Bill Shapiro, Longtime Host Of KCUR's Cyprus Avenue, Dies At 82
Bill Shapiro, a Kansas City tax attorney by day who spent more than four decades hosting a Saturday-night radio program devoted to rock-and-roll, died on Tuesday. He was 82. "The name of the program is Cyprus Avenue, and I'm Bill Shapiro," he said each week in a deep, gravelly voice over the opening notes of the Van Morrison hit of the same name.
