New Exhibits for the Week of May 13, 2012 Introductions by Uncle Ricky.

This week, we present two superstar talents who passed through Charlotte, N.C., and BIG WAYS, where Uncle Ricky worked for a couple of weekends, once. I actually met Jack Gale but never met Jay Thomas, though I do still have a memo (somewhere) from the owner, Sis Kaplan. Those were the days.

Jack Gale, WAYS Charlotte NC August 10, 1966 (restored) Jack Gale himself contributed this one, with a note that "someone" sent it to him. It's possible this was a pre-recorded hour for some reason, but it's more likely this was a demo recording intended to introduce Jack's show to potential advertisers. Sounds like Jack's morning show! 'Scoped, also. Thank You, Jack! Jay Thomas, WXLO-FM 99X NY September 20 1976 Pt.1 An early appearance of Jay Thomas on 99X — 'Scoped and Unscoped, not bad, off-air FM with some fading. Terry Nelson is featured on promos and spots. Edward Lewis and NEWS are a major percentage of what you will hear on your New York Music and Information Station. Thanks to The Peter Kanze Collection for this one, with a second part to appear at a later date...

"... Todd (Storz) and some others were sitting around figuring out what they could do on their station and they noticed that WDSU had a program called the Top 20. And they thought if the Top 20 was successful, that the Top 40 would be even better - and that's what they said - We're going to be twice as good as WDSU 'cause we're gonna play - The Top 40." - Hon. Wm. L. Armstrong, U.S.S., Ret., Denver, Colorado from Radio's Revolution and the World's Happiest Broadcasters
