Where's Cary? - Dennis
On the heels of the unfortunate news that local TV station KGAN has dismissed our beloved Cary J. Hahn, many KCCK listeners expressed gratitude that they could continue to hear Cary indulge his OTHER passion, Big Band music, on his weekly show on KCCK.
Well, if you've been listening to Big Band Memories lately, you know that there is an "Iowa Traveler"- sized hole in our broadcast day. Cary has been off the air since March 21.
It has nothing, well, nothing directly to do with his departure from TV. Cary has thrown his hat in the ring for political office in Linn County. Due to federal Equal Time for candidates provisions, this requires him to take a leave of absence from his KCCK show.
Ironically, the restrictions don't apply to office holders, only candidates. So, win or lose, we expect him back on the air in a few months.
In the meantime, the very able Murray Kent will be filling both halves of Big Band Memories during Cary's leave.

Big Band Memories update-Murray
I'm Murray Kent, host and producer of part 2 of "Big Band Memories", each Sunday afternoon from 3 to 5 on (we hope) your favorite station, All That Jazz, KCCK 88.3 and 106.9 FM. (Cary J Hahn does the first half, 1 to 3.)
I will check in to give you an idea of what's coming up on my next show. Sometimes the lineup changes at the last minute...last Sunday I did an extended tribute to jazz legend Jay McShann who died on December 7th. The week before I did a two-hour remembrance of Anita O'Day.
What's coming up this Sunday? As they say in radio-land, "stay tuned." Except now you can bookmark this site to get the latest news on your favorite programs. I'd certainly encourage you to let us know your thoughts about the station and this show.
Cheers!
