Back in the day radio guys slapped together funny parodies like "Nine" "There Buddy" and the like. My question is this, (being out of radio for 20+ years and just an observer) Are parodies of this quality and detail being produced today? If so, I'd sure like to hear 'em!

Scott's WVWA page along with the Howard Hoffman's "9" and "99" are priceless!

There are only two full-time human beings for every five radio stations on the air nowadays.

Progress, you know ...

Yep i know, but we were all a bunch of smart a** college seniors on summer staff at OU that throught we knew everything when we recorded "There Buddy!" What about the kids in college these days? Where's the creativity? (I know, corporate radio has killed that also!)

Howard Hoffman...now there's a name that rings a bell. I don't know why, but it does.
