Our thanks to WDGY fan David Evjen for sharing this aircheck with REELRADIO.

TOP STREAM 32Kbps (10KHz) Johnny Canton, WDGY Minneapolis, April 1968 (RESTORED) (34:45) . . . Got the good word from the University of Minnesota - draft beer, not students . . . [Description by Uncle Ricky. Contributed by David Evjen] This Exhibit 'SCOPED (07:52) All-American Boss Jock and Program Director Johnny Canton was having a hoppin' jumpin' Springtime on Storz' WDGY/Minneapolis-St.Paul, in April of 1968. Contributor David Evjen did the major musical restoration for this exhibit. (REELRADIO did some tweaking and processing for online presentation.) While the (PAMS?) acapella jingles are intact, those and a Fortune Phone call is about all that survived the original 'scoping - the spots were edited, too. Canton was the PD at WDGY for several years. This aircheck is one of the few he kept. He provided it to the contributor with his permission to share with REELRADIO visitors.
