Coyote McCloud and Clara Peller

The only problem with this aircheck is that it's too short.

Coyote McCloud opens his nighttime show on WQXI with this classic, high-energy intro to the Doobie Brothers' China Grove. We'd love to hear more, but we're thankful for even this very brief audio from the outlandish jock who has spent much of his career in Nashville at stations like WMAK, WYHY, WWKX, WZPC and WRQQ. He's also known as the guy who wrote the "Where's The Beef" theme for the famous 1984 Wendy's ad campaign featuring octogenarian actress Clara Peller.

Coyote McCloud died April 6, 2011 at the age of 68.
