1...This was one of my favorite IDs..."Listen to Either End."  Produced by Jeff Clarke...and his sense of the strange comes right through.  The well-used copy of the Stones has a big vinyl "pop" in the left channel at the fade.

2...This is Michael "The Crazy Greek" Sakellarides with "Everything We Do is Music."

3..."Buddy, Pull Over" I never did understand.  Too strange for me?  But the listeners loved it.  Jeff Clarke produced.

4...Many of you may remember Jeff Clarke's "Acme Nose Funnel Serenade", brought to you by the Acme Manufacturing Company, purveyors of fine nose funnels, lip straighteners and other petroleum distillates.  The man was very strange.  This is the KQ4 ID based on that theme.  Notice the reference to Brute Flunkmeyer, a shot at Bruce Funkhouser who, at that time, was the Program Director at KINK.  We all called KINK the Muzak of Portland radio.  What's funny here is that Bruce Funkhouser went on to become a VP at Muzak..."Funkhouser enhanced and expanded the company's offerings from two music channels being delivered to 100,000 businesses in 1987, to delivering over 66 music channels via satellite to over 200,000 businesses as well as to 1,000,000 consumers in their homes in 1997."  Job well done, Bruce!

7...Jeff Clarke again with the "All American" ID...a shot at other formats.

8...Ed Hepp did this ID.  Ed was also know as Ed Mitchell in his KFRC days.  This is the "Reverse Reverb" ID.  It was a popular effect...record your sound...turn the tape over and play it backwards while applying reverb...and you have "reverse reverb" or "pre-reverb"...very "heavy" in that day.

9 & 10...This is me doing another angle on the "Reverse Reverb" IDs.

12, 13 & 14...These are straight voice IDs done by Michael "The Crazy Greek" Sakellarides.  There are three of them on the track.

20...Me again with "Experienced."  I have no idea what the fx at the beginning is or why it was there.

21...This is the famous "La Bella Donna" from Jeff Clarke.  This was a clever way to suggest to the listeners that the ratings were on and we wanted them to write down KQIV...but we couldn't come right out and say it.  Jeff figured out how to do it.  And, KINK complained to ARB about this ID, saying it crossed the line.   ARB didn't buy into that argument.  KINK also complained about our slogan, "Absolutely Live, 24-Hours a Day" because they were automated more than they were live.  Nobody listened to that complaint, either.

1973  Jeff Clarke coming out of Pink Floyd and going into the Strawbs.  This was his daily sign-off...check out the "heavy" production surrounding this whole event.

wma     (1:22 - 1.28mb)

Jeff Clarke - July 10, 1973.  Jeff had just played Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way" and mixed in the instrumental portion of Sly Stone's "Sex Machine" so seamlessly it sounded like one 12-minute jam!  Jeff at his best.  Note Jeff's reference to the "KQ4est"...there was lot's of that stuff..."KQ4heads"..."KQ4skins"...and so on.  And the rap coming out of the music was Jeff at his laid-back best. (poor quality)

Roger Hunter, who provided many of the airchex on this page, calls this the "The World's Greatest Segue"...and there's no argument.  So...how do you get from the Beatles to Joe Cocker?  Jeff Clarke knew how.  Remember, this was doing without editing, nothing digital, just a couple of records on turntables and it happened live.  You won't hear Jeff's voice...just music.
