Even though I don’t listen the radio very much anymore, if ever, in Oklahoma City, KRXO often got me through my teen years by playing the only music I could ever truly identify with – classic rock. That station had a somewhat colorful cast of on-air characters, but the disc jockey that I often listened to on my cheap Koss headphones was Dave Kelso.
I was floored to learned that he died yesterday.
A name from my past, to be fair, I barely knew he was still a radio personality and, to my shock, I had no idea that he had been struggling with an aggressive form of brain cancer known as glioblastoma. When I learned he passed yesterday, a few good memories came rushing back.
