Heavy on the "-ish", I guess..

Lou, at the risk of being a nitpicker, ZLX wasn't on the air in 1983, it was
still WHUE (-FM?)

After WKKT (born Jan 1985) failed (or at least appeared to fail) in late
1985, WZLX was born as "classic hits"

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) the "lost 45's" went on the air in 1988(?)
as an (at first) exclusively '70's based show. On WZLX, then on to WBOS,
WBMX and of course, now on WEGQ.

It's great having you on "The List," BarryI think that it's a great
idea that's lasted through the years because of the way you present it, not
forgetting that it's all about fun.  It truly captures the spirit of Top 40
Radio where a hard rocker can be played right next to a sappy ballad.

It's too bad that so many PDs are so afraid to carry the show.  Have you
ever thought about webcasting the show via RealAudio?
