Abstract |
Farr (b.1939) was born in Taylor, Utah. The family moved to Nyssa, Oregon, in 1955. He had a first class license at 16. Gordan Kapps "took a chance" on him, and started him in the radio business in 1957. His first job was at KSRV, Ontario, Oregon. Stations he worked for included KKOG, Ogden; KLO, Ogden; KBUH for Art Fishler; KVOG-TV, Ogden, for Art Webb; KLGN with John Hart in Logan; and KIFI in Idaho Falls, where he worked with Phil Riesen. Farr went to Lodi Lake, California at KCVR (KEEN/KBAY) in 1968, and did ten years of "The Coffee Club," in Sacramento. He also worked for the Oakland A's sales office in San Francisco. Farr lists many famous people he has interviewed. Interviewers: Greg Thompson and Tim Larson |
