RockRoll360 #141 - Goodbye to WBCN (Part.40)

Amy Brooks & Hardy 

For you people that’s been looking for more sound clips
of WBCN besides the 4-Day Special.
Well I have to say you hit paydirt here,
and it’s a long one. ( 73 Minutes )
We are going to listen to 3 out of 4 phases of WBCN.

The first section is with Charles “Very Laidback” Laquidara
playing pretty things with great vintage BCN commercials,
from back in 1970. Songs have been re-recorded to
give you the best possible sound.

2nd section is from the 80’s in which Charles gives us
a Mattress Milestone. I happen to be in the studio that
day with Charles and requested that song by People
in 1983. We argue on who did that song originally.
He said The Zombies and I said People.
He was right. What I can’t believe is that I never heard it
by the Zombies until that year. In my defense the Zombies
did not chart with that single but People did.

Section with The Byrds is from 1986, during WBCN’s
28th Birthday Show.
And of course we move to 2009 during the 4-Day closing
celebration show with Hardy & guest. 

I also want to say Thanks for the compliments
I been getting from BCN fans and BCN’s Alumni’s 
for putting this all together and on the web. It’s
the least I can do for a station along with
WBRU in Providence, WNEW in New York and WMMR
in Philly that actually shape my life is some ways.

Enjoy and Rock On.
