Asked about Naples, Florida on a ’70s TV talk show I said, “It’s like a giant Valium.”

One summer in the late 70s, I flew from Los Angeles to Naples, Florida for a a visit with my best friend, Mahlon Moore. At the time, Mahlon was the program director for Palmer Broadcasting’s WNOG AM and WCVU FM, and I was working for Norman Lear at Tandem-TAT productions.

Mahlon thought I might be an interesting guest on The Lynn Bailey Show which aired on Naples CableVision 9. (Below: Mahlon Moore, Stephen Brockelman, and Lynn Bailey.)

I’m not sure how interesting I was, but at 29 I sure owned my narrative. Mahlon recorded the show more than 40 years ago on a Sony Betamax.
