WHIL and country

[Donna Halper <dlh@donnahalper.com>]

I was thumbing through an old (September 26, 1964) issue of Billboard and 
it had a story about WHIL-FM going country at night.  I was trying to 
remember which station in Boston was the first to do a country format-- I 
know that the old WBZ had country singer Bradley Kincaid doing mornings in 
the 40s and also had a female singer named "Georgia May" (or something like 
that), but was WHIL-FM's little venture into country a first for Boston?
