top radio personalities in Boston?

[The Seacoast]

My Boston nominees would include Bud Ballou, John H. Garabedian, (Uncle)
Dale, and Bruce Bradley, to name a few.

And I remember listening to him mix progressive rock and album cuts with Top
40 at little WGTR, with that primitive voicetracking that allowed either him
or Don Kelley to be on the air seven days a week. Agree, a great radio
personality, but a little too "out of the box" to become a legend rather
than a cult figure.

Regarding a previous posting: I also remember reading Paul Benzaquin's
"Holocaust" in the late '60s. That was still the title on the copy the
library had. When was it changed?
