Glad you enjoyed. Didn't need to do much but tee it up for Tom and didn't expect it to go an hour, but it was impossible to stop once we got going. (And it just happened that we had a number of Durkin highlight reel moments close at hand...) LINK TO ARCHIVE: http://www.thoroughbredracingradione...y=12&Itemid=35

Do know if it topped the Bobby Frankel tribute show but it was definitely in the top 3. A great hour of radio!

Michael Wrona's job calling the Santa Rosa meet ? or am I mistaken ?  BTW PB you are right in correcting my post - sorry

I haven't called at Santa Rosa, that's Wrona's gig. And pretty sure Stauffer would have zero interest in taking my job in West Virginia.

Vic Stauffer or Frank Mirahmadi would be great to have as a successor to Tom Durkin

 Sorry to go off topic, all, on the great Tom Durkins thread. Hard to believe that as he progressed in his career that he wanted to be PHIL GEORGEFF. The voice of Chicago racing way back. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Georgeff Here's a sample of his craft, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdU6A...69962C054E064C Wikipedia says that he lives in Alabama now, would be great to hear him on ATR.

It's been said that some of the most reflective moments occur when driving alone. Now I've never met Tom. But when I'm on the road and listening to live racing on XM and they switch over to Tom Durkin with the call, I feel like I'm sitting there with a very good friend, and in my experience the best race caller ever.
