DAVE SHAFER! SPOTLIGHTING HIS WJBK SHOW THEME: “THE HONEYDRIPPER” [1960] by THE KIRBY STONE FOUR

_______________

Having tapped early-on radio aspirations during his high school days, Dave Shafer left Dover, Delaware for Detroit in 1961. He landed his first radio job, here, as music librarian at WJBK. Shafer eventually found his way behind the microphone – in studio – as the new “Jack the Bellboy” by the following year in 1962. And thus began Dave’s storied, three-decade broadcasting career in Detroit radio. Including stops at WCAR, WOMC, WCZY, along with a 11-year run at CKLW radio in Windsor, Ontario, in the 1960s and 1970s.

Today we are presenting Dave Shafer’s own WJBK show-opening theme. This one was from 1960 – THE HONEYDRIPPER – by the Kirby Stone Four.
