Captain Mikey
Marion Elbridge Herrington (July 18, 1935 – November 16, 1997), (also known as Mikel Hunter Herrington), best known as Captain Mikey (and also known by the air names ''Mikel Hunter'', ''Motorcycle Mikel'', ''Lefty'', ''Hot Rocks Hunter'', and ''Oil Can Harry''), was an American disc jockey; voice-over actor, who was the national voice for Sears; and innovative radio program director, who "pioneered album-oriented rock formats at San Jose's KOME and Los Angeles' KMET",〔"KLIV Radio 1590: The Top 40 Years: San Jose, California", http://www.bayarearadio.org/audio/kliv/index.shtml〕 and was described as "one of the very best programmers in Top 40 radio as well as what we called progressive rock on FM."〔Claude Hall, "Gone and Also: A Work in Progress", http://www.firststrategy.com/claudehall1.htm〕 In October 2007 he was inducted into the San Jose Rocks Hall of Fame,〔"2007 Inductees", http://www.sanjoserocks.org/inductees.htm〕 and was inducted into the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame〔"Celebrating the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame Class of 2008!", http://www.bayarearadio.org/hof/2008/index.shtml; "Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame", http://kavasradiosoup.blogspot.com/2008/07/great-list-of-bay-area-radio-hall-of.html; Ben Fong-Torres, "Radio Waves", (7 September 2008), http://articles.sfgate.com/2008-09-07/entertainment/17161134_1_radio-waves-satellite-radio-abc-radio-s-fm〕 on October 1, 2008. Herrington inspired the fictional characters of program director Jeff Dugan in the 1978 movie ''FM'', and program director Andy Travis on the 1980s television sitcom ''WKRP in Cincinnati''.〔"Deaths", ''Billboard'' (6 December 1997):64.〕 Herrington also managed and promoted two San Jose bands: the Syndicate of Sound and People!, and produced a hit record for each of them, the Syndicate of Sound's song "Little Girl", which reached #8 on the US national charts in June 1966, and People!'s cover of the Zombies' "I Love You," which reached #14 on the Billboard charts in June 1968. Despite popular misconceptions, he has no known connection to the "Captain Mikey" of WPNR 90.7FM at Utica College who hosted shows regularly from 1995-1999, and returned to those airwaves again regularly in 2012.

Herrington was described as "a handsome guy with a very ballsy voice that women loved. Michael was about five foot ten, with brown hair, and he wore round, wireless glasses like John Lennon. ... He was strikingly handsome, with big, warm blue eyes, and when he spoke, a rich, friendly person, took command."〔Claude "Hoot" Hooten, ''Drunk & Disorderly, Again: My Name Is Hoot, I'm an Alcoholic'' (Wordclay, 2009):114.〕
