This show features why most folks think that KHJ Los Angeles circa 1969 was probably the finest top 40 Rock and Roll radio station ever.  Charlie Tuna is still out there today playing the greatest music known to mankind!  This aircheck (vintage broadcast) -- was recorded during a weekend in 1969 where KHJ 930 AM Radio was featuring a special 'History of Rock and Roll Weekend'  48 hour Marathon and this recording features this Marathon with Charlie Tuna at the microphone with some truly great tunes, vintage advertisements, a little history lesson in that day's news broadcast and great feeling of nostalgia.

   Today you can still catch Charlie Tuna on K Earth 101 FM on the weekends. Charlie Tuna has been elected one of the Top 10 Los Angeles DJ's of all time by L.A. Radio and has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Once you relive his early year recordings on this CD you will see why. 

   The pacing and energy of the format, together with the incredible jingles, made this station something special. The music was pretty terrific, too. If you lived in Southern California during 1969, this'll bring back some wonderful memories. If you were elsewhere, you owe it to yourself to see what you missed!

   Note:  For those that were in Southern California in 1969 will remember the floods that hit this area. This recording is from the night before the broadcast of the start of the flood. And the weather reports do mention that it will be getting up to 10 inches of rain in the mountains. I was 9 years old during the floods and lived on a Orange Ranch in Ojai California and remember it very well as we were isolated for several days.
