Gil Scott-Heron, 75 -- April 2, 2024

Gil Scott-Heron was born 75 years ago yesterday, on 01-April-1949. I remember when KRE used to play his music. He was a poet. He died far too young.

Carter B Smith, RIP -- January 28, 2011

I was sad to learn that Carter B Smith had died. I remember him on KNBR and KFRC. I was too young to remember him on KRE or KSFO with Don Sherwood, and I didn't listen to KABL. His radio career lasted more than 50 years.
