!!!KCPR Radio Alumni: Jerry Peek

I was at KCPR and Cal Poly from 1977-81. Though my major was Engineering Technology, I spent a lot of time at KCPR.  I'd done some work at commercial and college stations before I came to Cal Poly, but KCPR is where I got enough time and practice to improve a lot.  I mostly did weekday morning shows as well as _Pacific Concert_ (classical music), some Oldies Shows and some special programs.

Now I'm one of the maintainers of [the KCPR alumni website | http://kcpralumni.org/]. Here's [ how to reach me | http://www.jpeek.com/contact.html ]. There's more about me on my personal site, [jpeek.com | http://www.jpeek.com/] and its [radio page| http://www.jpeek.com/radio.html].

!!Air shows
 * [At the start of a fall quarter (1979?) |Upload:JerryPeek/Jerry_Peek_KCPR_start_of_fall_quarter.mp3] - while we were adding classes. (Remember the boards posted outside, the lines, the cards?) The "Your station" phrase I used a few times probably came from a station where I'd worked that summer; it was their slogan, and it had been drilled into my head...  (_length:_ 4:15)
* [Oldies Show, April 1981 | Upload:JerryPeek/Oldies_Show_Jerry_Peek_with_Bicycle_Bob_Latson_April_1981.mp3] - "Bicycle Bob" Latson, who did a lot of the Oldies Shows, stopped by.(_length:_ 2:19)
* [ End of my last KCPR show | Upload:JerryPeek/Jerry_Peek_KCPR_june_1981_last_40_minutes.mp3] - just the voice bits from the last 40 minutes of my last 6-9 AM show, Monday of finals week, June 1981 (_length:_ 2:52)

!!Some production examples
* [Weird Al sounder | Upload:JerryPeek/weird_al_sounder_by_jerry_peek.mp3] (_length:_ 0:05) - I did this just for fun (it was my idea); I'm not sure if [ Al | http://www.weirdal.com/ ] ever used it while he was at KCPR. Made by dubbing songs onto tape, then cutting out bits of each song to get the sounds I wanted. (This isn't hard today with digital audio editors, but it was more of a challenge with razor blades and splicing tape!) Here are the songs I used (I don't remember all of them... suggestions, anyone?!):
  # "Weird": _Surrender_, by Cheap Trick
  # "Al": a song by Arlo Guthrie?
  # "K": a song by Gordon Lightfoot
  # "C": ?
  # "P": _People_ by Barbra Streisand
  # "R": a song by the Captain & Tennille
* [ "Soundtrack" promo for "Mary Poppins" | Upload:JerryPeek/mary_poppins_soundtrack_promo_by_jerry_peek.mp3] (_length:_ 0:31): Various KCPR staff members hosted the show -- and, I think, made our own promos.

I edited some of the sound clips with [ Audacity | http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ ], the freely-available sound editor.
