Not sure what to say?

Radio station KMOR in SLC, UT received the "Heart On My Sleeve" album in the mail back in 1966 (sic). The songs on it fit our format perfectly so all of our DJ's made sure we played it. I guess we must have stirred up some sales for it because a few months later I got a personally autographed copy from Don thanking me for my help. The LP still hangs on my wall where I show it off to anyone who visits me. Thank you, Don, for all that good music!

"sit down at the piano and don't get up....that's how you write a song"...he actually taught me how to write by applying those simple words of wisdom..

When he released his "Heart On My Sleeve" LP, a copy found it's way to my radio station, KMOR-AM in Salt Lake City. All of us at the station were familiar with most of the tracks so we played the songs on a regular basis. I guess we must have prompted some sales because a few months later, here came another copy, only this one had a very warm and personal message to me written and signed by Don. It still hangs on my wall to this day. One of my favorite memories!
