Later, he played on a Mexican station, which is when I heard him on late night radio in the 80s. Then, he returned to L.A. radio, playing on oldies station KRLA until 1998, when the station shut down. Here's the full story: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Academy/5515/krla.html When "Huggy Boy left the building" AM radio died.
