Johnny Ginter Loves Everybody, But Especially You
Cincinnati AM radio station 700 WLW was a big part of my life growing up, and in particular an afternoon comedy show hosted by Gary Burbank called, uh... "The Gary Burbank Show," I guess? My dad wielded dictatorial control over the car radio (as all dads do), and I was eternally grateful when I got to listen to goofy characters called Earl Pitts or game shows like "Sports or Consequences" instead of whatever maudlin 80's adult contemporary crap was being featured on the FM side of the dial.
Anyway, that's not the point. Gary Burbank was funny and silly and (most importantly) seemed to genuinely have a fantastic time doing what he was doing.
