Howie Carr remembers the heyday of WBCN

[Ted Larsen]

I can remember 'BCN before it's "heyday," when it was all classical....The 
Boston Concert Network as I remember. Believe it had an affiliation with 
WQXR in NYC. It was on Newbury Street then.

I was a student at BU's college of Basic Studies on Boylston St. behind the 
BPL before its expansion and always had lunch at Shariff's Cafeteria, 'BCN 
was upstairs. Being as "radio nut' even then my friends and I often visited 
& probably drove Ron Della Chiesa crazy.

Howie Carr column remembering the heyday of WBCN. The Herald site also has a 
photo gallery of WBCN at that
time. I remember the press kit bit about Duane Glascock; I was in high 
school and wrote away to them as part
of a project.
