Jim Connors was one of the more fun Jocks at WMEX.  He used to do this
"thing" to songs with long fades during his morning shows, usually just
before news...  He would extend the endings by slipping back into the
beginnig of the long fade.  Being so early in the morning, I used to just
pass it off as a possible "long version."  But once, or twice, he'd miss it
by just a bit, and I was onto him.  I can specifically remember him doing
this to the song "I've Found Someone of My Own," by Free Movement in 1971.
