excellent song choices on this station. I always love listening to w e l w when we were driving down to nashville. you could hear the station all the way to tulsa. 😮😮
Radio was so different back then. Song... announcement... commercial... song... announcement... commercial. I guess the ten-in-a-row-commercial-free hadn't been invented yet. Love the nostalgia... and the education about the history of radio.
hey Jim thanks for posting this (WNOB was THE station when I went to Gilmour in 69-70, should have received a Gold Record for the Guess Who) - also thanks for the WELW-FM Country post, haven't heard those jingles in 42 years :-D
Was living in Willard Ohio as a 2 yr old in September. Hard to believe Judy in Disguise came out around the time I was born. I enjoy these 70s radio programs.
Thanks for posting Rockford , a real treasure trove. I wonder if that Rick Nelson song in the first quarter , inspired ; Rod Stewarts You Turks , track.
Love the Stone Bowers Buick commercials featuring Tony Hatch's instrumental version of "Call Me" which actually is best appreciated by listening to it in its entirety.
Great to hear the songs that aren't represented on focus-group-driven, revisionist-history oldies radio. And where the heck did that edit of Green-Eyed Lady come from??!! Never heard that version, it's neither the LP version or the 45 edit!!
Do you have any old WKNT later WNIR from Kent, OH, WHK from Cleveland with Gary Dee and Joe Finan as well as WMMS in Cleveland too, WHBC in Canton, OH, WTIG in Massillon, OH, and WAKR and WHLO in Akron, OH? Those would be great. Thank

Celebrity deaths weren't the media obsession they are now. Rock & Roll deaths especially were only lightly touched on; Jimi, Janis, Jim Morrison weren't even mentioned in my hometown newspaper! Rock music was still thought of as kids' music, and not of interest to the adult population. Jim Croce's plane crash in 1973 got a short paragraph in the paper, and he was popular with all ages, and at the peak of his career!

The magnificent album version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"

The guy who worked with Petula Clark?
Stone Bowers was about to deal with a two-month strike of General Motors, shutting down production of all 1971 models

Man that album version is like being gently consumed by fire. And when the song hits that key change I swear I'm levitating to the heavens above.
"Green Eyed Lady" here is the radio station promo 45. Edited to keep it under 3 mins.

Was radio recordings
The day of my birth. Gosh I'm old, lol.
Awesome. I was negative 5 at this time.. 😂😂
What time should we start this playback if we wish the timechecks to be correct? I think 6-30
Was WHK still a thing at this time?

2 days after Jimi Hendrix died. He doesn't mention him or play any of his music??????
