Including a cool aircheck of Charlie Tuna... The year was 1966.  I was working all nights at CKY, Winnipeg and my shift began at midnight.  Advantages of growing up on the cold flat Canadian Prairie included the ability to tune in some best clear channel, out of market, Top 40 stations.  Some of the great US stations we could pick up in Winnipeg after sunset included: KAAY, Little Rock, WLS, Chicago and at the far right end of the dial at 1520 you would find KOMA, Oklahoma City.

This story goes back to the spring of 1965. By this time Duff was well established and held down an on air slot at 1050CHUM in Toronto.  As for me, I was still driving a truck and selling shoes and still dreaming of somehow getting a radio DJ gig in any market.
