In my high school years in Arlington, MA (mid-'60s) I was a regular listener to your WBZ show and got a kick out of "sandwiches-versus-shrewsburies", Theophilus Q. Waterhouse, elephant jokes / grape jokes, funny collages with song clips (a la Dickie Goodman), live shows from Harvard dorms, and many of the other "shticks". The way you got into certain songs very seriously contrasted with all the humor. That made things even more interesting. In '63 you and Jefferson Kaye fed off each other as folk music hit its peak with better-known artists like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, and Peter, Paul, & Mary and popular (but less "household name") artists such as Richard & Mimi Farina, Dave Van Ronk, Tom Rush, and so forth. When a woman was killed in the courtyard at the Kew Gardens apartments in NYC as many watched and did nothing, I recall the launch of the "NAG" (Nightlighters Against Gutlessness) campaign. I remember you reading the "Highwayman" poem with gusto. High culture on top 40 AM radio, who'd have "thunk" it? Much different from what WMEX was up to (though they were fun in their way too). We got culture as well with Carl DeSuze and his rambling discourses on world travel, fine wines, and gardening. WBZ was quite the package back then. When the Beatles hit big at the tail end of '63 and into early '64, you and Bruce Bradley and the rest of the crew did much not only to present Beatles music and interviews but also to research much of the other music from Britain. Were it not for you guys I'm not sure that the Swingin' Blue Jeans "Hippy Hippy Shake" and Manfred Mann's "5-4-3-2-1" would have made as big a splash. I think at one point around Feb. 1964, British songs had 8 of the Top 10 slots on 'BZ with "Dawn Go Away" by the Four Seasons and "Suspicion" by Terry Stafford as the only American hold-outs. Folk music made a bit of a rebound in '65 with Simon & Garfunkel, the Byrds, and two huge albums from Bob Dylan. The Nightlight show did not miss a beat covering it all. I occasionally caught your shows on other stations since then, including WCAP now. Thanks for many years of great listening. You do belong in a DJ's hall of fame along with names like Arnie Ginsberg and Murray-the-K. Mark Connelly - Billerica, MA << I spent a lot of years on the air in Boston. Great memories.

He was only 55. When the band first came to the US in 1974, he was still with them, but even then he had terrible health problems (severe diabetes, for one, back at a time when it was much harder to take care of it than it is today) and had to drop out of the band as a result. I felt sorry to hear he was gone-- I of course keep in touch with the members of Rush, and I will always remember that era when I discovered the band-- back when a music director like me could take a chance on a new band and actually break some new music... Thing two: A very nice GM from a Spanish station in Florida called me earlier today-- he didn't know me, but saw in the R&R Directory that my company markets music software-- which it still does. But he asked me about something I couldn't help him with: MusicMaster. I haven't worked with it in ages. Is there anyone on list who could walk him through a few things-- yes he speaks good English. If you know MusicMaster and could answer a couple of his questions, contact me off-list and I'll give you his contact information. Thanks.

The Feds have fined it, threatened it with seizures, but still it goes on, occasionally to "journalistic" praise.
