When I was working at WHDH in 1979-80, I always listened to BZ-FM on my way
to work.  I loved the music mix-- they played some great AOR tracks that
had never quite been hits, plus some good soft rock.  I still remember they
were the only station that played "Walking in the Rain" by Flash and the
Pan (everyone else played "Hey St. Peter") and assorted under-appreciated
tracks by the Sweet and Blondie and that great song by New England "Don't
Ever Wanna Lose Ya."  I believe the music director then was the guy today
known as Ed McMahon on Kiss 108-- he was Jim McMahon back then, if I recall
correctly...
