Bye bye Dave

I’ve lived here in the SF Bay area for some odd years. Radio stations have come and gone but Kfog has always been steadfast. Its taken me across the bay when I worked at Visa and part of that trip was always this guy Dave. Dave also did the 10@10 thing which was usually a wonderful parade down my past lined with political, philosophical, and social undertones. The Merc has a nice write-up of Dave and this statement kinda summarizes the feeling:

The nothing special part is hogwash, of course. Morey’s natural ability to connect with listeners via his mellow, low-key demeanor and vast musical knowledge was evident since his early days at KFOG, when he worked the midday shift and wrote commercials. Morey had the honor of flipping the switch in September 1982, when the station changed formats from so-called elevator music to
rock ‘n’ roll.

Dave’s Kfog blog tells the meandering story better perhaps.

It was all special and the years I spent with Dave and the music were special. He always let me feel connected and the memories from 10@10 were good.

Thanks Dave.
