@devulboy1 I think we need to get the American Graffiti story cleared up. The movie was actually filmed in San Rafael,CA (Marin County) and Petaluma, CA (Sonoma County). The Mel's Drive In scene was filmed at it's old location at the corner of Van Ness Ave and Mission St. in San Francisco. The film was set to take place in Modesto, CA in 1962. It was'nt until 1963 that the Wolfman appeared on a "border blaster" and that was XERF near Del Rio, TX. He would be on XERB from 1965-1970.

Chuck--I wish you could find KHJ-FM's jingle from 1969-70. They were AOR format at that time, and had a jingle with a full orchestra and singers, with the line "Hit Parade, '69"(for the year)--then changed it to "Hit Parade '70" at the first of the year. The phrasing for 1970 just didn't fit, so they eventually dropped it. They even had a version in 5/4 time! Very cool for it's time. KHJ FM eventually became KRTH 101 FM. I hope you can find it and post it some day.

Nice job Chuck. Radio just ain't what it used to be.

I grew up in Los Angeles (Boyle heights in the 60's and it's funny how a radio jingle can take you to a certain place in time.

KMET's was not a professional radio jingle and instead was a home studio parody. Also I never ran across it.

OK, Wolfman Jack wanted you to send...cash, check or MONEY ORDER to 8228 Sunset Blvd.....HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA! Anyone ever been in the building? Guess the postman was pretty busy on that route!

I visited Wolfman Jack (Bob Smith) during his XERB Sunset Blvd. studio days. He used to do a promo about sending stuff to the Melrose Ave. studios of the LA soul station KGFJ. And not with standing "American Graffiti," he never was a DJ in Fresno.
