    The Voice

    Big Joe Lombardi - the Voice of Cove Bulldawg Football for the past 40 years: http://www.kxxv.com/story/36841111/t...football-games

    If you never heard him announce a game you've missed a game broadcast filled with comedy. A true homer, but he tells it like it is.
    His morning show with James Harrison on the old KOOV, 103.1FM, in Cove was great. Had this clown called Lord James, a Brit, fly around in a Piper Cub describing local traffic conditions for morning commuters - "And looks like
    FM2657 around Oakalla is jammed up with two tractors". When he and Harrison announced the winner of "The Ugliest Dog in Cove" contest I was ROTFLMAO for an hour.
    Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    Dave, I had the pleasure of visiting with Joe a couple of times. He is a class act, and I really enjoyed talking with him. He seemed like the type of guy that was genuinely interested in you, and what you had to say...a really nice guy.

    Dave, i have met both he and his wife Sherri. Great people. I was having lunch one day with my wife in Grandy's of all places and we heard his distinct voice sitting behind us, i couldn't resist, had to say hello and that we enjoyed his radio show. James Harrison used to have a trivia contest every day, he would usually give away food or his famous Heimy Schnitzer Ant Farm. Great radio indeed...
