Eckhartz Press co-publisher David Stern and I had lunch with WRLR President Bish Krywko the other day. He was meeting with us to purchase twenty-two copies of “Records Truly Is My Middle Name” for the libraries in Lake County, Illinois. Part of the mission of WRLR is to promote the world of radio, and he thought this book was an important contribution to the genre, and wanted to share it with as many people as possible.
He also tracked down a copy of the book “This is Your Announcer” which John refers to in the book–as the book that got him inspired to go into the business, and a DVD copy of the documentary Studio A: Profile of a Disc Jockey (which stars John).
Bish really does love radio. He moved to America from England in the early 60s and was immediately taken by the radio stations here. Like John he created his own radio station in his house–and managed to broadcast it to his siblings. As an adult he founded WRLR, which is a not-for-profit radio station staffed entirely by volunteers.
Thanks so much to Bish, and the good people at WRLR. They are doing good work up there in Lake County, and we wish them the best.
