Every week I send my Minutia Men Co-Host Dave Stern a list from our audio archives for this week's Studio Walls feature. These are the possibilities for this week. Which one will he choose?
*October 16 is comedian Abbi Sanchez's birthday. We had Abbi on the show, and chatted about comedy.
*Former Bears great defensive lineman Steve McMichael is suffering greatly these days as he fights ALS. Today is his birthday. A few years ago we had Kevin Matthews on our show and he told us a great story about McMichael, from his football playing days.
*October 17, 1966, the Cryan Shames released their most popular album, Sugar and Spice. We talked to the man who became their lead singer. WDRV jock Bob Stroud.
*October 18 is Mike Ditka's birthday. We've had a few guests on our show that had great Ditka stories, including Howard Sudberry, Rich King, and Jim McMahon.
*October 19, 1995, Tommy Kaempfer was born. We have untold great audio from him when he was a wee lad. (AUDIO)
