Memorial Day Rewound

[Nairda]

Monday 6am to 6pm WABC returns to MusicRadio 77 with the annual Memorial Day Rewound. This year will feature the usual stuff from Ingram, Lundy, Harry and all the others which is always great to hear. In addition this year will also feature vintage 1970's air checks from current WABC morning host Don Imus when he did mornings on 66 WNBC. Many in NEPA grew up with this stuff and it will make for a great day of radio on Memorial Day.

...and it's wonderful to give thanks for no longer working in a business where every single holiday you had to leave family and picnics/dinners behind, drive out to the station, and work. You worked typically for nothing, for free, because it was just part of the deal. You'd work a holiday and get nothing in return - OK, some stations might give comp time, most did not - but you never were paid cash for it, or God forbid, OT. Sorry for the sarcasm, but as much as I love talking those good old days, working them was a whole different story.

Grumpy? Actually, no, not really, just rather glad and grateful that a three-day weekend awaits, where in radio it never did. Happy Memorial Day!

Thank God for voicetracking huh? Bet that opens up a hornets nest!
