50 YEARS AGO: SCOTT REGEN SIGNED ON ‘KEENER 13’!
Scott Regen, thank you for those WONDERFUL ’60s WKNR memories you gave us all in Detroit. More than just a phenomenon . . . you took all of us “along for the ride” during those years when you were on the radio, here, in Motown — “Keener 13.”
A MCRFB Note: I heard from WKNR great Paul Cannon, who kindly pointed out (June 6) the Scott Regen photo first published here was “displayed” incorrectly. Per Paul’s suggestion, I flipped the photo over to reflect the true positioning of Scott Regen, inside the WKNR AM studio, as it actually was looking from where the picture was taken initially. Thank you, Paul Cannon, I have made the proper correction now shown above. –J.F.
