Good for you. They story I heard was he said "oatman in front" then collapsed to the floor then reach up and turned off the mic.

Way back in the day almost all tracks had a backup announcer who was there all the time.

That person would typically call the last race every day.

That's a bygone era.

I know I'm supposed to deal with it and move on. I'm still struggling with that. It's on me. I'll get there. Might have to move to Germany to completely exercise the demons.

Joe Alto called both Los Al Harness and was the long time voice of Cal Expo. You'd never find a nicer man.

He had many "catch" phrases. The ones you listed and another I flat out plagiarized and...

Alan could have been a full time announcer at many places. He wasn't as passionate about making race calling his sole career and I think he wanted to stay in Southern Ca.

I only had one "canned" phrase.

Straight & Strong

Some liked it. Some hated it....

You know very well that is being taken totally out of context and we "I thought" we had reconciled that. You said we had.

You're thinking of Alan Buchdahl. IMO he is a really good announcer. I've always thought some announcers just have a big race track feel and Alan always had that.
