Re: RIP Tom Shannon
Sad news to hear, you always think your radio heroes will live forever or remain as young as your used to hearing them even though your aging yourself.
Tommy was so smooth with his presentation and one of the golden voices of the Big 8. Yes, he did come from WKBW in Buffalo down to Windsor/Detroit and then he left and came back if I remember right.
Thx for the great times and memories RIP.
