Thanks so much to Robert Feder for publishing this…
Just in time for his induction tonight in the National Radio Hall of Fame, John Records Landecker has released an updated edition of his excellent 2013 autobiography, Records Truly Is My Middle Name. The revised Hall of Fame limited edition features 70 additional photos and four new chapters, including Landecker’s reflections on the business since he quit WLS FM 94.7 in 2015. It’s published by Eckhartz Press, whose co-founder, Rick Kaempfer, served as producer of Landecker’s morning show on WJMK FM 104.3 and co-wrote the book.
Here’s my report from the event…
Great night last night for John Records Landecker. He was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame by his good buddy Bob Sirott. John used his speech to argue for recognition for the man who created the Lone Ranger.
He also thanked everyone who helped him along the way, including yours truly. Very nice speech. We had a great time. The dinner was held at the Museum of Broadcasting, which currently has a great SNL exhibit. (Hence the SNL-type photos below)
