The October 5, 1987 snippet and the February 2, 1987 show. I had to edit the commercials out because the audio quality was too distorted after running noise reduction. https://youtube.com/channel/UC5zLkZ57NuCDqGgjY7Zqc-g It's been fun to listen to these. Makes me miss Boston even more. Thanks for indulging me. Pam On Tue, Aug 2, 2022 at 4:23 PM Pjries wrote: > Hi John, > Sort of.
