Charles Laquidara and the founder of Rock WBCN Ray Riepen

Continuing with the one that explains the beginnings of progressive WBCN
radio and what Freeform BCN is today. This is my favorite segment
of the 4 day special because this is where we hear from Sam Kopper
1968–1973 Morning Air Talent, 1968–1970 First Program Director,
who hired JJ Jackson, Charles Laquidara, Norm Winer, Maxanne Sartori.
and the first voice of WBCN radio, Harold “Mississippi Fats” Wilson.

RockRoll360 #39 - Goodbye to WBCN  ( Part. 1 )    

Hello Everybody and welcome to a new segment I will be presenting
here on RockRoll360. It will feature segments of the last 4 days of
WBCN radio in Boston, back from Aug 8th through Aug 11th of 2009. 
This station started in March of 1969.

The first rock song they presented was “I Feel Free” by Cream.
This will be a feature present to you once in a while along with
my regular 360 Compilations. So since this is the first of the Goodbye
to WBCN podcast,  I thought I start with the end of the broadcast
which is the last half hour of WBCN. WBCN - Last commercial on BCN - 
Bradley J. signing off - and the switch to WBMX which really took
hours after the BCN sign off.

Also please note Cream & Pink Floyd were re-recorded from my collection.
Don’t worry Bradley J.  Your still segued with the last WBCN Top Of The Hour I.D.

Also first segment of this show is not from the original weekend show
which features Dwayne Glasscock & Tammi Heide ( # ) was added
by me from my old WBCN collection from the years 1977 -1988.

Next week I’ll starting from the beginning of the special weekend show.
This show has been edited down from original. One big change is no commercials
except on this one because it is the last spot BCN presented. 
It will take quite a while here on WLSO before we land back to this last show.
So if you love rock oddities, rarities, great interviews with the rock greats,
radio stories with the retired & new personal of WBCN - You’ll love this !

Please check weekly along with my Regular 360 Podcast and ENJOY
                                                             - I know I did.

It chronicles WBCN during the years 1968 and 1975, and examines the station’s role in covering and promoting the profound social, political, and cultural changes of that era.

Producers are filming the station’s final days for use in the film, and there’s more about the documentary at www.WBCNthefilm.com
