Oil of Dog was a great late-night radio program! I wish Gary would put up an MP3 file of the show's opening that he describes at the beginning of his home page. Maybe he'll read this and be able to do that. It was great to lay awake at night, or after some partying, and experience something a little different. Brings back fond memories of a fun time in my life! Gary - you rule! ;-) I came across your post through the same “wonders of the interweb” that brought Gary Storm himself.

Either someone had mentioned my site, or through a track-back or creative Googling, he read this post! I'm not going to reveal the email, which was quite pleasant in tone. Just one short quote, "I agree the site is rather crude, but it is not years old. I just started putting it up a few months ago." It's good to know that the site is still being updated and that there is more to come. I know I'll be looking forward to more of Gary's insights into the music and radio scene. Compared to the lifeless and sterile commercial radio industry of today, that time was something special and worth documenting. While the 60's and 70's may have been the heyday of Rock and Roll radio, the 70's and into the 80's were still something special. Personality still counted for something on the air and the transition from AM to FM and "underground" radio programming was unique to that time. Other than a handfull of college, public and small privately owned stations, most radio today is a waste of airspace. Sorry, I didn't mean to rant, I just wanted to say to go back and check the Oil of Dog website once in a while as Gary adds more to it.
