You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''George R.''' "'''Dick'''" '''Buckley''' (August 26, 1924 – July 22, 2010) was an American radio [[Radio personality|presenter]] who had hosted the [[jazz]] program, ''Jazz with Dick Buckley'', on [[Chicago Public Radio]].<ref name="Obituary">((cite news|title=George Buckley Obituary|url=http://legacy.suntimes.com/obituaries/chicagosuntimes/obituary.aspx?n=george-r-buckley&pid=144258315|accessdate=1 March 2016|work=Chicago Sun-Times|date=25 July 2010))</ref> His program, which was on [[WBEZ]] from 1977 through 2008, tended toward jazz of the 1930s and 1940s, or what he has called "Golden Era" jazz. In the early eighties, he also hosted a jazz program on WXFM. Buckley had previously been involved with jazz shows on [[WCPT (AM)|WAIT]], [[WNIB (defunct)|WNIB]], and [[WNTD|WAAF]]. Buckley was known for his rich [[Baritone|baritone voice]] and encyclopedic knowledge of jazz.

==Early life and career==
Dick Buckley was born in [[Decatur, Indiana]] on August 26, 1924. He grew up feeling that he was ''"the only jazz fan around."''<ref name="proquest257057652">Lloyd Sachs. (1986-02-14). ((ProQuest|257057652)) Now Buckley and jazz can bowl 'em over: [FIVE STAR SPORTS FINAL Edition] ''Chicago Sun-Times'', retrieved November 16, 2007</ref> During World War II, he trained as a [[Bombardier (aircrew)|bombardier]] in [[San Angelo, Texas]] to serve in the [[United States Army Air Forces]] (USAAF) between 1943-'46.  It was during his military career that he began his radio career.<ref name="proquest257057652"/> "Till I was 21 or 22, I wasn't aware my voice was exceptional. An Armed Forces station needed an announcer and said, `We'll give you experience.' That was the start."<ref name="Herguth">Bob Herguth. (1989-08-31). ((ProQuest|257423562)) Dick Buckley: [FIVE STAR SPORTS FINAL Edition] ''Chicago Sun-Times'', retrieved November 16, 2007</ref>

He subsequently attended [[Indiana University]] where he played [[trombone]] for the [[marching band]].<ref name="proquest257057652" /> At odds with his father, who wanted him to be an [[electrical engineer]], he enrolled in a broadcasting school and remained in broadcasting thereafter.<ref name="Herguth" />  During broadcasts, he would occasionally refer to himself as "a reformed trombonist."

For a 1989 ''[[Sun-Times]]'' article by Bob Herguth, Buckley said "I grew up with radio. It was just that my tastes progressed to jazz bands. My mother, Ella May, who's 96 and lives in Plymouth Place in [[La Grange, Illinois|La Grange]], still doesn't understand where she went wrong in my taste in music."<ref name="Herguth" />

By 1986, Buckley was hosting his Sunday noon-4pm segment on WBEZ.<ref>Ray Conniff. (2002-10-18). ((ProQuest|419786020)) Dick Buckley has hosted a jazz program on public radio's WBEZ ''Chicago Tribune'', retrieved November 16, 2007</ref>  Other jazz hosts for the station at that time were Neil Tesser and Barry Winograd, whom Buckley felt could ably and comfortably handle the playing of contemporary jazz, leaving him to play his favorites.<ref name="proquest257057652"/>

In 1988, satellite technology carried the unique voice of Buckley broadcasting live from the Chicago Jazz Fest, together with 17 other 'BEZ entities including Neil Tesser, and Richard Steele.  Those live broadcasts were made from a trailer near [[Petrillo Music Shell]], and were [[Broadcast syndication|syndicated]] to over 150 radio stations, with listeners numbering as many as 10 million, estimated.<ref>Rick Kogan. (1988-09-02).((ProQuest|282454128)) Nation Listens In To City's Jazz Glory: [Sports Final, CN Edition] ''Chicago Tribune'', retrieved November 16, 2007 ((Dead link|date=December 2011))</ref>

On 14 January 2007, Chicago Public Radio (WBEZ) made a major change to a talk, news and public affairs format, and Buckley's show was shortened from three hours to one hour, and on Sunday, 27 July 2008, he bid the airwaves farewell in his final broadcast, a two-hour special featuring guests and testimonials.<ref>July 29, 2008 [http://www.oakpark.com/News/Articles/7-29-2008/Inside-report-07%2F30%2F08/ Oak Parkers get their on-air due] ''Journal of Oak Park and River Forest'', retrieved August 3, 2008</ref>

==Death==
Buckley died on Thursday, July 22, 2010 at [[West Suburban Medical Center]] in [[Oak Park, Illinois]] from complications of [[pneumonia]]. He was 85.<ref name=Obituary /><ref name=Death>((cite news|last1=Trainor|first1=Ken|title=Dick Buckley, 85, riffed on jazz for a half century|url=http://www.oakpark.com/News/Articles/7-23-2010/Dick-Buckley,-85,-riffed-on-jazz-for-a-half-century/|accessdate=1 March 2016|work=Wednesday Journal of Oak Park and River Forest|issue=Web Extra|date=23 Jul 2010))</ref>
