Hannity and Colmes

[The Seacoast]

Hi Dan:

I don't remember "Speed" on WEZE.  As I recall 1260 was known as "The
Wonderful World of Music", when I was in my early teens.  At that time, I
was still into WMEX, and to a lesser degree WRKO.

By the time I started listening to WEZE, they were a Top 40/Oldies hybrid of
some sort.  I think the line-up was Alan Colmes, Bill Lowell, Steve Hunter,
Keith Simmons (Ron Dryer), and Bob Stuart. (Other than Colmes and Stuart, I
don't exactly recall the jock shifts.) I know a few of the jocks changed
during the era.  Chip Hobart was in their somewhere, as was Neil Gran
(Cannon).

What about "Speed" Anderson overnights on WEZE? I don't know that I
ever knew "Speed's" first name but he played great jazz (at least the
kind of jazz I enjoy; a lot of people probably think it doesn't
qualify for the name jazz). Given the current connotation of the word
speed, I suspect that if Anderson were alive today and working in
radio (he probably isn't; he didn't seem especially young in those
days and that was more than 30 years ago), he almost surely would have
needed some nickname other than Speed--or Easy Speed as he sometimes
called himself.

Let's not forget the LOCAL and LIVE overnights stations all had:  WEZE
had
Bob Stuart with Music/Talk (I would drive by and wave to him at the
Statler
Hotel studio window), Leslie Palmiter (sp?) on WCOZ, and my all time
favorite overnight host: the one and only Larry Glick!
