I listened to JD first on the Madison station, and then on JVL. He was one of a kind. Defintely one of the funniest entertainers with a unique style, and one of the most enjoyable disc jockeys I have had the pleasure of listening to in my 56 years in many locations in any genre. Garrison Keillor of "A Prairie Home Companion" is the only comparison I can think of to match him. He never overwhelmed the music or the listener. A lot of today's morning DJs could learn a lot from listening to tapes of JD; too many forget to concentrate on the music and fixate on their own voices and lifes.

The king of South Central country radio has passed on to the great radio station in the sky. I will miss his voice greatly. We on earth have lost an icon; the angels will definitely be smiling more often now.

On God Bless...J.D. Barber
