AFVN News, 1973 with Robert Morecook and Gerry Elliott
AFVN News! I worked with Gerry in Panama. I had heard he ended up at Fort Lewis. Any idea after that?
Herman Griffith 1968
Sure was some great music. Herman Griffith came to us from KGFJ. A while back I found out what the deal was where he's not "hitting the posts", when AFRTS upgraded their studios there wasn't a proper headphone output. Herman would have been more dependent on a headphone output that most. Love the energy and the music.
