Robert Showacre, AKA Bob Here Passes On September 5, 2013

I didn't know that Bob Here had passed a couple of weeks ago. An anonymous reader sent me a message letting me know. All of us 'HFS fans I'm sure, are saddened by the news. It goes without saying, he was one of the best DJ's the station had to offer and also later on WRNR...Our thoughts are with his friends and family.

Been thinking of Bob "Here" over the holidays. Hearing his voice on the 1986 Christmas Eve show sure brought back lots of memories for me.

In a small way, Bob Here lives on

I just found these tonight. I was able to grab the first one, but the others had expired. If you have a chance to upload them again, I'll be very grateful. Thanks, John

That was a lot of work...better get them before they expire...I doubt I would go through that again...just sayin'

This is a tremendously valuable collection. It concentrates on one artist -- announcer "Bob Here" -- and shows his evolution with WHFS and vice versa. I'm in the second tape of the 41-tape set, and it will keep me busy for a while. Thanks for the re-post!

Camarillo Brillo said...

my pleasure

gbout said...

Any Chance of re-posting the Bob Here tapes? My favorite DJ who changed my entire view of music

Mike said...

Yeah, what gbout said. Any chance?

Camarillo Brillo said...

I'll upload them, but I gotta make sure you will download them.
Too many requests to re-up a link, then they don't follow up and the link expires.

Thanks so much for the links. Does anyone know the instrumental tune that Bob played to open his show? I seem to remember him saying it was a Hawaiian Steel Pedal Guitar.

You can here the song in the following file (from the mega upload): Bob 5-30-1983-pre tape A.

Hi -- Just wanted to say, "Thanks" for the Bob Here mp3s. I'm sure you know this already but WTMD is currently (early/mid 2020) running a Weasel's Wild Weekend marathon on their second channel HD2. Twelve hours of Weasel every day! Imagine. He did a tribute to Bob Here on this show and it was wonderful. Thanks again. Kevin

What This Is All About

I've been collecting live music from various sources since the mid to late 70's. Radio shows, TV broadcasts, radio show pre-FM CD's and vinyl LP's and some trades. Most of the shows posted here, I recorded and ripped myself. I always had top of the line stereo equipment and cassette and open reel recorders for those on air broadcasts.

I've downloaded plenty of bootlegged concerts from various blogs. As a rule I will only post stuff from my collection and not what is already available out there.

I also post out of print CDs and LPs from my collection.
I will repost from my readers anything someone sends me as long as it is either out of print or something that's not from someone else's blog. If you want to share a link for a cool item on your blog, or someone else's, please feel free to post it in the comments........

Enjoy and please leave a comment and pass this blog along.

Can you believe that so many out there are starving for the old WHFS? Amazing!

If you leave a comment, how about using a nickname instead of Anonymous. At least make up something please. Thanks!

I have reconsidered my position...and will re-upload dead links, so long as you go to that particular post and make the request from the comments page...
