I remember the Cambridge Harmonica Orchestra from Charles Laquidara's Big
Mattress show in December 1982 - still got the aircheck of it, and I may
of even played it last year during my airshift at WYHI. I've been hunting
through my tapes for old Matress Michigas airchecks (70s and early 80s) of
WBCN after learning that Chuck stopped featuring it on his show.
