Snagged this out of the WCAU thread which morphed into comments on the history of 102.1
The best thing he ever recorded. I was a dedicated WIOQ listener during their progressive rock days. They played everything. British Invasion, Motown, acoustic/country rock, blues, jazz, progressive rock, hard rock, folk/singer-songwriters. They just played tons of artists MMR and YSP never aired. I imagine most people were listening down at the lower end of the dial. Never could figure that out. I heard Van Halen on Q One Oh Two before my buddies heard it on MMR or YSP.
They had the best on-air staff too. (John) Harvey, David Dye, Alex Demers, Helen Leicht, Michael Tozzi, Gene Shay, Ed Sciaky, Michael Schlesinger. Always looked forward to those Best of Progressive Rock weekends. 30 to 60 minute blocks of music by a particular artist.
Now, what did I do with those albums by Baby Grand, Lake, the Sutherland Brothers, Jen Luc Ponty, Andy Pratt, Jon Butcher Axis?
