It’s a great time to be a regular visitor to this website. We still have almost half of the Keith Newman collection to post, featuring around 100 shows between 1987 and 1990 from WPLP, WFLA, and WLS.

Not only that, but–as you’ve probably noticed–we’ve also recently been sent the collection of one Ms. Ellen Halberstadt: over 300 full-length shows from WFLA, 1996-98.

So, keep checking back. It’ll only get better from here.

In the meantime, join us here as Michael J. West blogs on ‘Dancing with the Stars’!

There were a lot of things in life Bob never had the chance to experience. One of which was a totally pimp MySpace page.

You can now find us on MySpace at:

Come on out, meet Tedd Webb, Jeffy, Don & Roma and all the other Lassiter fans just like you.

There’s free BBQ and Lassiter shows streaming 24/7.

I know that there’s a bit of unrest out there in Lassiter Land. Between the holidays and the kickstarting of the new year, George (the working girl’s favorite) and I are pretty busy people who’ve unfortunately had to defer to our jobs, families, and other basics of life. But we’ve found a temporary workaround solution that should help us get more files posted in the next few weeks.

So, while it may take just a little while longer to get started, look for a block of WPLP airchecks in the near future. Meantime we’ve posted a few news articles from Lassiter’s Chicago era. Enjoy!

George and I have received some very cool email from many of you about the Airchecks site. We’re glad to hear your feedback, and appreciate your compliments very much, but we have a small request: since we’ve switched to a blog format for this site, why not leave your thoughts here, as comments?

Don’t get us wrong, it’s great to hear from you. But what we’d like to accomplish with BobLassiterAirchecks.com, as well as providing a permanent and free library of Bob’s work, is to build a community of Lassiter fans and, perhaps, onetime associates. We’d like all of our readers, listeners, downloaders (and whatever else you get out of this site) to be a part of that community, and to participate in it by leaving your thoughts, feedback, comments, etc., here on the site.

Bob always wanted people to join in the conversation - here’s your chance!

I just wanted to give you guys a heads up on some big additions coming to BobLassiterAirchecks.com.  Our good friends Keith Newman & the General have sent in an earth shaking 200+ tape collection of Lassiter recordings dating back to the spring of 1987 at WPLP.  Needless to say, it will take some time to get it all transferred and posted, but Mike and I have set an initial goal of 5 tapes a week.  So, remember to subscribe to our RSS feed so you can stay up to date on all the latest postings.
