Denny

I've been in the radio industry for around 30 years. I tried to get a real job once or twice, I didn't like it. I've done about everything there is to do in this business, but I am currently the morning guy on BOB-FM, the radio voice for State Fair Community College Basketball, and do some radio sales. I also am the Host of the Dickie Doo Blues Hour..The Blues are my passion..hit me up let's talk about them sometime.

I love doing sports, but my passion is music. I can't imagine going a day without hearing music. My personal preference is Blues, Classic Rock and Classic Country. That's why BOB is perfect for me, because the music is so eclectic, like my taste.

I have been married to Jeri, my wife, for 26 years and have two gorgeous and intelligent daughters, Sara and Abby.

Denny Perkins Says Goodbye to 92.3 BOB-FM

In the late summer of 1986, my phone rang, and a voice on the other in said, "Hi Denny, my name is Herb Brandes, and I want you to come to work for my radio station." And so began my 27-year love affair with Sedalia.

The End Is Near: Why You Should Support Live, Local Music

It's hard to believe that I've been on the air here in Sedalia for the past 27 years, and come Friday morning, I'll be without a radio show for the first time in a long time. Notice I didn't say out of work, just no show. I'll talk about my future at another time. But today, I'd like to talk about music in general and live music in particular.

Remembering ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’

So some of old-timers were talking old television shows the other day, and the show 'WKRP in Cincinnati' came up. Poor Blog Boy said he never even heard of the show. To me, this explains a lot about him, and of course, I find this very sad.

Congratulations to Sedalia Bomber Turned San Francisco Giant Mike Kickham

Denny Waxes Nostalgic About his Old House

Here is another radio story for you. When I was at my first radio station, a friend and I rented a house together. In said house, we had a real nice fancy fish tank, but we had no fish. We weren't responsible enough for that, but we did have the tank and we kept it full of pretty blue water. I guess I should mention that this house was a dump! The floors slanted and the tank water levels slante

What’s the Saddest Song Ever? [SURVEY]
