The Jive Aces

In the wee small hours a couple of the guys from the UK's number one Jive & Swing Bands popped in. Mike often plays tracks from the 'Jive Aces' CD. Have a look at the Jive Aces website. They send out a pretty good news letter as well if you join their fan club (for free).

God Bless The USA

Mike has been hunting far and wide to acquire the music he first heard whilst in Vegas, watching the dancing waters at the Ballagio Hotel. The tune was 'God Bless The USA' by Lee Greenwood. At last he has it and it is now played as the intro the the KABC link up each week.

Christmas Countdown

For over 20 years, with the exception of the last 4, Mike has played out at Christmas Frank Kellys' version of the 12 days of Christmas. Real title 'Christmas Countdown'.The Mike Mendoza show was inundated with calls from listeners wanting Mike to play it again and where can it be obtained.

Why hasn't Mike played it for the past 4 years? Easy, the only copy he had was on reel to reel tape, these tape machines are now defunct in radio station studios.

Mike Dickin


"Words almost fail me at this time and I will be saying how I felt about Mike Dickin over the weekend.

Over the past 5/6 months, since i moved to the weekend shows I have had the pleasure of chatting with Mike for our crossovers. Every weekend I look forward to that moment and tragically that moment has been taken from me, I loved our chats both on and off air. I had the pleasure of working with Mike Dickin at LBC in the old 'Hammersmith' days, he was a real fun person who did mix with many of the others in the company, not the loner some make him out to be.

Many may not be aware that Mike had a wicked sense of humour, on one occassion he lept across the on air studio at LBC with his trousers down trying to put off Sue Lloyd as she was about to do a link, it didnt work, she did the link and didn't laugh until after the mic was switched off.

He enjoyed life to the full, played hard and worked harder. He was the true professional on air and is certainly a true legend and is a great loss to us all, not just at talkSPORT who worked with him but the listeners and more especially his family who he held so dear. My thoughts and condolances and best wishes go out to them at this tragic time."
