I think every engineer prob'ly clenches up when they look at Jim's pic.
Here's the rules:
Rule #1: Don't touch the mic.
Rule #2: Don't touch the mic ... ever. _________________ * * * * * * * * * *

So much respect for him among radio folk on this side of the pond. What a voice and so wickedly funny with it. But more than that, he came across as one of nature’s gentlemen. _________________ Colin Day - UK Voiceover

When I was doing radio in San Diego I spent a huge amount of my personal listening time enjoying Gary Owens in Los Angeles. He was delightful.
This bit is a classic. In radio we often had "fill in the sponsor's name radio ads" where you'd quickly read something like this generic Christmas message and drop in the client's name. No problem when it's something like a grocery store or plumbing shop. Gary didn't pre-read this one, and, well....

Next time we're together over drinks I'll tell you a few more G.O. stories.
