2009: Commemorative Broadcast for Len Dobbin
Known as “the keeper of the flame”, Len devoted his life to listening to, photographing, writing about, and sharing jazz. Len had a run on commercial radio where he accidentally dropped the F-bomb over the air, and then ended up on CKUT as the host of Dobbin’s Den in 1995. Len scripted each show trying to extend his appreciation for the music with the respect and attention he gave to presenting it. Oliver Jones wrote the theme song to Dobbins Den. On July 17th 2009 CKUT hosted a radio wake for Len, inviting friends and past CKUT programmers, Drew Duncan and Michael Chamberlain to come to the station and share stories about Len. It was a special five hour long celebration.
