As this year races to a close, does anyone have a copy of this 93 KHJ Disc Jockey Derby double album? Here's a look at our copy, with board game included inside. We love the thought that went into the artwork and industry gags.

Wishing you a Groovy Christmas, from Charlie's family to yours.

Merry Clayton with Charlie on Charlie's KHJ TV Channel 9 TV "The Groovy Show" in 1970. As you can tell, it was a Christmas show featuring Merry, who was named that because she was born on Christmas Day. Merry dueted with Mick Jagger on "Gimme Shelter" and sang backing vocals on Lynard Skynard's "Sweet Home Alabama", as well as her own solo career. (Photo-December 20, 1970)

'Tis the season to share!
Here is a Christmas Story from the Charlie Tuna family archives.

Back in 1998, Dad (Art/Charlie Tuna) wrote this story and I typeset it for him on my computer.

This simple sheet was a gift to his mom that Christmas. It's a wonderful look into his memories, motivation, inspiration, love for his mother, gratitude in his heart, and the lifelong impact that Christmas gift would have on kickstarting his dreams at age 6. Not many people I know followed their dreams with such success, tenacity, perseverance, and a bit of luck thrown in.

Finding this document and reading it again after all these years is a gift I can't help but share.

I hear his voice every day and "talk" to him still: his voice is forever in my head, on in my private playlist of his shows, bits, and content (which we will share more of soon), in our family videos, and in audio and video I come across on the Internet posted by his fans.

In this piece, I hear his voice as clear and crisp as an icy December full moon on a clear night.

Enjoy and Warm Wishes from Art’s family to yours.
—Art’s son, Daniel

KHTZ (KHITS) fans!
This 1982 gem resurfaced in the garage this morning. How many of Dad’s fans received one of these? Share yours if you have one still.

Hearing him read the Morning Wake-Up Story always made me laugh.
