GUEST,Miriam San Francisco Freeform radio in the '60s (27) San Francisco Freeform radio in the '60s 20 Dec 04


My brother, Chanteyranger, told me about the site and suggested I post here. I am writing a book about the music I was involved with while growing up in San Francisco during the sixties. I am desperately seeking for some information about people working for KMPX and KSAN, the first underground "freeform" radio stations in San Francisco. Was Gale Garnett (of the hit "We'll Sing in the Sunshine") an announcer for either station, using the name "Mother" ? (If so, she wasn't on very long--did she substitute for another DJ for awhile?) Any details or memories would be appreciated. There was an engineer, I think on both stations, called Susie or Suzy. At one point she didn't show up for work for awhile because she was hanging out with Ginger Baker. Does anyone remember details about her? Her last name? Does anyone know where the announcer Dusty Street is now, or have any other info about her or memories? Does anyone remember the night she announced Janis Jopliin's death while the Grateful Dead were playing on a televised show from Winterland?

Thanks very much!
