KRIZ on the last day of the 60's
One thing about our MHT years: they sure had a great soundtrack! Many of us remember listening to the great Top 40 hits of the day on KRIZ and KRUX and later, all those wild album tracks on KCAC and the early KDKB.
For a flashback, here's an aircheck from KRIZ on the last day of the 60's, 12-31-69, featuring DJ Mark James counting down the hits from Eclectic Mouse to the Cornerstone (OK, so it wasn't all great!), with then-new singles by the Rascals, Grassroots, Peter, Paul & Mary, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and others. There's even mention of one Bruno J. Grunion, a fictional character voiced by Don Pietromonaco (Pietro), that some of us tried to draw in a coloring contest back then. I think I might have won a bumper sticker.
It runs about 30 minutes, so you might want to just play it in the background, open a new window and continue your Web browsing experience.
Or just download the file here for your later listening pleasure.
