As a general rule, I don't bother with radio station call in contests. There are just too many nuts trying to phone in whne the DJ says, the 11th call gets tickets to a concert or whatever. Alan B and I are acquainted with a contest nut from eastern Queens. Some years ago it was 7:30 AM on Sunday when I was on my way out the door to get the newspaper when Gary Clark of WCBS-FM announced a contest with a trivia question about the Temptations. I answered correctly that the song he was looking for was "I Wish it Would Rain." I won a Temptations concert video. I think it was about 2003 on a Thursday night when I was listening to Holly Levis on WCBS-FM. I phoned in and won concert tickets to the Righteous Brothers in Westbury. It turned out to be one of the last performances by Bobby Hatfield who sadly passed away a few weeks later. Back in the mid 1980s Bob Shannon and later Bobby Jay had a Tuesday night trivia contest. There were no prizes, just the satisfaction of winning. I usually had the right answer but was usually beaten out since back then I had a rotary dial phone.
