Jack Lee may be able to provide more background but Carl Como (aka
"Sweet Bippie"...hey Laugh-In was hot at the time)
was on fire on this check. I do believe this particular check is
from a weekend shift. Tight, bright and playin' the hits. The
jingles were PAMS, the Program Director was in fact George Wilson.
Carl Como later went into radio station ownership including
WYXE/WWQM-FM in Madison, WI in the mid to late 70's. What he's up to now I simply don't
know. He truly is one of the many reasons why WOKY was "Mighty" in
those days. A well produced and put together radio station top to
bottom.
I scoped this down to it's present day length with grease
pencil and razor blade in the early 80's. I no longer own the unscoped version
- that tape died a painful death not long after I
did the editing. Also, please pass along my best regards to Don
Metzger when you see him and Jack Lee as well.

Note: As with all our
aircheck exhibits, songs have been 'scoped out' so we don't go to
jail. In this aircheck, some spots were shortened. But it is
still a rare example of the wide and wonderful world of Carl Como
on the Mighty 92.
