New Progressive Airplay

(In Order) Steve Miller Band

Cat Stevens Heart

Notes: The plateaus indicate degrees of airplay.

Bonnie Raitt has solidified her position by improving

dramatically in the South. Now the Midwest remains alone

in denying her its first position. The Midwest is a point

of interest also because, while denying Bonnie Raitt, it

brings both Foreigner and Emerson, Lake and Palmer into

the top 10. the whole, a new wave of albums inherits the chart and pressure for the top position goes on and on.

Notes: It's a short list because the artists who follow, like Outlaws ard Beatles, Live, are too far below the top 3 to be grouped with them. This exemplifies a current trend in narrowing playlists. Those several new things get tested; only a.few new albums each week get power play.

Miscellaneous Information

Imports: The single import cf great importance is the Beatles album Live From Hamburg, Germany in 1962. It doubles the number two record.

Singles: Persistently the Graham Parker EP maintains its dominance as newer singles whirl

around it. Ronnie Spector, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and Frampton are also very strong.

Program Notes

I've been impressed lately by the large and growing number of programmers who are doing call out research. Only a couple of years ago, hardly anyone had ever heard of it. Now it seems to be

the accepted way of supplementing retail sales and phone request data. The system has grown so fast that there is still apparently no standard methodology. There are, however, a few practices that programmers in general do apply. Such as:

"We don't identify the call as coming from a radio station".

"We limit our calls to five minutes each. After that time the listener's attention span declines."

"We put about 20 seconds of each record on the cassette that we play for the people we call. We always try to select the part of the record with the strongest hook".

"Most people express negative reaction to unfamiliar material".

"It's much easier to get the co-operation of people under 35; in the older demographics there's much more resistance".

"We use many college students who volunteer to "ielp us on the phones."

"We follow up our call outs by mailing out prinned record lists, which are rated and returned to us. It gives a special phone number that they can call to hear the records if they don't recognize the titles."

"Music tastes shown by the passive audience we call are generally slower than those of the active listeners who phone us their requests."

"Call outs are indispensible in re-evaluating t1.-e old hits". And so it goes. Looking at those quotes again, T realize that some of them probably don't

reflect general practices but represent just one programmer. But no matter.

There's some criticism of the validity of call out research. It's pointed out that listening

to music on the phone is not a normal listening environment. True enough. But the programmer

is not trying to audition a record - he is playing a small part of it only as a reminder, so

that the listener can recall how he reacted when he was In a normal environment.

Like all forms of research in which a selected sample is used to project the total picture,

discrepancies are bound to occur. The important thing is that radio is taking the initiative in finding a replacement for the disappearing retail sales data as a music programming guide.

By itself call out research may be inadequate in sorte markets, but an a supplement to other information sources it can prove extremely valuable. In the years to come some of today's

research methods may seem primitive, but for radio today they provide the many experiments and tests that are necessary for future refinements.

Dan McKinnon created the "Grab A Babbitt" promotion for KSON, San Diego. There were 124 entrants, finally narrowing down to two. Whoever could keep both hands on a V.W. Babbitt longest could drive it home. After 74 hours 27 minutes and 15 seconds, somebody offered Dennis Angaletto a banana. When he reached for it, 20 year old Sharon Johnson won the car.

KSO-Des Moines will present a free outdoor concert July 10. They're looking for new talent who'd perform for transportation and lodging expenses.

In Burlingame, Kansas, last Sunday ( 29) WDAF hosted a "Blanket On The Ground" Festival, with Mickey Gilley as the star of the show.

Gavin's Gab It seems that some station in San Diego planned to program a weekend of old hits. Not unusual, but they managed to get a local newspaper columnist to write it up. That isn't extraordinary,

either, but by some strange mischance, the column, when it appeared in the paper, carried the wrong call letters: KFMB/FM, who had not been planning an oldies weekend. So, PD Bobby Rich said, "Well, if we're getting all that free publicity, let's have an oldies weekend". And they did

This year's 9th Annual Raft Race, sponsored by WQXI-Atlanta was the biggest ever. Imagine 60,000 people on rafts in the river, with over 200,000 observers lined along the river banks.

We're told that Newsweek mag covered the story and will carry it in their next issue. WTSN-Dover presented its own version of a Memorial Day Weekend: They programmed the top 100 hits

for each of the five years 1972-1976 ( inclusive) and played those 500 records to an " incredible response".

Now that KOIN-Portland has changed call letters to KYTE, they have a new rock format and a new

air staff: Don Wright, J.J. Jeffries, ( WKY), Pat Clark ( KOFM), Joe Michaels ( KJR), Ron Leonard ( KCBQ), Preston Thompson ( KBCQ), and Karen Knight ( KPAM). Weekends: Tom Brooks & operations manager Mike Davis.

4 Album of the Week (reviewed by Ron Fell)

"American Stars and Bars"-Neil Young ( Reprise) Four producers and 2 1/2 years later, Neil Young surfaces with some enchanting music. The front cover aptly describes some of the chaos to be heard inside but his writing is sharp and sensitive. His mixture of acoustic and electrified instrumentation will satisfy the Young loyalists. HOLD BACK THE TEARS (with Linda Ronstadt) is beautifully written and we're sure to hear a lot of it in the months to come. This will probably also be the case with STAR OF BETHLEHEM (with Emmylou Harris) SADDLE UP THE PALOMINO and a tumultuous LIKE A HURRICANE.

Also recommended from the following LP's:

"In My Stride"-David Ruffin ( Motown) YOU'RE MY PEACE OF MIND/CAN'T STOP THE RAIN/QUESTIONS/ I'M JEALOUS

"Feel The Nepd"-Detroit Emeralds ( Westbound) GET IT OUT/FEEL THE NEED "Reggie Knièhton"-Reggie Knighton ( Columbia) FIDELITY/VD GOT TO IDI "Ship of Memories"-Focus ( Sire) P'S MARCH/GLIDER/CRACKERS

"Havin' A House Party"-Willie Hutch ( Motown) WE'RE GONNA PARTY TONIGHT/AFTER LOVE IS GONE "Life Style"-John Klemmer ( ABC) TOUGH & TENDER/QUIET AFTERNOON

"Free As The Wind"-The Crusaders ( ABC) FREE AS THE WIND/I FELT THE LOVE/FEEL IT "Sweet Passion"-Aretha Franklin ( Atlantic) BREAK IT TO ME GENTLY/WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU/WHAT I

DID FOR LOVE/TOUCH ME UP

"Manifest Destiny"-Dictators ( Asylum) SLEEPIN' WITH THE T.V. ON/HEY BOYS "Cat Scratch Fever"-Ted Nugent ( Epic) WORKIN' HARD/1000 KNIVES/OUT OF CONTROL/DEATH BY MISADVENTUX/ "Weapons of Peace"-Weapons of Peace ( Playboy) ROOTS MEDLEY/CITY/JUST KEEP ON SMILING

• -14- • Bill Gavin's: Pergonal Picks

(6/3/77)

- - - I especially like:

WAY DOWN-Elvis Presley ( RCA) Elvis recaptures much of the vitality and vocal charm that dominated the record scene two decades ago. Arrangement makes effective use of background voices, one of whom is a deep, rich bass who could sing in anybody's barber shop quartet any time.

TF YOU SEE ME GETTING SMALLER I'M LEAVING-Jimmy Webb ( Atlantic) Intriguing, imaginative lyric in an appropriate setting. Jimmy Webb is still one of today's most creative musical talents. It's good to have him back. ( P.S. The album is fine, too.)

EVERY MAN MUST HAVE A DREAM-Liverpool Express ( Atco) A quality production that rates considera-tion by A-C programmers as well as top 40.

HIGHER & HIGHER-Jesse Colin Young ( Warner Bros.) Arrangement is a musical hat trick - as in hockey - a score in every period. Singer contributes a rousing performance.

Gary Taylor's Personal Picks DON'T WORRY BABY-B.J. Thomas ( MCA) Usually when someone does a Beach Boys song it doesn't

come off. Not true in this case as B.J. re-surfaces with one of the finest of summer songs. SWEET ALIBIS-Carole Bayer Sager ( Elektra) A unique record. The masterful vocal presence, the

sadness of the lyric - whoever she is she has a new fan sitting here.

Also Possible IT TOOK A LONG TIME-Bob Crewe ( Elektra) LITTLE DARLIN'-Dave Edmunds ( Swan Song) MIND EXCURSION-Peter Andreoli ( 20th) THE FINAL THING-Steve Bender ( London) OLD SCHOOLYARD-Cat Stevens ( A&M) HERE COMES SUMMER-Wildfire ( Casablanca) ONLY A DREAM AWAY-James Darren ( Private St.) WOULDN'T MATTER WHERE YOU ARE-Minnie Riperton ( Epic)

Regional Meetings We'll hold two meetings this month: June 11-12 in Milwaukee at the River Hilton Hotel, and

June 25-26 in Denver at the Mariott Hotel. Same registration procedure: $25 for radio people only - includes lunch and cocktails. Record folks invited for cocktails - $10 each. Same type of unstructured programs - no speakers or panels, no formal agenda. Three sessions, three different moderators.

In Milwaukee, we'll be joined by my old friend, Gary Stevens, formerly an air personality and now general manager of KDWB-Mpls./St. Paul. Gary will moderate our Saturday afternoon session, and Jonathan Little will be our Sunday moderator. Jim Brown, PD of WOKY, will welcome visitors to Milwaukee, and Jack Lee, manager of WEMP, will be our first moderator. Also on hand will by Prof. Larry Lichty of the University of Wisconsin ( in Madison) who will bring along six of his students in a class he is teaching on Radio Programming. Back in the 50's Larry was a disc jockey on KRIO-Indio and voiced our old "Lucky Lager Dance Time" show. Another welcome guest in Milwaukee will be Jim Loupas, formerly chief engineer at WCFL and now a top notch radio consultant.

I'm happy to announce that another old personal friend, Ken Palmer, will be on hand for our Denver meeting. He was formerly the owner-manager of KIMN in the days when that station truly

dominated the Denver market. Our three Denver moderators will be Alan Haig, PD of KRSP-Salt Lake City, Hal Moore, PD of KHOW-Denver, and Hal Widsten, PD of KLZ-Denver.

We remind our readers - again - that managers, engineers, sales persons, newspersons - all are welcome to attend our regional meetings. Since most of our radio readers are in the program

departments, we urge you to pass the word along to the others. Much of our discussions at

past meetings have dealt with relationships between programming and the various other depart-ments, while very little time has been devoted to the programming of music.

After Denver we'll skip July and August, convening again Sept. 10 & 11 in Portland, Oregon, at the Sheraton Hotel. That will be followed on Oct. 1-2 by our Louisville meeting, to be held at the Galt House. Mark your calendars!

It is no longer news that Paul Drew is setting up an independent operation to be known as Paul

Drew Enterprises. He is leaving his VP spot with RK0 Radio, effective July 1, but will continue

working with the chain in an advisory capacity. He will then be in a position to consult other

radio clients.

I've known Paul for almost nineteen years. He was at WGST-Atlanta at the time he became one of

our charter correspondents, having come South from Detroit. While there he got to know Phil

Yarbrough, , later to gain fame as Bill Drake. Paul later moved to WQXI, where he worked for several years with Kent Burkhart.

His career took him to CKLW-Detroit and then to WIBG-Philadelphia, where the unexpected sale of

the station - to Buckley - gave him a chance to turn his attention to the West. He served as PD at KFRC and later at KHJ before taking over the programming VP chores for RKO Radio.

I know of no one more totally dedicated to radio than Paul Drew. He has "rolled with the punches"

and has surmounted each adversity with a still greater accomplishment. Perhaps sometimes he has asked more from his people than they were able or willing to give, but only because his own

standard has always been 100% of himself for his job. We wish him well in his new venture.

John Sebastian has a full time job available for somebody to be weekend air talent and do music

research. No calls, please. Tape and resume to KDWB-St. Paul, Box 7630, Zip 55119. The King Broadcasting Group has contracted with Avco Broadcasting to purchase KYA ( AM & FM)-San

Francisco and WRTH ( FM)-Wood River, Ill. ( St. Louis area). Pending FCC approval, of course. At Bryan College Station, Texas, PD Don Davis will be taking over the music cnores ai. ruAtm,

placing Jon Kelly. Jon will remain on the air, but goes back to A&M University for classes. Tom Bergeron will leave WHAV-Haverhill, Mass., early in July, so that he can apprentice to mimest

Tony Montenaro in So. Paris, Maine. WDAO-Dayton will present a June 15 concert in the city's Convention Center. It's all for the

benefit of the Drew Health Center. Three local acts will appear, and the producers would welcome

the appearance of outside recording artists. Contact Turk Logan, 513,224-1137.

Tom "Smokey" Rivers has been promoted to PD of KRKE,Plbuquerque. He replaces Bill Burkett, who

moves on to the PD spot at WKY-Oklahoma City.

Dave Conway has resigned his music director/air talent position at KCRS-Midland to go into business

for himself. PD Dick Baze will look after the music for the time being. Ed Shane sends us a quote from Kiplinger's "Changing Times" which notes that the four occupations

showing the most frequent career changes are garage and gas station workers, bill collectors,

computer operators and broadcast announcers. Ed queries: "Does this mean broadcasting is in bad shape because we cannot hold our performers? Or does it mean we're lucky that those who

can't take the heat get out of the kitchen? Another Shane - Doug Shane, of WVOV-Huntsville - was one of five radio types who set out last week to break the Guiness World Record for Roller Coaster riding - 72 hours. So they went to the Petticoat Junction in Panama City, famous for the world's fastest roller coaster. They claimed an average speed of 70 mph - said something went wrong with the control equipment - but set a new record of 74 hours.

Steve Davis, PD of WBTR-Carrollton, now doing the music. Steve Johnson now becomes production

director.

KLWN-Lawrence, Kansas, is currently running a contest whose prize is a vacation trip to anywhere in the world.

WBOW-Terre Haute, Ind., celebrating 50 years on the air. They'd like to record phone greetings

from former employees. Ask for Barry Kent, 812-232-5034.

5,500 people. They're planning another for July 4. Revised lineup at KHJ-Los Angeles: Charlie Tuna, John Leader, Bobby Ocean, M.G. Kelly, Mason

Dixon, Shana and Sally Adams. Weekends Big Bob Anthony. John Sebastian announces a revised air staff at KDWB-St.Paul/Mpls.: Dave Thompson, Bob Lange,

Albums of the Week (reviewed by Ron Fell)

"I'm In You"-Peter Frampton ( A&M) When your fifth album becomes the biggest selling and one of the most played "live" albums in record history and you still have the prime of your life ahead of you, the anticipation and creative pressure surrounding your sixth album could

scramble your brain. Frampton seems to overcome these obstacles with very sophisticated and self assured performances. A "Motown" set of I'M A ROADRUNNER and SIGNED SEALED AND DELIVERED along with the hit single I'M IN YOU and ST. THOMAS make for a very good "studio" effort by Peter Frampton.

"David Dundas"-David Dundas ( Chrysalis) Dundas started as a jingle singer for an advertising agency in England, his most famous being a little ditty for Brutus Jeans called JEANS ON. Using the studio to produce a "commercial" album, he's pitching a set of pleasant and programmable cuts. NEW YORK DOLL, ANOTHER FUNNY HONEYMOON, HOLD ON and DAISY STAR are a little less "novelty" in nature than JEANS ON and wear well through repeated listenings.

"Clover"-Clover ( Mercury) These guys have been plugging along in various dives and other small clubs around here for a number of years now, but it wasn't until they went to Monmouth, Wales, that they found the pot at the end of the rainbow. Their strength is in their vocals, as is apparent on cuts like: LOVE LOVE, STREETS OF LONDON, I LIE AWAKE and THE STORM. Well done.

"Blowin' Away"-Joan Baez ( Portrait) If Laugh-In were still awarding its Fickle Fingers Of Fate, the picture of Joan on the cover would be a prime candidate. She's much too attractive these days to be costumed so nonsensically. But since we shouldn't judge a book or singer by the cover, lets move on to the music. The inclusion of SAILING, the Rod Stewart classic written by Gavin Sutherland and MANY A MILE TO FREEDOM, from the Traffic catalogue are two of the strongest cuts. Joan's own A HEART FELT LINE OR TWO and the resurrection of CRY ME A RIVER add to the album's goodness.

Also recommended from the following LP's:

"Knock ' Em Dead Kid"-Trooper ( MCA) KNOCK ' EM DEAD/WE'RE HERE FOR A GOOD TIME/COLD COLD TORONTO/ WAITIN' ON YOUR LOVE

Bill Gavin's Personal Picks

(6/1o/77)

- - - I especially like:

SWEET SUMMER MUSIC-Attitudes ( Dark Horse) First released last July, I picked it then and I

still like the sound of the crisp vocal harmonies and the sparkling instrumental backing.

I GO CRAZY-Paul Davis ( Bang) Quality side features an imaginative arrangement backing a convincing performance by the singer.

Gary Taylor's Personal Picks

TAKE YOU RACK-Valentine ( United Artists) The a cappella side from the "Rocky" soundtrack is

pulling requests at WDBQ-Dubuque, and KJOY-Stockton. The other side is a full-blown exciting

arrangement. If music sounds this good on the street corners of Philadelphia, I'm moving east.

I'M DREAMING-Jennifer Warnes ( Arista)

IT'S A CRAZY WORLD-Mac McAnally ( Ariola)

FEELS SO MUCH BETTER-Patti Leatherwood ( Epic) WE'RE HERE FOR A GOOD TIME-Trooper ( MCA)

RUNNING BACK TO ME-Ruby ( PBR)

LOVE IS ON THE AIR-Larry Henley ( Epic)

Also Possible

I BELIEVE IN LOVE-Kenny Loggins ( Columbia)

SOMETHING ABOUT YOU-LeBlanc & Carr ( Big Tree)

THE SONGS SOUND DIFFERENT TO ME NOW -Lightheart(Janus

EVERY MOMENT-Highway 101 ( MCA) SWEET SUMMERTIME -Q ( Epic)

MY SENSITIVE, PASSIONATE MAN-Melba Moore ( Buddah)

Inside Progressive Radio

(by George Meier, Editor of Walrus)

The Musical Horizon

One hundred plus new albums, all relating in some way to progressive music, clutter the scene. Of course, in that number you would expect to find a share of really significant LP's.

Some are especially noticeable because of who's involved. Both Heart and Steve Miller

come off of potent albums. Heart has released a more finished recording, but one which

may not have the magical tunes found on their first effort. Steve Miller, on the other hand, generates an organically whole statement. It's musical and moves so easily.

The contrast between the feel of the Alice Cooper and the Bob Marley & The Wailers albums could

not be more opposite. Where Alice seems encased in a musical context, Marley seems liberated.

Cooper has started a new life in his last few albums, trying to make it more on music than

pizzazz. On this LP a new pizzazz starts to clutter the music and push it out. Whereas the Wailers seem to have settled down, forgetting the politics and the run for the roses, to make music.

And then there were the assorted live albums. If you'll remember last year, you'll note that

live albums now count. Both Bette Midler and Barry Manilow document their rising demographics.

For Bette, success is vexing; for Barry, it is seventh heaven, cloud nine, the real McCoy and all the rest.

Yet another contrast exists between a casual, even wasted, Bee Gees live set and a Moody Blues

album of some importance. First, The Moodies are still a very powerful group among the progressive legends while others fade; and second, there are five new tunes on the album. Look for big things.

Finally, the just plain basic rock and roll purity of the Rubinoos' album is enough to make you smile. If it feels good, it is good.

Airplay

Notes: The top 3 LP's are well seated in positions of

airplay dominance. Regional variations are what keep the list dynamic. For example, Supertramp is very strong in

the N.E. and Midwest while they do only okay elsewhere. Van Morrison is top 5 in the N.E. and much less utilized in

other regions. Also, hanging on to a tenth position we find Poco in N.E., Dickey Betts in the South and Emerson, Lake & Palmer in the Midwest.

Notes: There are four plateaus among the new LP's; broad

acceptance, good acceptance, fair acceptance, and no acceptance-the last two aren't listed. The fifth position, though substantially back, in the N.E., South and Midwest was Roy Buchanan. The Midwest replaces the Wailers with the Outlaws in its top 4. Oddly, the Outlaws didn't do well in the South,

their home base. That will most likely correct itself next time around. Other regionals have Mink DeVille doing well in the N.E.

and UFO strong in the West where else? Miscellaneous Information

Gavin's Gab New angle on planned parenthood ( sort of) - "Shotgun" Ken Shepherd, PD of KROK-Shreveport, rushed

his wife, Pam, to the hospital Saturday ( 12th) and waited there for the new arrival. Becoming restless - and lonesome - in the father's waiting room, he got on the phone around midnight and

called in all his jocks for a staff meeting at lAM - right there in the hospital. They showed up promptly and kept Ken company until 4AM. It helped Ken through the 18 hours of labor, at •

the end of which he greeted his new son, 6lbs. 4 oz. Maybe the above is why KROK will observe Father's Day by having all the wives take their husbands'

places on the air Sunday. Bachelors on the staff are taking applications from ladies who'd

like to be wives for a day. Sacks of mail coming in, bringing a wide variety of interesting qualifications.

Ed Alexander reports from KTKT-Tucson that because of high summer temperatures in the Southwest, loosely packed singles and albums sent through the mail often arrive badly warped. "PleasE pack tightly", pleads Ed.

At KJRB-Spokane, Tommy Hutyler will be promoted to music director, effective June 27. He replaces Michael Christian, who is leaving to pursue other interests. Tommy can accept music calls on

Mondays only, between 3 & 5PM..

Albums of the Week )1 (reviewed by Ron Fell) "Superman" -Barbra Streisand ( Columbia) An album of more musical highpoints than the triple

platinum "Star Is Born" Soundtrack, but unfortunately for Lady Barbra and her record company there's no movie. There is a connection, however, with two songe written for, but not included in, the movie. SUPERMAN, CABIN FEVER, and MY HEART BELONGS TO ME should be big phone items with radio stations as should Kim Carnes' LOVE COMM FROM UNEXPECTED PLACES and DON'T BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ.

"MY Own Way To Rock" -Burton Cummings ( Portrait) This proves his first solo album wasn't a fluke. A solid set of direct, olympic vocals delivered with confidence. His current single, TIMELESS LOVE, the title track MY OWN WAY TO ROCK, CHARLEMAGNE, and A SONG FOR HIM are "gold medal" performances and NEVER HAD A LADY BEFORE and GOTTA FIND ANOTHER WAY get the "silver".

"Monkey Island" -Geils ( Atlantic) Finally they get to produce themselves after nine albums. First thing they did was change the name from J.Geils Band to just plain Geils. They saved much of their villanous streetrock sound for cuts like SOMEBODY and they hang tough for MONKEY ISLAND. Then they throw in some motor city juke joint jive on SO GOOD, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE, and I DO, setting a world record for chanting DO DO over and over hundreds of times in 3 minutes.

• • Bill Gavin's Personal Picks

(6/17/77)

- - - I especially like:

SUNFLOWER-Glen Campbell ( Capitol) Plays from the LP have produced localized storms of phone

response. Composer made it very easy on the guitar player, with only three chord changes in the entire piece.

DOWN THE HALL-Four Seasons ( W.B.) Offers an imaginative variety of harmonic colors as a background for Mr. Gaudio's solos. Group's high pitched harmonizing is, as always, a delight.

WE JUST DISAGREE-Dave Mason ( Columbia) Second single release from the fine album, "Let It Flow". The vocal trio performs with precision and style. Deserves consideration at the top 40 and A-C levels.

Gary Taylor's Personal Pick NEVER BEEN TO THE ISLANDS-Amazing Rhythm Aces ( ABC) The lead vocal presents his stylized

technique with finesse and feeling. A hit - perhaps, certainly it is enjoyable listening.

CRY-Muench ( Republic) LONG AWAY-Queen ( Elektra) SWEET DESTINY-Gene Cotton ( ABC) COME SOFTLY TO ME-Brenton Wood ( Cream) HURRY SUNDOWN-Outlaws ( Arista) ROCK ME-Brendon ( Ariola)

Also Possible DARLING-Fringe Benefit ( Capricorn) EVERYBODY OUGHT TO BE IN LOVE-Paul Anka ( U.A.) LEAVING YOU IS KILLING ME-Vernon Burch ( Columbia) PLATINUM HEROES-Bruce Foster ( Millennium)

I BELIEVE YOU-Dorothy Moore ( Malaco) LET ME LOVE YOU ONCE BEFORE YOU GO-Dusty Spring-

field ( U.A.) ********

Regional Radio Meetings Those who have not pre-registered for our Denver meeting next weekene - 6/25-26, may do so at

the door. Same registration fee - $25,-which includes Saturday lunch and Saturday evening cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. Three or more from the same radio station may register for $20 each. Record friends may register for cocktails for a $10 fee.

Our registration table at the Mariott Hotel will open Saturday morning at 8:30. Complimentary

coffee available. First session starts at 9 o'clock, kicked off by greetings from one of Denver's radio pioneers, Ken Palmer. Moderator will be Alan Hague, PD of KRSP-Salt Lake City. Our afternoon session moderator will be Hal Moore, popular Denver radio personality and PD of KHOW.

Sunday session starts at 10AM, with Hal Widsten, PD of KLZ, as moderator. We'll wind up and head for home at 1PM.

We urge the attendance of managers, sales persons and chief engineers. There's a lot of inter-departmental things to talk about.

Our Milwaukee regional meeting was excellent. I can't recall a previous meeting where all three

moderators were roundly applauded as they concluded their sessions. Take your bows, Jack Lee (WEMP-Mgr.), Gary Stevens ( KDWB-V.P. & Mgr.), Jonathan Little ( WISM-Asst. PD and M.D.).

Probably the highlight discussion centered around radio's problem of increasing audience fragmenta-tion in the face of constantly increasing costs. As Gary Stevens said, "We're having to charge

more and more for less and less." We also took a look at public broadcasting and the dangers of public radio's encroachment on the advertising dollar.

Gourmet note: Next time you're in Milwaukee, be sure to eat dinner - or lunch - at the Karl Ratsch

Restaurant, and make your dinner reservations a couple of days in advance. And you'd hardly expect to find great sea food in a spot so far from the sea, but the Anchorage at the Hilton can hold its own with any restaurant on the coast. ( I must have put on four or five pounds!)

Inside Progressive Radio (by George Meier, Editor of Walrus)

•

Musical Overview Progressive radio isn't always very progressive. It never really was, although for some

years it created that illusion. The unfortunate aspect of that reality is that the two LP's which stood out above the 68 odd LP's we auditioned will get relatively little airtime One album is by a rejuvenated, old, creative wellspring, Omette Coleman and the other is

by a rejuvenating, new creative wellspring Osamu Kitajima.

Coleman hasn't been heard from in some time. He returns blowing his caustic horn, having

absorbed the sounds and intensities of contemporary music. It's a striking blend.

Osamu returns with the East-West fusion which highlighted last year's music adventure. It promises to do the same this year. His ability to make Japanese instruments palatable to a Western ear, albeit a progressive ear, is extra-ordinary. Complex and innovative rhythm arrangements consume listener interest.

On the more mainstream side, we heard the creditatle Dan Fogelbers. LP. Though we have a

particular - some feel it to be a peculiar - aversion to the sweetening, the album is one of substance. Some fine songwriting comes through the overproduction.

Finally, the rock and roll album which seemed to jump out of the grooves was issued by Mother's Finest. Blasting like a funky Led Zeppelin, this band has had an identity problem on a radio level. Apparently black people aren't supposed to be able to play this

style of rock music. They eloquently snuffed that notion on their first LP; here they did it musically.

Albums of the Week (reviewed by Ron Fell)

"CSN"-Crosby, Stills & Nash (Atlantic) It really is good to have these guys back in the configura-

tion that brought them their early commercial succe3s. The 12 cuts with nearly 44 minutes of music capture the essence of what was, and is now again, a supergroup. SHADOW CAPTAIN, SEE THE CHANGES, FAIR GAME, JUST A SONG BEFORE I GO, CATHEDRAL and the brilliant DARK STAR give a full

sail/three sheets to the wind performance. "JT"-James Taylor ( Columbia) Good to have "Sweet Baby James" back. HANDY MAN was just a teaser but

its big jumps in airplay the past couple of weeks foretell the sure success of the whole album. Side two might well be his best single side of vinyl yet. Taylor is one of the few acoustic balladeers who can captivate even progressive radio programmers without overwhelming productions

or provocative lyrics. "One Of The Boys"-Roger Daltrey ( MCA) In the rock opera "Tommy", Roger usually played the title

role. At one point, Tommy, a schizophrenic teenager, looks in the mirror, smashes it and

immediately becomes a "sensation". In real life Daltrey has gone to the mirror on this, his 3rd solo album, and goes thru the same shattering exercise. Andy Pratt's AVENGING ANNIE and

Steve Gibbons' ONE OF THE BOYS are gritty, while LEON, THE PRISONER, and PARADE soften the over-all album just enough.

"Making A Good Thing Better"-Olivia Newton-John ( MCA) A nicely balanced album with its share of romance and rejection, sung in her exquisite vocal style. Her current single, MAKING A GOOD THING BETTER and another cut, SAD SONGS, contain just enough thrust to meet the demands of pop programmers. The countrified I THINK I'LL SAY GOODBYE and whisperous SLOW DANCING and SO EASY TO BEGIN make this good thing better.

Also recommended from the following LP's: "Love Gun"-Kiss ( Casablanca) CHRISTINE SIXTEEN/THEN SHE KISSED ME/I STOLE YOUR LOVE "Fork It Over"-The Section ( Capitol) STREET PIZZA/MOON OVER FONTANA "Miracles"-Engelbert Humperdinck ( Epic) WITHOUT YOU/LOVING YOU LOSING YOU/YOU ARE THERE "I Robot"-Alan Parsons Project ( Arista) I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU/BREAKDOWN/DAY AFTER DAY "Choosing You"-Lenny Williams ( ABC) CHOOSING YOU/RIDING THE HIGH WIRE

"Kicked Back"-Tom Bresh ( ABC/Dot) HEART OF THE COUNTRY/I WONDER WHAT IT'S LIKE/THE WAY I FEEL TONIGHT/MAKE IT PRETTY FOR ME BABY

"Cream City"-Aalon ( Arista) CREAM CITY/SUMMER LOVE "All Hopped Up"-NRBQ ( Red Rooster) RIDIN' IN MY CARREL? ME/CECELIA "Cloudy"-Tamiko Jones ( Atlantic II) CREEPIN'/REACHIN' OUT FOR YOUR LOVE "Reunion"-Country Joe & The Fish ( Fantasy) TIME FLIES BY/THUNDERBIRD/GIBSON'S SONG

Bill Gavin's Personal Picks

(6/24/77)

- - - I especially like: TURNING TO YOU-Charlie ( Janus) Makes skillful use of overdubbed vocal harmonies. Repetitive

lyric falls far short of the quality of the singing, which will have to carry this entry as

far as it is going to get.

Gary Taylor is not making any picks this week.

MY FAIR SHARE-Seals & Crofts ( W.B.) MAGIC LADY-Lavender Hill Mob ( U.A.)

EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY -Graeme Edge ( London) SECOND THOUGHTS -Frankie Valli ( Private Stock)

Also Possible HOW MUCH LOVE-Leo Sayer ( W.B.)

DON'T BET YOUR LOVE-Masterplan ( A&M) ROCK & ROLL NEVER FORGETS-Bob Seger ( Capitol)

PLEASE TELL HIM THAT I SAID HELLO-Marie Osmond (Polydor)

Gavin's Gab Recent staff changes at WCOL-Columbus point up a powerful new trend in radio programming. Bryan

McIntyre, formerly operations director of both the AM & FM stations, has been named vice president in charge of music research. He has three full time assistants and a budget. His

new department will explore the various research techniques being employed in other cities and will develop its own methodology to fit the needs of the community.

When the top 40 format smashed into the broadcast spectrum twenty-five years ago, radio embraced its first form of "research". Call the stores - find out what's selling - list the forty best sellers - ear-pick a bunch of new releases - build super audience shares - raise the rate card make lots of profits. Today, dwindling singles sales compound programmers' difficulties in sampling public tastes. More and more broadcasters are seeking solutions in a variety of new, and more sophisticated, forms of audience research. WCOL's assignment of a four person department to work exclusively in the area of finding out what music the people like - and

don't like - indicates the seriousness with which management regards the need. ********

Even though the ugly practice of payola has practically disappeared from top 40 radio, apparently

it is not quite dead. I had a report recently of money that was offered - and refused - to

play a certain record. Another report discloses a new kind of graft. The promoter tells the music director to hold out some album from the next few contests offering LP's as prizes, then

turn ' em over to him ( promoter) to sell, with cash proceeds coming back to the music director. Are there other similar situations? I'd like to find out. Correspondents are invited to let me

know of other instances of unethical promotional conduct that have come to their attention. These are pimples on the face of our business that should be - and can be - eradicated. Working

together, perhaps we can shine the light into some dark corners and frighten away the rats. It has been my observation that the record business generally is conducted by people who are

honest and straightforward. The few sordid exceptions tend to discredit all. You might have the nicest suit in town, but a small gravy stain on the lapel makes the whole suit seem unwearable.

********

Warner Brothers Records wants everyone to know that the title of the Jesse Colin Young single is being changed from "Higher & Higher" to "Here We Go Again". Former title is the same as the

current hit by Rita Coolidge, although they're different songs. Nick Bazoo tells us that WKKY-Pascagoula has remodeled a Trailways Continental bus into a complete motor home. It's now the "$ 30,000 Magic Bus". Inside it now are 9 merchandise prizes plus cash, that brings total value to $1,000. First listener to correctly identify the prizes wins prizes - but not the bus. Clues are given on the radio and are also at sponsors' stores.

Bill Early has resigned from WMYR-Ft. Myers and is entering the textile business.

New ownership of KSAQ-San Antonio has changed the call letters to KZZY, to be known as KZ-100. Format is top 40; new PD is Ron Dennington. Jock lineup: Pat Riley ( CHUM), Ron Knight, "Keev" Christy, Dave Bradley, Mike "Motherbear" Kelly, Capt. Diablo. Ann Lindsey is news director.

Bill Ford and Lester B.Hanson at KUGN would like to get in touch with jocks who have been on-air

for 20 years or more. -Please drop a note to KUGN, Box 590, Eugene, Oregon 97401. They'll

contact you later by phone. Lotsa changes. Charles Warner replaces Perry Bascom as G.M. at WNBC. Bob Pittman replaces Mel

Phillips at WNBC. Burton Sherwood and Bill Hennes, G.M. & P.D. respectively at WIBG-Philadel-

phia, departed those posts and stepped into the two vacancies at WMAQ left by Warner and Pittman. Music calls: to A.J. Roberts, KDON-Salinas, Mon.-Fri., noon to 2PM.

: to Rick St. Clair, KYJC-Medford, Mon.-Thurs., 10:30AM to 2PM.
