Woke up this morning and for some reason I was trying to think of BR radio guys from the '60s, when I was a kid.

I remembered the names K. Kennon Thomas and "Catfish" Bill Carrigan. Couldn't think of any other names from that era.

Anybody remember these fellows or am I the only one that is that darn old, lol?

I wonder what happened to those guys. "Catfish" was fairly old back then so he is probably gone. Thomas was a younger guy so he may still be around.

Anybody remember any other radio names from that far back?

One of them got scammed by a dude online pretending to be a lady.

Randy Rice and Jim Nasium in the mid ‘70’s. I really miss their ‘TigerTrax’ mash ups during the Carlos Carson - Alan Risher years

There were a couple of radio guys on 100.7 in the 90s before the station format changed to country. They got pretty popular and I believe they even had a TV show on CH 33. However, I cannot remember their names.

WLCS....wow, I remember that station!

I'm thinking that was the one K. Kennon Thomas was on.

I loved Tiger Tracks. They should bring it back. But I’m pretty sure Jim Nasium was in the 80s.

Also found this pic from the 80’s

Agree, the fish rocked. Was standing next to him during a rock show at the varsity many years ago. The band wasn't good and they threw their cds into the crowd and one landed in the trash can next to us. We both looked at each other and laughed saying that's where it belonged.
