A three-hour playlist of great 70s rock hits compiled from every DJ break that Dr. Johnny Fever made on “WKRP in Cincinnati,” with introductions and comments by the Doctor himself, news from Les Nessman, and a commercial read by Venus Flytrap. I’ve listened to more than an hour so far and only heard one bad song.

A friend sent me this link, which caused my wife and me to rewatch the first episode of “WKRP.” It holds up.

Jon Nelson, who created the mix, describes himself as a college and community radio producer, audio editor and artist. He’s also done mixes for other fictional DJs, including WKRP’s Venus Flytrap and Chris in the Morning from “Northern Exposure."

After listening to the Johnny Fever mix for a while, I remembered that there are Internet archives of hours or radio DJ sets, recorded off the air on tape, digitized, and uploaded to the Internet. I found this hour of Dan Ingram on WABC New York from September 1976. I was a teenager then, living in that area, and might have listened to that hour live! But listening to it for a little while this morning reminded me that I didn’t much like WABC; I was a 99X guy and, in the 80s, WBAB. Listening also reminded me that 99% of the pop music in the 1970s was bad. However, Sturgeon’s Law probably applies here.

Dan Ingram had a heck of a career, well respected for his quick wit, spanning 50 years on radio stations and a little TV, including 22 years at WABC. “One of Ingram’s unique skills was his ability to ‘talk up’ to the lyrics of a record, meaning speaking over the musical introduction and finishing exactly at the point when the lyrics started.”
