try to remember that the move to WHDH from WBZ was Larry's choice.  the new 
WHDH management made him offer he couldn't refuse - really good money and a 
daytime shift.

yes - the true cachet of Larry's late night antics came from the bizarrely 
brilliant mix of people who contributed and could send the show in any one 
of a number of hilarious directions.  but like anyone who still enjoys doing 
radio in what might be considered one's waning years, a chance to reap a 
significant payday in a highly-coveted daypart is very much appealing.

but he's been known, of late, to pop back up with Steve on WBZ in the late 
night hours to help revisit a few of those memories, and to check on the 
cleanliness of all those Glick University t-shirts.
