One of our Saigon Kids’ father started the Dawnbuster Show on the Armed Forces Radio Station in Saigon. It was later made famous by Robin Williams (as Adrian Cronauer) in “Good Morning, Vietnam”.
Who was this Saigon Kid?
What was the location of the first broadcasts of the show?
I certainly have the utmost respect for those handy kitchen gadgets we used to see advertised on Home Shopping Network and ‘QVC,’ but, if I’m not mistaken (and having spent 16 years in AFRTS), the name of the show was ‘Dawnbuster,’ also once hosted by Pat Sajak. (Hmmm…now if I only knew who the Saigon Kid was…) Randy
LOL … Good catch Randy!!
That dang Ba Muoi Ba will misspell words and change radio shows every time 🙂
