Jerry Sims, the 2nd "Sonny Martin", Presentation

Thanks again to Barry McCorkindale and his photo vault, here is Jerry Sims presenting Herman's Hermits' drummer Barry Whitwam leader Peter Noone with a car tag.  Some comments were made about the gentleman in the background (drummer Barry Whitwam) copping some Zzzz's but I'll bet they had "camera-flash-itis" where they automatically blink when the photographer said, "one, two, THREE!"


Thanks again to Barry McCorkindale for posting this on Facebook!

Barry McCorkindale posted this on Facebook a short while back:

Richard Robinson (son-in-law of Eddie Graham) identified all the gentlemen here but one...I recognized A.J. Lindsay and Jerry Sims right off the bat...

"Richard Robinson Barry, I asked my father-in-law, Eddie Graham and here is the information. You are correct, all of the men pictured were air talent at The Mighty 1090. From left, A.J. Lindsey (one of the "Doc Holidays"), Bob Mullins (air name unknown, but he worked a day shift), Howard Watson ("Ken Knight," worked nights, left for a day shift on KMYO - "Cameo" in LR), Richard Wietan (Eddie isn't sure about the spelling of his last name and didn't remember his air name. This came to KAAY from Moberly, Missouri. He only worked at KAAY for six months or so. He was in the National Guard and was tragically killed a short time later in a Jeep accident, during his summer training, according to Eddie. The last jock on the right Eddie remembers, but can't recall his name. Eddie did remember that he didn't work at the station very long. That's what I have, so far."

Great history, thanks to Barry McCorkindale!
