Howie Carr remembers the heyday of WBCN

[Gary's Ice Cream]

I remember when Ron Della Chiesa used to work at WBCN in the pre-rock days -
he was the host of "Candlelight & Silver" which aired around dinner
time..........He also did the intros for "Sack Theatres Midnight
Showtime......a 180-minute musical adventure into sound....presented by the
8 downtown Boston Sack Theatres....Sack Theatres bringing you the finest in
motion picture entertainment..in the most comfortable and luxurious
surroundings..."

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.
