Never got to hear too much of them growing up in Springfield, Vt. with WCFR
also on 1480.  'CFR was a daytimer, but the frequency was kind of a
graveyard channel at night.  Do have a brief aircheck of them (WSAR) from
early '70.

Actually, in those days the smaller markets were where the hits were first
played...the bigger markets kept tabs on what was happening in the
small-to-midsize markets for hits they didn't want to go out on a limb on.
