Gary Burbank was a once nationally popular DJ who worked for about 25 years at Cincinnati's WLW radio. I quit listening to him when AM radio turned to the dark side but MAN, was he funny back in the day! I first discovered him as a character in Don Rosa's CAPTAIN KENTUCKY strip in the late '70s when he was a deejay in Louisville. Then he moved here and my girlfriend in 1981 became obsessed with his crazy characters. She got me to listen to his show and I did, too, for several years. In the '90s, he even came in my store once to buy something. He swore me to secrecy about his real name when he handed me his credit card. He was all charm and hilarious in person!
This bio came out back in 2009, and my bookselling career ended at the beginning of that year so I missed it completely. Picked it up today at a Library used book sale. The author, Greg Hoard, died this past February.
