Here’s a Quick good one…. I’m not even sure where I got it from(probably from Bob Skurzewski… Thanks BOB!)… So if this appears somewhere else on-line I apologize.

Tom Shannon started in the Radio Business over 50 years ago… Though his last pit stop in Buffalo saw him spinning platters (and still contributing) at WHTT-FM… And he spent some time at WGR… He’s best known for his time at KB Radio. Tom’s first stint at WKBW was from 1958-62…. This aircheck explains (and plays) his show’s theme song, and then the big instrumental Top Ten hit “Wild Weekend,” by the Tune Rockers, which Tom adapted from the melody of that theme song. It’s from Tom’s second stint at KB… roughly 1983-86. Of partictular interest to me… Wild Weekend is the song to which my wife and I were first introduced as husand and wife at our wedding reception (Don’t tell Tommy, though… I don’t think we paid ASCAP fees.)

By the way… The above picture… Is of Tommy (4th person from left, left side of table) and Friends at the Town Casino. Why? Why not.

Tom Shannon plays Tommy Shannon Show Theme… And Wild Weekend.
