The new issue of the industry trade publication “Morning Mouth” features an interview with John Records Landecker about his book.
It was teased this morning in Jockline Daily…
THE MOUTH, MARCH 25TH, 2013 –– As first reported here in Jockline Daily last month, The legendary John Records Landecker (shown) WLS-FM night host has a new book which has just been released. Aptly titled “Records Truly Is My Middle Name,” he explains in an upcoming interview in The Morning Mouth, “I was out of work and my former producer Rick KaempFer kept after me. I thought ” Hey, this is just like a big radio show. Its just not on the air. That helped me get going.” He told us to notice on the book cover that Rick is listed “producer” not co-author.” In this month’s Mouth, we couldn’t help but ask if any of this children took on his middle name as well. He joked “Its my mothers maiden name. When I first thought of using as a bit I NEVER thought it would have this kind of shelf life. I thought “Its cute and when they find out its real that will be it” WRONG.!” As for his kids, he told The Mouth, “I have two daughters. Records is in neither of their middle names. You know, if you did it now it would make no sense…what’s a record?” And best advice he ever got? “The most ironic piece of advice I received came from my first pd at WIBG in Philadelphia Paul Drew. He had changed my name to Scott Walker, but the station was sold and he was on the way out. He asked me what I wanted to do. I told him I wanted to go back to being John Records Landecker. He said,” …oops. you’ll have to read the book to find out!
