I tuned in almost every weekend,to enjoy 20th and 21st classical music, his show was one of the few that you could hear Frank Zappa's music on the radio Jim? who will carry on with a modern music show.

Lit I love summer nights !

YO FUI AHÍ!

Please like, if you enjoy reading in this video. ❤

I just bought one of these on sale at Lowes for $299, its a great basic lawn mower with FWD. After reading the comments here and elsewhere: if you are such a weak handy person that you can't be bothered to look at the bottom side to see the handle bars are in their lowered shipping position, then you deserve to be frustrated. The enclosed instructions clearly say that the handlebars have to be raised from the shipping position before the engine can be started. Or if you don't like reading instructions, just turn the mower on its side and you will see the handlebars in their lowered position will keep the blade locked in place.

You should become a priest

You have the perfect channel name...Trash.

A waste

Take the 2, catch the view.

What a waste of 1:01 minutes…

What was the point of this video?? Boring

Pull handle s

You drove past the site where the plant once stood. So, there was no plant to drive past.

Instructions were unclear. I ended up banging my mower with a hammer and elbow dropping on it 15X Now it works great. After I get my hard cast removed I will mow my lawn. You're welcome. No autographs, today.

Mannnn when they hit at 3:30 ....

i remember this advertisement would play every 10 minutes on the radio lol. such a weird part of my childhood.

i miss Jim's voice and this song. this song kind of sucks after 2 minutes though. don't know why the composer ruined it.

Man, i love this song, try to listen to it every day, but not after 2:00. it sucks and spoils everything. i only try to listen to the first part and the last.

Oh wow that is cool

was very nostaligic of this. Thanks for sharing

time to sell the horn

That is NOT a Chinese flag being raised. It is the flag of Taiwan! Cripes!

I loved this man's broadcast. Many nights, I would drive around just to listen to Jim. He used silent pauses with mastery. His knowledge of the real-life stories behind the music was enchanting. & his voice was as comforting as a warm blanket on a cold night. He is dearly missed by me. I hope he sees this & knows how much he was treasured. 🙏

Trop beau ce morceau m a fait voyager....Merci ❤

Sounds like shit I have the same mower and mine doesn't sound that ruff

To much oil

No choke

Jim was a know it all who really knew it all😆

So this is the only place where I can find Jim Svejda? What about sound quality??

Entire set solo?

Wow the nostalgia... I remember listening to his show almost every night when I was a kid around 2010 and used to live in California. Had almost completely forgotten about this and recently was going through my childhood hard drive and found a really poor quality recording of that intro music and I'm glad I came across this to hear it in higher quality.

What do you make in your shop

Just isn't the same now with him gone from radio. One of the iconic voices of SoCal, kinda like Huell Howser.

For those of you cant start it, look under the mower, there should be two handle things, you have to pull those out to get it to start

Dude you didn’t show if you pulled either of the handles or not

GOLD.

Mine won’t start lots of resistance???

Im soo happy to find this. I miss his 7pm show so much. Beautiful view also.

Wow

These guys have what is known as 'autism'

Garbage company

I miss driving around and seeing the s clock at 6:58 and thinking, perfect timing!

I can’t get this song out of my head.

This is why you buy toro or Honda

i sit down in bed sometimes for hours on end and cry knowing i will never hear that into again live...in fact i might commit hara kiri becuase of this

Can you slow the walking speed on this mower?

The name of the school is Christopher Columbus Middle School

I don't know what U think U R showing people 🤔 U basically R in Sun Valley or Sylmar more than North Hollywood.

Taiwan belongs to China 🇨🇳🇹🇼🇨🇳🇹🇼❤️

Thanks so much for posting this. I hadn't thought about Jim in years, but for a brief formative time, he played an important role in my life. I was 16 in 1974, he would have been about 26, when I met him at WONO in Syracuse NY. As he had not long before, I was starting as a fill-in DJ. He was already a Voice, a Force, an Exemplar of what a radio music host could be. And what a marvelous opportunity: a shoe-string "underground" station that took the music, and certainly itself, very very seriously. Radio mattered! Thanks to PD Henry Fogel, figures like Jim got their start and veterans found a home, all too briefly. It would be interesting to trace all the cultural influences and riches that came of that crew and the dusty funky gasoline alley hand-to-mouth poverty of WONO; rich soil vs. the dead growth-medium that much of arts radio became. I remember Jim as somewhat imperious, proud, conceited, and to me frighteningly erudite. Just what I aspired to be! I was way out of my depth, but Henry gave me a shot and Jim gave me the light, which I eventually followed, in a small way. Don't know what would have become of me without those men and that scene. I can never thank them enough.
