The Radio Years - 1973 - 1989, KFAC

From 1973 (at age 12) until they were sold in 1989, I worked at Los Angeles radio station KFAC, the largest classical radio station in the western U.S. At first I started as a part-time volunteer, but I later progressed to an engineer, music programmer and finally Assistant Music Director. Here are some pictures of me and my friends from KFAC.
