Hi Rick,

Dunno how my local paper, the Omaha World-Herald, missed this, but they 
somehow did. Legendary DJ and TV host of "Shindig!", Jimmy O'Neill, passed 
away on January 11, just three days after his 73rd birthday. During his 
early years in radio, O'Neill worked at KQV in Pittsburgh, and at KRLA and 
KFWB in Los Angeles. It was while he was at KFWB that he got his biggest 
career break, hosting "Shindig!", a musical variety show that aired on ABC 
for almost a year and a half starting in Sept. 1964. I recall hearing him in 
the mid-1970s on WOW-590 in Omaha.

73,
Rick Dau
South Omaha, Nebraska
