enjoying the new Jerry Williams book

[kvahey@comcast.net]

The book does seem to sustain the theory that Long John Nebel was the
first to use a delay.

If also explains in detail where Mac Richmond came from and how he and
Jerry had business dealings when Mac owned an ad agency in
Philadelphia. When Jerry was fired at WIBG because of a format change
to Top 40 Mac by then had bought WMEX and offered Jerry a job.

The book describes the studio Jerry had which was used for music
performances. This was the same studio that the station landlord used
to stop by and listen to a man playing the organ and then hired him.

The landlord was Tom Yawkey and the organist was John Kiley who played
at Fenway for decades. Kiley then recommended his pal to be the PA
announcer who was one Sherman Feller.
