MIKE MURPHY PASSES AWAY LAST NIGHT, 9 MARCH 2011
RIP MIKE, YOU WILL BE SADLY MISSED, OLD FRIEND...
Mike Murphy, one of Kansas City's most beloved radio talk-show hosts and original founder of Kansas City's St. Patrick's Day Parade. For years, Mike entertained listeners with local chatter, featuring numerous Kansas City personalities (including myself), comedians, sports figures, entertainers, editors, writers, inventors, bartenders, city officials, you name it. Mike was quite the comedian on the air and off-the-air. His tales about Squirrel Manor were endless. His show was basically general interest without political controversy.
