My first WHAS Radio guest is still making sausage 35 years later

Somewhere in the WHAS audio files is a promo that Al Purnell recorded for me on Monday, December 2, 1985 after his appearance on my radio show. In one take, the Shelby County icon barked into the microphone, “Hello friends, Allen Purnell here. Every afternoon I have my tractor radio set to Terr-uh Minur on 84 Dubya H-A-S, cuz he’s gooooooooood!”

Allen Purnell Jr. (2020)

It’s still one of the best promos in Louisville radio history. Thanks, Mr. Purnell. You’re pretty goooooood, too!
