One of the most talented air personalalities to grace the FM airwaves for over 30 years! Never misses a post, and does it effortlessly. A TRUE class act in every aspect. In person, and on the air. Peace to you Tom
I was reading a Buzz Burbank Interview at Hobo Trashcan and Buzz mentioned he had worked with Shotgun Tom Kelly, and I came here to remember the man from those days when San Diego radio would drift north into Orange County... Its good to know he's still around but he sounds a bit more sedate than I remember... Then again we've both aged 30 years and you say the same thing about both of us... Good health to you and a long carrier.
WOW! Shotgun has mellowed a bit but STILL has that boss on-air delivery. I have somewhere, buried in boxes of airchecks from back in the day, one of Shotgun's airchecks from KCBQ, cirica 1974 or 5. All through his shift he was teasing his audience about some kind of dynamite blast project going on he had seen alongside the mountain roads on the way to the station.
Not a screamer,God no!A 'smoker & energy jock who still has it in'05as he did atKGBor in hisKCBQdays.This is why today's hit radio & classic hits radio suck.They jock it like their 80 and in the rest home.Tom still HAS IT.Ocean,Tom,Eric Chase,Dr. Don, Robert W.& the great west coast guys influencedMEin the midwest.TIGHT as a baby's butt!Oh,we can't say that in ourPC days!I agree with J.C. Mellencamp that oldTop40 was the best of all genre's.Things do cycle.Will It Go 'Round In Circles?I hope so.
Shotgun has captured the BOSS JOCK sound of KHJ BOSS RADIO of the 1960's ! When I close my eyes , I could swear I'm back in 1965 listening to KHJ BOSS RADIO cuz Shotgun is THAT good !!!! Some say that SHOTGUN was MACHINE GUN KELLY back then !!!! Any truth to that rumor ???? TINA DELGADO IS ALIVE !!!!!!
I serve him almost twice a week at my job. He always gets the same thing, I got his order down, ha ha!! He's a great guy, he listens to my crap and remembers it still when he comes in the next day. Very intresting person, and very caring
Your biggest (or at least skinniest) fan here! Willie B from San Diego and (10Q) L.A. days - and in my next life, I wanna come back as Y-O-U Shotgun (although I will have to clean the HAT first...:-)...
Love Shotgun! One of the greatest of all time! Used to listen to him when I was a kid growing up in SoCal. Wish I could listen to you now my brutha...but I'm on the same time you are. lol. Love ya!
