Hey! I'm looking forward to this episode. It's right up my alley as a native New Yorker who grew up in the 70s.

I'm not sure if Mark is around today, but I'm running the show / chat this hour. Nice to see ya'll, Krys O, Scott67, Kat In Chicago, and Feldy! A nice chat group if I ever have to pick one by hand.

Do I need to post the songs in the chat as these checks play?

In the summertime, Dan would sporadically jump into a song to say "Roll your bod, Roll your bod." This was supposed to help one get a tan and avoid sunburn at the beach.

Thanks for bringing us the show, Austin!

The WABC reverb.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 8:15pm
Austin Rich:

I know it's easier said than done, but Mark has talked about having piles of airchecks... enough that he could go weekly, if he could.

Certainly, he's got fans... but I'm sure the once a month is a very manageable schedule.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:16pm
Krys O.:

Pinto!

W Trenton Vinny:

lol, that was amazing
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 8:17pm
Austin Rich:

I was gonna comment on the reverb. I have a book on radio, where they were talking about WABC having a lot of reverb on it. Was it always this thick? I sort of thought that was an artifact of the age of the aircheck.

It's very distinctive! I should look for more airchecks, because it's pretty fascinating. I can't imagine a station doing that now.

I remember in the 7th grade, our math teacher thought he was doing us a solid by playing records in class during our math quiz. I couldn't concentrate on my test! This Osmond Bros album was his pick for that day.

Oof, Mr. X

Oh no! You seem to have made out okay, in spite of not passing that 7th grade quiz. And, knowing that album seems like a good trade off.

Avatar 8:39pm
Mr. X:

1974 growing up in Coos Bay: We only tuned in to the country station, KBBR, because they had a community trading post show, where you could pick up used furniture and appliance for super cheap - which we needed for our new home. That has been pretty much my only exposure to country music radio.

Kat in Chicago:

oh thank gawd we didn't have to hear more John Denver than that
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 8:44pm

I'm thinking about adding "Suspense" to my "Dimestore Radio Theater" show. I need a good horror show, and Suspense is pretty good in that department.

Someone at House of Records used to play Frank Sinatra in the store all the time.

WNBC was always an odd station, trying to squeeze in between the hits on WABC and the Great American Songbook of WNEW
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:48pm

John Denver always reminded me of an adult version of the Brady Bunch's little cousin with the blonde hair and glasses... don't recall actor or character's name

Oliver is all I recall
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:48pm
Krys O.:

I learned a lot from listening to my older brother's albums. He is 7 years older than me. I had to learn how to put the records back in the sleeve properly so he couldn't tell that I was listening to his albums.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 8:48pm
Austin Rich:

I wonder if it was Robert from Oswald 5-0? He worked at House of Records, often spoke of wanting to bring back the style of Sinatra and "Grandpa Fashion," and he was often in charge of the stereo.

@Austin: Yeah, that's the guy. Always a shock to shop for punk rock with Sinatra in the background.

Krys O.:

Thanks again, MarkTime.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 8:51pm
Austin Rich:

Robert was great! (Now passed, RIP.) His band was amazing, and he turned me onto all sorts of stuff. And he invented the phrase, "Grandpa Punk," which led to me wearing more fedoras and suits at shows, too. What a great dude.

The Happening?

I didn't go to Catholic school, but we had catechism twice a week after school. Awful nuns. Deplorable even.

I still love the Zombies.

I just learned that Frank Devol arranged this Supremes song, The Happening.

The Zombies also seemed off to my ear.

Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 8:57pm
Kat in Chicago:

That's likely, Austin

Austin Rich:

(If it was captured with a reel-to-reel, it's likely the speed could have bee adjusted wrong, etc.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:58pm
Krys O.:

Loved the Zombies and really got into them in the late 80s. Colin Blunstone's voice was very airy.
