Re: Ron Cameron

As "today's" show began I attempted to call the station to wish Ron a happy 79th. Alas no answer, now I know why. Thanks for the update, Aaron.

Re: Ron Cameron

This must be a rerun of last week's show. I wonder if Ron will show up "live" later, as I seem to recall a circumstance in the recent past where a rerun was played until Mr. Cameron arrived.

Re: Ron Cameron

WPON leading into the show with the Jackson Five performing "Never Can Say Goodbye." Arguably a testament to Ron's persistence.

Re: WPON's AA and Revolving Door Show

This Friday may be the first time a live, local show followed Ron on his birthday since his tenure at WXYZ-AM. (Cameron historians feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)

Re: Ron Cameron

Unlike Jim Harbaugh, this probably explains Ron's fondness for Monte Clark: https://www.ebay.com/itm/394849909730?h ... SwosZk8O18

The Yellow Pages would truly be a gift "that keeps on giving."

Re: Ken Kal

I went to Wayne State with Ken and recall him being a nice guy. I didn't know anything about his health scare, but needless to write I'm very happy to read of his successful recovery.

Re: Ron Cameron

I was surprised to hear Ron's comments regarding George Eichorn as I hadn't even heard Mr. Cameron mention him previously. Curiosity about Mr. Eichorn had me Google his name and I discovered that he, like Rich Kincaide had authored a book in 2003 titled "Detroit's Sports Broadcasters On the Air." As...

Re: Ron Cameron

Bad News For Ron: After repeating hearings of Mr. Cameron's desire for a Yellow Pages directory, I went to Google with the question "Can you still get the Yellow Pages?" Here was the response: "The industry has evolved. The final Yellow Pages phone book was printed in 2019. Most remaining Yellow Pag...

Re: Ron Cameron

According to this story (about half way through) not only was George Eichorn a "good friend" of Ron's, but Ron also had access to the Detroit Tiger's press box and kitchen in 2011. Was this before Ron Colangelo? https://www.polishnews.com/color-music- ... e-baseball

Re: WPON's AA and Revolving Door Show

A "Northern Soul" show sounds (no pun intended) wonderful. I hope you play music that actually was popular in Great Britain at places like the Wigan Casino, Blackpool Mecca, the Golden Torch and the Twisted Wheel. Examples such as "If This Is Love (I'd Rather Be Lonely)" by the Precisions, "Seven Da...
