Re: Thursday, July 29, 2004
HB2U, Doc! I used to have two WMCA Good guy Sweathsirts. Sadly, one of them walked out of my apartment one morning about 30 years ago, worn by a girl I chose never to call again. The only reason to call her would have been to retrieve the sweatshirt. Back then it just didn't seem worth it. The other one remains in perfect mint condition. I always thought it would be nice to have an unworn totally new WMCA Good Guy Sweatshirt. Now that it is but one year until I have two kids in college, I may just sell that other one to cover the costs of their education! Growing up in the same area, I, too, appreciate the association with 57 and Fabulous 57, the Good Guys and WMCA. But as a radio guy, you will understand (and recall all the stories we've shared about it), the 57 that comes to mind for me is the station where I did one shift back in the early 1970s, 57-WLLE. The fact that I did that shift impersonating a friend (the guy who was supposed to be on the air) who'd taken ill, and that I even fooled the jock who relieved him (and who asked if I could do his voice, and if I could, would I do his shift, too?) was supposed to be a big secret. And yet it remains one of the most vivid memories of my years working in Raleigh, NC. And a favorite story to recount. So, from a guy who remembers "putting on some deebs" as how we referred to your station from those days, BIG PHAT HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES from another veteran of Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill radio, the BP Forum, and the blogosphere!! --Dean There are responses to this message:
