| ONE SWELL FOOP "Wendell" was a writer and producer for Sweet Dick's KGIL stint in the mid-70s and currently has his own corner of the internet containing thoughts and other comedic accidents. Sadly, he has not only stopped posting at this old blog (Wendell.me), but has ditched his WENDELL nick name as well. HERE is selection of Sweet Dick related postings on the old blog. Despite these changes, he still blogs, only under a different name, Antisequitur. REELRADIO Without out a doubt, this is the biggest radio aircheck collection available on the internet! There are tons of personalities and history to dropkick your modem into overdrive. You need to be a member to listen to their collection. They now have a Sweet Dick aircheck! AIRCHEXX This is a free radio aircheck site and they, too, have a Sweet Dick tape on tap; its the first hour of his KHJ debut in 1983...technical glitches and all. KGIL This station has gone through many formats and ownership for the past 20 years and tracking its changes is a small task. Luckily, Wikipedia has managed to pin the details down. As of late, the station digged up their old call letters and now calling themselves 'Retro 1260' MY LUSH LIFE Douglas McEwan also had written and, later, produced Sweet Dick's KGIL shows from the early 70s. Today he's an author and has taken the lead character from his new book 'My Lush Life' and given her a blog and, as of late, a corner on Huffington Post! AMERICA'S SUBURB 'The San Fernando Valley: America's Suburb' is the best recent book on the history of the Valley. Much to the credit to the author, Kevin Rodrick, you'll learn so much about this large chunk o' real estate from his thorough research and the large collection of photos and personal stories. This blog is an out growth of the book, listing and updating the evolving SFV history. UPDATE: Sadly, this hasn't been updated since 2007, so here's a couple of blogs on the Valley side: MUSEUM OF THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY, VALLEY RELICS: The Neighborhood Project: Northridge If you've read my central 'Sin Fernando' piece, the SFV suburb of Northridge sets largely in my memory and my introduction to Sweet Dick. This large page offers a lengthy tour of this town without the SFV heat and humidity K-JEWEL Here's the official web site of the station Whittington dose image voice for. He is heard just before the national news at every half hour. JOHN ROOK Here's a link of a autobiography by John Rook mentions his "run-in" with Sweet Dick during his days with KFI-AM |
