A00017 - Art Laboe, R. I. P.

 Southern California lost another great radio personality.  On the heels of losing the great Vin Scully in August

we are now mourning the loss of the great Art Laboe


For those who grew up in Southern California, or those who have traveled up and down Interstate 5 at night, it was hard not to have listened to Art Laboe and to be hooked by this Oldie but Goodie playing the oldies but goodies of a musical lifetime.  The following California Report broadcast on Art Laboe at 93 highlights the allure of the man and his show.

What is a bit harder to highlight are the memories of listening to Art Laboe while driving through the desert on a moonlit Summer night.  

He will be missed ... but he will continue to live in our memories.
