minneapolis.

That night there were heavy showers/thunderstorms running from MN down to MO/KS and it was the only time I was able to get the station that far North.

Anyway, we listened to the post Midnight show quite often (in Iowa) and the DJ had a very distinctive voice.

I keep thing of DR. John for some reason, but don’t think he was a DJ.

It was a long time ago, anyone remember the details of this late night show/program?

WLS in Chicago:  Larry Lujack & Tommy Edwards.  Never forget their “ Animal Stories “

 Old uncle Lar and snot nose little Tommy, I remember them well. 

Bob Parlocha played straight-ahead jazz and was featured overnite on WDNA (88.9 FM) in Miami.  He had really good taste and predominately stayed with the somewhat mellower side of Miles, Colltrane, Monk, etc.  There was plenty of innovation there, but not a lot of Maynard Ferguson or
brassy loud cuts in keeping with the midnight hours.  Died a couple of years ago, and i miss him a lot. He had a great web site too, with lists of new releases, pictures of musicians, popular lists, and album covers, etc.  The only major disagreement i had with him was that he didn't like the sound of jazz clarinet (??) for some odd reason.  Oh well...!

How can we forget:
The morning DJ on WOLD (DDDddd) from Harry Chapin 🤣
