Our dear KCSB colleague, Bill “Billy Clarke” Savoy, passed away this morning. I’d just like to pass along my condolences to Bill’s family. As a wrote earlier, Bill was a tremendous part of the KCSB community. He hosted the very eclectic and outstanding KCSB music program, Music Soup, edited some episodes of KCSB’s Santa Barbara Lecture Series, and was generally one of our more dedicated volunteers. Beyond all of that, he was simply a great guy.
Goodbye, Billy Clarke. You will be missed.
I was really shocked when I heard the news this morning. As a long-time KCSB listener and a Billy Clarke fan, I am deeply saddened. I enjoyed Billy’s various music programs. In addition to blues, he was one of the few KCSB deejays to play country music. He also did a fun Heavy Metal program once in a while. Even when I didn’t get into the music, I always enjoyed Billy’s voice and personality. Oh yeah, and the silly movie reviews. Well, here’s three big stars for Billy Clarke. RIP.
