SAD NEWS
As The Kmenterainter goes to the web, we just learned Chart Topper and Inland Empire resident Al Wilson died on Monday.

Al, of course is best known for his number one hit "Show And Tell". Al visited KMEN many times over the years. KMEN129.COM's Harley Davidson said, "I was sad to learn of Al's death. It's been a few years since I've seen him but he was a great guy who was nice to everyone he met. He was a fixture in San Bernardino for years, playing more shows there than anyone. I'm happy we got to do some things on KMEN back in the 90's. He'd come to the station from time to time with Brenton Wood to promote a show, or just take phone calls from listeners.

I'll always remember one Sunday night I called him at home after going to a record swap meet in Pasadena. I found a copy of The Snake and wanted to tell him. Al told me Eddie Meka from Laverne and Shirley was looking for that record for some time and put me in touch with him. What I didn't tell Al was I only paid a dime for the single. It didn't matter, I gave the record to Eddie."
Al Wilson was 68 years old. Wilson was scheduled to perform at San Bernardino Valley College as part of the school's "Together" Benefit Concert on May 3 after a performance at Aquinas High School in San Bernardino. The concert will go on as planned and Wilson will be the first inductee into the school's newly established Alliance for the Arts Hall of Fame, said Craig Petinak, director of marketing and public relations for the school. More information on the concert can be obtained by calling (909) 384-8611.
