TOM ROUNDS, 77 (1936-June 1, 2014)
Radio executive and deejay, who in Hawaii in 1959, set a record for sleepliness while deejaying from a department store window for 260 hours. A record that has since been broken by Randy Gardner who stayed awake for 264.4 hours in 1964.
I can'r help but remember when Dick Van Dyke did that on his TV show.
He was later a music video and rock festival pioneer and helped develop the American Top 40 Show with Casey Kasem (who died June 14, 2014).
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
