I preferred to do my gig with the overhead fluorescent lights on, but turning them off gave the studio a pleasant ambience.
He also had an oldies show, but the approach was completely different. While my show was fast paced, highly energetic and reminiscent of vintage Top 40 and its "forward thrust" formatics, his show was laid back and educational. After each set of tunes, he would discuss the the back-stories of the artists and songs just played. I learned a lot listening to the tales and insights he spoke about to his audience. He was an absolute font of information and fascinating trivia about 1950s, '60s and '70s music.
Yours truly deep into the radio groove inside the third floor of an anonymous nondescript brick building in Bridgeport, Connecticut. September 2005.
Doing this oldies show at WPKN-FM in Bridgeport, CT on Saturday evenings was probably the most fun thing I've ever done!
Ever since falling in love with the fast pace, tight formats and on-air personalities of classic Top-40 radio in my childhood years, I finally got my own shot it! (and it lasted for almost 19 years!).
As a weekend show, I had complete control over the contents. The show was a mix of well known tunes along with copious amounts of B-sides, as well as many album tracks which should have become hits in their time, but never did. Numerous vintage jingles and commercials from my collection copied to broadcast tape carts added to the overall recreation of the way radio used to sound.
At 10,000 watts, we were getting calls and requests from most of Connecticut, Long Island and even parts of Rhode Island and upstate New York.
A friend and fellow radio DJ and aircheck collector, Bob Gilmore, took this shot during my intro talk-up of Led Zeppelin's awesome hit "Whole Lotta Love" from the spring of 1970.

At age 9, I became totally fascinated by radio and everything to do with it. One of best stations in Connecticut was a HOT, high energy Top-40 out of New Haven. Only 1,000 watts but it sounded better than most major market stations I've ever heard and had a much broader playlist as well. (Where else could you hear "When I Die" by Motherlode, Donny Elwood's version of "Where Did Our Love Go" and "Funky Worm" by the Ohio Players on a regular basis?).
They made 77 WABC down in New York City sound like rank amateurs with its stodgy, slow format and reverb audio that was a throwback to the early 1960s. Not to mention a playlist of about 15 songs interrupted by endless commercial breaks.
WAVZ was consulted by Paul Drew, known in the industry as a total perfectionist who would call and berate the on-air jock for the slightest mistake or format deviation. The DJs were amazingly good and the locally produced commercials, station promos and contests were incredibly clever and had slick production values. "CashCade", "The Money Pool", "High Stakes", "Don't Say Hello", "The Summer Beach Patrol", "Goldfinger", "The Phrase That Pays", "Diving for Dollars", "The Tantalizer" and so many more contests in a never ending array.
I recorded hundreds of hours of their programming between 1972 and 1976 on cassettes. Fifteen years ago, I transferred all this material to CDs as a labor of love and enhanced them using Adobe Audition. This was the station that heavily influenced my decision to go into radio (at least as a weekend DJ). It's still SO cool to drive around in 2016 and listen to WAVZ from the early 1970s blasting out of my car radio. Who needs oldies stations? This is the REAL deal!
Memorial to Don Messer (1909-1973) in the village of Harvey, New Brunswick, Canada.
Don Messer (Donald Charles Frederick Messer) was an internationally renowned fiddler, born in Tweedside, New Brunswick.
As per Wikipedia:
"He began playing the violin at age five, learning fiddle tunes with Irish and Scottish influences. By the age of seven, he was playing fiddle for square dances. As a young boy, Messer would play concerts in the local area and later throughout southwestern New Brunswick.
By the time he was a young man, he had amassed a repertoire of hundreds of reels, jigs, breakdowns, and other pieces for fiddle. He was playing endless square dances, country dances, weddings, and other parties. At age 16 he moved to Boston, Massachusetts where he received his only formal instruction in music. He moved back to New Brunswick in March 1929.
He died of a heart attack in 1973 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. A monument was erected in his memory in Tweedside, New Brunswick. A fiddle also stands in Harvey, New Brunswick as a monument."
I was the last DJ at the station to still use these. They gave my oldies show a real old-school sound between tunes. Besides, it was fun to fire them off during song intros and get the "magic overlap" up to the start of the vocal that modern automation systems aren't capable of doing.
About 6 months later, I landed a permanent slot on Saturday evenings from 6 - 10pm, which lasted for 19 years until I finally resigned in 2009.
This was an absolute blast. The show simulated the format, pacing and energy of vintage Top-40 radio, specifically the Bill Drake formatted stations like KHJ in Los Angeles and CKLW in Windsor, Ontario. I used 1960s and 70s digitally remastered jingles, promos and contests from my collection and copied them to tape carts for airplay. The show also featured real vintage commercials for products which no longer existed.
As a weekend show, I had complete control over the contents. The show was a mix of well known tunes along with copious amounts of B-sides, as well as many album tracks which should have become hits in their time, but never did.
At 10,000 watts, we were getting calls and requests from most of Connecticut, Long Island and even parts of upstate New York.
Often long-distance listeners on the internet would also call in to make requests and comment on the show.
I had a key to the transmitter room and would crank the Aphex Compellor audio compressor settings WAY up to give our broadcast output that old-time sound of loudness and punchiness.
Every show was recorded on DAT or VHS-HiFi tapes and I've since remastered them to CDs for my aircheck collection at home. In fact, I'm listening to one right now as I write this!
For those familiar with the history of WPKN, Harry Minot was the General Manager of the station for decades. I found him to be personable, quirky and quite brilliant. He had a tough job dealing with the egos of many members of the air-staff in addition to the daily responsibilities of keeping a 10,000 watt station on the air.
Looking at his car, there was no doubt what station he worked for! WPKN wasn't just a gig, but a lifestyle for many people, including myself.
Since I did the Saturday evening oldies show, it was my responsibility to represent the station at this event by broadcasting my program in this tent rather than back at the station's studios in Bridgeport. This was the one time when I had to learn how to use totally unfamiliar equipment REALLY fast! In the evening, we also aired a live performance of the Tom Tom Club, a local Connecticut band which contained members from the Talking Heads.
Reminds me of the 1973 hit tune by the Three Degrees, "Armed and Extremely Dangerous!".
I've placed some Flickr notes on the photo for more details.
This is the only remaining copy of the original print. The photo and text were published in the 1979 yearbook in the section describing all the student activities which were available. I honed my radio skills at WRNU which later resulted in a 19 year weekend gig on a Connecticut 10,000 watt station.
That was a plastic pellet toy gun which was almost always present in the studio. Being young and dopey students, we used to occasionally "shoot" our fellow DJs with thin, green plastic disks when they were on the air. It was all in good fun.
I did a reall long description, but it got erased for some reason, so I'm just going to make this a little bit shorter, this is the second character from the show I made, he was definitely more difficult to add detail on, the face was the most difficult because of the small details. Sculpting the hair and painting it were hard too, but I think I got the job done well, and I messed up on the suit designs a couple of times. I like the microphone staff too, overall I think he looks great, and I'm hoping to make other characters from the series as well as Helluvah Boss.
Another JSR character, wasn't exactly the next character I planned from the game, but I didn't have parts for the female character (whose name I don't remember at the moment), so decided to try and challenge myself with this character, and he turned out better than I expected. Sculpting the hair and detailing the face were definitely the most difficult part to do.

You never knew where the Summer Fun Patrol would show up!
I saw them in person once when they stopped at the Anchor beach in Milford. The Summer Fun Patrol truck was driven that day by Brian Phoenix, one of my favorite DJs. It was extremely cool to meet him in person AND to win a New Waves Boogie Shirt as well as a large package filled with promotional photos of all the jocks!
This building was completed in the year 1958. In the same year All India Radio shifted from its old building at 1, Garstin Place, Kolkata, to this new building. The architecture is an excellent synthesis of Buddhist and Hindu Temple architecture. Akashvani Bhavan is right in front of the famous Eden Gardens on the West, on the North East is Raj Bhavan (Governor's House), on the North is the State Assembly House & on the East is the famous Octorloney Monument. Great performers both national & international have performed here. And All India Radio Kolkata have broadcast those 'Live' & recorded performances for it's innumerable devoted listeners.

"Fotot borde vara från 1956. Jag är radiotelegrafist på en tankbåt som hette Rolf Billner och var från Göteborg. Jag sitter i radiohytten och apparaterna i bakgrunden är radiosändarna med vilka jag kunde hålla kontakt med kustradiostationer runt om i världen och andra fartyg. Jag är 22 år och det är det första fartyget i handelsflottan som jag seglade med. Jag hade fått utbildningen under två år i Flottan 1953-1955 och fick telegrafistcertifikatet 1954. (By the way, det är det finaste papper jag har. Det är internationellt och är skrivet på tre språk, svenska, engelska och franska och inledes med: "Å Kungliga svenska regeringens vägnar" osv.)"
Jimmy Young was born Leslie Ronald "Jimmy" Young on 21 September 1921 in Cinderford, Gloucestershire. The son of a baker, he attended East Dean Grammar School. When his parents divorced in 1939, he left for South Wales to think about his future. While there, on 3 September 1939 when war was declared, he decided to join the Army at the large base opposite the house in which he was staying. Being a Sunday, he went in to be welcomed by the smell of warm breakfast, which he ate after declaring he wished to join. He was unaware, however, that such good food was only eaten on Sundays. When asked his age, he replied that he was 17, to which he was told to come back in three weeks at the age of 18. Jimmy then left the barracks and walked down the road to the RAF base and asked to join. After declaring himself as 18, he stayed there until 1949 with the rank of sergeant PT Instructor.
Jimmy became quite a proficient vocalist during his war service and was signed to the then new label Polygon Records in 1950, one of the label's few stars alongside another newcomer, Petula Clark. He released numerous records on the label, all conducted by Ron Goodwin, the biggest seller of which was "Too Young" (1951) a big sheet music seller in the days before the UK Singles Chart had begun. It was a cover of Nat King Cole's American recording. There were also two duets with Petula Clark that year, "Mari and l" and "Broken Heart".
In 1952 he signed a recording contract with Decca. Jimmy enjoyed Top 10 successes with "Eternally", "Chain Gang" and "More" which he beat Perry Como's U.S. original in the UK Singles Chart listings. His most successful year as a recording artist was 1955, when "Unchained Melody" from the film 'Unchained' and "The Man from Laramie" from the film of the same name were successive releases and both number one hits.
Jimmy joined the BBC as one of the first disc jockeys on BBC Radio 1, presenting the weekday mid-morning show from 1967 to 1973. In 1973 he joined BBC Radio 2, where he presented a regular programme which he referred to as 'The JY Prog', until his retirement from broadcasting at the end of 2002. He developed a popular approach to current affairs interviewing and was closely associated with Margaret Thatcher. He broadcast from around the world, including several live shows from Moscow, the first in 1977, and interviewed every British prime minister from 1964 to 2010. His theme music was "Town Talk" by Ken Woodman & His Piccadilly Brass. BFN 'Bye for now' was one of his catchphrases.
The former Radio 2 DJ described modern-day interviewers as ‘rottweilers’ but refused to directly name those who he was criticising. His comments, however, could be seen as a reference to the BBC’s most ferocious stars, including News night presenter Jeremy Paxman and Radio 4 Today programme host John Humphry's. Jimmy, who interviewed every prime minister from Harold Wilson to Tony Blair during his time on the airwaves, advised his peers to ask questions in a ‘polite voice’, saying that society is getting ‘increasingly ruder’.
He told the Radio Times: ‘My interviews were based on a very simple premise: you attract more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
Although he was offered the opportunity to present a weekend current affairs programme, he turned it down. His radio slot was taken over by the former News night presenter, Jeremy Vine. Shortly after leaving the BBC, Young wrote a newspaper column attacking his former employer for instances of "brutality", and making clear that it had not been his idea to leave.
Jimmy Young returned to BBC Radio 2 in 2011 with a special one-hour programme in celebration of his 90th birthday. Sir Jimmy Young at 90, broadcast on 20 September 2011, heard him in conversation with his friend and former sparring partner Ken Bruce, looking back over his career. In March 2012 Young returned to presenting on BBC Radio 2 after over nine years absence, when he joined Desmond Carrington on a weekly show entitled Icons of the 50's. Jimmy received an OBE in 1979, a CBE in 1993. At the beginning of 2002, he was knighted for services to broadcasting.
Jimmy Young continued to write a weekly column for the Sunday Express newspaper until he retired from this role in November 2014.
I for one will always remember his friendly banter and I treasure the 78's I have of some of his hits.

I found this book Interesting but hard going. Jimmies claim to fame was his early Pop hits the likes of 'The Man from Laramie' from 1955,'Chain Gang' of 1956 and 'More' from 1956. The first to do live interviews on the radio interceded with music. Taken over now by Jeremy Vine on Radio 2. Jimmy seems to have a phobia of being stabbed in the back during his career. But it won him a Knighthood.
