Bob Page on X claims that he was not asked to participate in the tribute show.

FYI: I was able to record the show with a 60 second break to start the AA and Revolving Door Show which continued the tribute.

Re: Ron Cameron
I'm not so sure I can agree with that last remark. Some of his vintage air checks / clips sound pretty good.I was surprised to learn, like many of you, that Ron had attended Specs Howard SOB. He obviously paid little attention during his tenure there.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Looks like a mini marathon of Match Game on buzzer TV
Re: Ron Cameron
Mark didn't have internet access, so, unless he saw the print edition of last Saturday's Free Press, he might not know about the news.
The Ram's Horn in Southfield would seem to be a logical choice. A Sunday afternoon this month, perhaps?radiofan1974 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 6:37 pmIt would be a fun event, for the past few years, our weekends have been must listen to with Ron Cameron, weekend routine will be different for sure

If we can find a place with a CD player, I can make CD's of past shows and we can hear them.

Think about it - you all could bring your Ron Cameron piss jars to possibly trade.radiofan1974 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 6:37 pmIt would be a fun event, for the past few years, our weekends have been must listen to with Ron Cameron, weekend routine will be different for sure
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.
Re: Ron Cameron
There had to be a lot of trade-offs for people who personally knew him.
Like on February 9, when I helped make fun of his radio show for two hours on the Buzzboard, and then had a friendly face-to-face conversation with him at the Southfield Ram's Horn.
Re: Ron Cameron
Joe LaPointe's appearance was the highlight of the tribute show for me. Without him, Ron's Wikipedia page would have had less information.ShempLives wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 1:43 pmInteresting that we heard stories of the Detroit Red Wings players twice(!) paying Ron's "tuition" for umpire school. More from Mr. LaPointe's May 7, 1979 column: "'Ron was living in the Cass Corridor,' says Jim Grandon, 37, a Tigers' season ticket holder who has known Cameron since they met in the lower deck bleachers in 1957. 'He was broke One weekend Ron existed on water and potato chips. I'd offer to buy him lunch and he wouldn't let me. He was embarrassed, I guess. But he borrowed $500 from me to go to umpires' school. Paid it all back, too.'"
Joe would be the perfect person to write Ron's biography. He has the knowledge, understanding and passion about Ron to do a good job. Ron's life would make a very interesting book, with Ron as a case study for an analysis of sports fans; people rising from humble beginnings; the history of Detroit sports in the last 50 years; and the challenges faced by entrepreneurs. Even though Ron's gone, there is plenty of primary source material in the stories he told about himself on the air.

Re: Ron Cameron
I recall that after LaPointe's 1979 column was printed, Ron came into the store (Kent Drugs) and was not happy. Mr. Cameron intimated that he and Mr. LaPointe were "through." Evidently they reconciled.
