Symphoney Sid

[Donna Halper]

Symphony Sid had a long and at times controversial career in radio, both 
in New York and in Boston.  Here in Boston, you are correct in noting 
that he worked for WBMS; he also worked for WCOP.  (He broadcast live 
from Boston jazz and R&B clubs like the Hi-Hat.) In New York, his 
stations included WHOM (Jersey City NJ), WWRL, WMCA, and later WEVD.  
And yes, circa 1961-1962, he was indeed at station WADO.  And I agree 
with you-- I've never actually heard one of his airchecks, though there 
are a number of newspaper and magazine articles about him.
