Tom Schnabel is considered a legend on these mean streets of Los Angeles. He's a music consultant, a historian and educator, and a curator for multiple music releases and compilations. He's been part of KCRW since 1977, and he served as the station's Music Director from 1979 to 1990.
Novena and I recently caught up with Schnabel just a few days before we started our tenure as Morning Becomes Eclectic hosts.
ANTHONY VALADEZ: Tom, I want you to take us back in time. What was LA like when you joined MBE? What did LA smell like during this time?
