Our studios were in SE Washington in the WMA bus terminal...in the spring they would paint the buses (orange and black), and the paint fumes would drift in the windows of our studios.
In 1963, we had a newsman we called MacNamara ("MacNamara here!")....helluva voice..He lived right down the street from the radio station...real name, Ted Radomski....he used to tell me about his brother who was struggling in an off Broadway show...several years later he was a superstar...the "off Broadway show was "Hair"...Ted's brother was one of the writers - Bill Rado (Radomski).
Bob Howard had a "right of first refusal" on the sale of WPGC. When the Richmonds tried to sell it to the Marriotts, he exercised it. Got a bundle. He used the money to buy WYSL and WPHD here in Buffalo in Oct '74. He asked me to moved up here and work for him. Bob sold the stations in '89 - walked with 4.3mil...he passed away 7 years ago (1993).
Re: the Bob Raleighs The "original" Bob Raleigh #1 (Rolle Ferrar) and I started at WPGC the same day in March of '63. He was working in West Palm Beach - I was in Frankfort, KY. He and I became best friends, and we still are to this day - he is my son Bill's godfather. Bob left WPGC (was forced out), went to WWDC, then WEEL in Fairfax, VA and then to WBZ in Boston. He just retired after 20 years there. I have really lost track of the other Bob Raleighs - there were several - several "Dean Griffiths", too. Last I heard, Bill Miller was in Frederick, MD at a country station.
The Cruisin' 69 tape was an actual aircheck music and all. It's a pretty amazing story of how that all came about. The only part that I had to "recreate" was the very beginning and the very end.
