KGB Homegrown Albums

Everything I’m able to share, memorabilia wise, is made possible through the many connections I have made with my Chieftain friends. One day I was chatting with Dave Dempster, ’76, and out of the blue he asked if I would like to put the entire catalog of KGB Homegrown albums on my yearbook website.

It turned out that his brother, Steve Dempster, ’77, had digitally recorded all of the albums onto an mp3 format, and in the mail I not only score a fabulous memory card of San Diego themed songs, but I managed to talk Steve into lending me his ’77 Calumet.

And then one day I heard from former 102.1 KPRi Homegrown Hour host, Cathryn Beeks, who has an online radio show in paradise http://listenlocalradio.com/ and she was blown away by the appearance of all eight Homegrown albums on my little yearbook website.

Cathryn went on to share with her listeners, “Check THIS out. While searching for photos for my Homegrown Hour scrapbook I stumbled on this little beauty. All 8 of the Homegrown albums (from 73 to 83) were digitally converted by Steven Dempster CHS class of ’78 and his brother Dave (class of ’76) and posted by Erik Jacobsen, CHS Class of 1975, and the admin of “Clairemont High Calumet Yearbooks”. Ohhhh the memories! Thanks guys!” Here’s a link to Cathryn’s post
