Review & Description
In this book, you will see images of KSHEs earliest broadcasts from the basement of station founder Ed Ceries' home. You will learn how the station affected a small but loyal following after it turned to rock in 1967. There are stories from those who were there, including Richard Palmese, (whose on air name was Brother Love), Ron Elz (Johnny B. Goode) and family and friends of the late Ron Lipe (Prince Knight), the late Bob Skaggs (Big Jack Davis) and the late Lee Coffee (The Musical Pumpkin). You will become acquainted with their struggle to put this station on the map, along with outrageous moments that have almost faded into oblivion. What makes this book different from other books about rock music is that the photography of bands at shows is shown alongside announcements and promotions broadcasted on KSHE. Almost major event in KSHEs long history is covered with stories, photos and artifacts. From the legendary Kite Flys to the Birthday Parties to how Shelley Grafman brought this station to the halcyon days of the 1970s, the book has it. From Progressive rock, Metal, Southern Rock, New Wave, Punk and Grunge, KSHE has been there through it all and it all lands on the pages of this book. To cover the last 25 years of KSHEs history, the author was given unprecedented access to the people who have or still work at KSHE. Everyone from John Ulett, John Beck, J.C. Corcoran, Favazz, Katy Kruze, Rich Dalton to Mark Klose took time out to talk to the author. This book will be a must-have for any rock enthusiast or KSHE fan. Read more
