Jerry Peek

I was at KCPR and Cal Poly from 1977-81. I'm one of the maintainers of the KCPR alumni website. Here's how to reach me. There's more about me on my personal site, jpeek.com and its radio page.

Air shows

  • At the start of a fall quarter (1979?) - 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 - "Bicycle Bob" Latson, who did a lot of the Oldies Shows, stopped by.(length: 2:19)
  • End of my last KCPR show - 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 (length: 0:05) - I did this just for fun (it was my idea); I'm not sure if Al ever used it. 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?!):

    1. "Weird": Surrender, by Cheap Trick
    2. "Al": a song by Arlo Guthrie?
    3. "K": a song by Gordon Lightfoot
    4. "C": ?
    5. "P": People by Barbra Streisand
    6. "R": a song by the Captain & Tennille
  • "Soundtrack" promo for "Mary Poppins" (length: 0:31): Various KCPR staff members hosted the show -- and, I think, made our own promos.
