Nice to see you again. You may of heard by now that Ron Lundy-the longtime midday deejay on WABC from 1965 to 1982 died on Monday from a heart attack at the age of 75 at his home in Mississippi. Can you believe he's the third D.J. since last fall to die and having worked at one point at WABC? Jim Nettleton and George Michael were the others. Can you also belive that almost all the D.J.'s that worked there are dead now? Only Dan Ingram, Bruce Morrow, Herb Oscar Anderson, and Harry Harrison are the only notables still living. But why should I care? I'm not much of a WABC fan-I perfer WLS way more.
Coming soon I'll be writing about what were the greatest two station rivals in any city in the U.S. and Canada in the 60's and 70's. I like to announce that I want to start my tribute website to WLS as a music station someday. The address will be www.musicradio89.com (just as WABC's is musicradio77.com) and I have just about all the jingles and special tributes; but way behind on the airchecks. So if anyone has a rare WLS aircheck, contact me. And if anyone has a rare year-end survey to submit, tell it me too. I desperately need the KFRC year-end surveys from the 70's and 80's (1968 too) as of right now. Well I must leave now.
