No offense to Larry, who evolved into a very good jock over time in L.A., but this was another case of Gerry Petersen bringing in medium-market talent (Larry'd been at KRIZ in Phoenix, which was a much smaller city in '74).
Van Dyke replaced him with Bobby Ocean in May 1975.
One of my favorites from this period is Prelude's acapella cover of Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush."
"Junior's Farm" was a great McCartney rocker, but he's never seemed too fond of it. I don't think he's done it on any of his many tours. The B-side, "Sally G," was a fine country song.
Larry is one of the more successful voice over talents in LA with a lot of network credits.
