Could you make a CD available with the Animal Stories on it? It would make a great keepsake and hilarious listen to!!!!

I wish I could find a complete recording of Lar’s last show. The end was a highlight reel of his whole career and ended with the wolf howl from animal stories. Any body know where we could find it?

Sorry, I know I am a little behind – I just discovered this site recently.

I grew up near Chicago during this era and would visit the Enormous 89 as much as I could. When Uncle Lar and Snot Nosed Tommy would do the live Animal Stories at 9:45am, there would be anywhere from 30-50 people standing in the lobby watching them. Even though you only saw their backs, it was still Larry and Tommy. Occasionally Lar’ would turn towards the crowd and yell “Hello Young Americans!” into the lobby intercom.

It was the end of a great era of radio – I’m just glad I had the opportunity to see it.

Vintage Lujack. Wish he and Tommy were still on.

Being a radio purist (whatever that means) this aircheck was excellent. . . a great example of Chicago radio at its best. What can you say—it’s Larry Lujack —superb.

Would give a wounded polecat for an MP-3 of Uncle Lar’s recorded sign on the mid/late 70’s on WLS. Ended with something like.”And the light was Lujack!” Seemed like it was a couple of minutes long, maybe 60 seconds. Was great stuff!

Excellent! Took me back. Gotta get back to the ’70s, though…the REAL Larry Lujack!
