I stole that line from the old WOR-FM. I have gotten about 70 hits to this journal in the last two days. Right now I am listening to Norm N Nite as he makes a guest appearance on the WCBS-FM Radio Greats show. I think I told this story to Alan, but my other radio enthusiast friends may not know this story. In June 1998, Karen, Lee and I planned a trip to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. We got to Laguardia Airport to wait for the flight and we see Norm N Nite waiting for the same plane. He was friendly and spoke to us for a few minutes.
It was a little snowy in the morning. It was only about an inch, but enough to make driving a little hazardous. I listened to the entire 2 hours of Sounds of the Sixties in one session this morning. I spoke to Roy over the phone. I have a tradition of phoning him exacting at 9 AM on Sunday mornings. He told me that he enjoyed I'm Not There. Back in the late 1960s I walked with Roy to Forest Hills High School. We talked about the WMCA and WABC surveys. He loved Motown, especially Diana Ross and the Supremes. I remember in October 1966 You Keep Me Hangin' On by the Supremes jumped from Good Guy Sureshot to #1 on the WMCA survey. He was in seventh heaven.
Getting back to today. As I have mentioned before it is always nice to have a movie multiplex in the neighborhood on bad weather days. We see the movie Beowulf. Again, nothing to get excited about.
