Dick Biondi and Jack Armstrong weren't the only fast-talking jocks in Buffalo radio.

Shotgun Johnny Rock 'n' Roll Ringo, a.k.a. Bob Ditto, came to town about a decade after Armstrong's 1973 departure from WKBW and some two decades after Biondi left 'KB. The speedy-voiced deejay entertained in the 7 p.m.-midnight shift at WYNS for a year or so beginning in 1982. He was long gone by the time WYNS became WHTT in 1986.

Ringo also jocked at KAFY Bakersfield, Calif., WNSY Norfolk, Va., WROQ Charlotte, Va., WIKQ Chambersburg, Va., WFEC Harrisburg, Pa., WLAN Lancaster, Pa., WYCR and WQXA York, Pa., and who knows where else. If anyone knows more about him and his whereabouts, please e-mail.

Enjoy Johnny Ringo at WNYS here.
