ONE SWELL FOOP
"Wendell" was a writer and producer for Sweet Dick's KGIL stint in the mid-70s and currently has his own corner of
the internet containing thoughts and other comedic accidents. Sadly, he has not only stopped posting at this old blog
(Wendell.me), but has ditched his WENDELL nick name as well. HERE is selection of Sweet Dick related postings
on the old blog.
REELRADIO
Without out a doubt, this is the biggest radio aircheck collection available on the internet! There are tons of
personalities and history to dropkick your modem into overdrive. You need to be a member to listen to their
collection. They now have a Sweet Dick aircheck!
AIRCHEXX
This is a free radio aircheck site and they, too, have a Sweet Dick tape on tap; its the first hour of his KHJ debut
in 1983...technical glitches and all.
KGIL
This station has gone through many formats and ownership for the past 20 years and tracking its changes is a small
task. Luckily, Wikipedia has managed to pin the details down.
MY LUSH LIFE
Douglas McEwan also had written and, later, produced Sweet Dick's KGIL shows from the early 70s. Today he's an
author and has taken the lead character from his new book 'My Lush Life' and given her a blog.

this urban-rama and these two site are a good place to start.
MALLS OF AMERICA: Northridge Fashion Center
Eons ago, I submitted a scan of the postcard and a written piece about this place to the late great blog, MALLS OF AMERICA. The blogger cleaned up the card and posted my scribe with all sorts of NFS information following right behind in the comment section.
The Neighborhood Project: Northridge
If you've read my central 'Sin Fernando' piece, the SFV suburb of Northridge sets largely in my memory and my
introduction to Sweet Dick. This large page offers a lengthy tour of this town without the SFV heat and humidity

Here's the official web site of the station Whittington dose image voice for. He is heard just before the national news

Here's a link of a autobiography by John Rook mentions his "run-in" with Sweet Dick during his days with KFI-AM
An huge site on all things and people in the Los Angeles radio market, from in front and behind the scenes...and
