Big Jay Sorensen spoke to the gathering today
Today's oldies meet and greet brought some surprises. Jeff Scheckner and I announced the event on Facebook and Oldies Message Board. Of course, many people say they are going to be coming but something comes up and they must back out. There is certainly nothing wrong with that as emergencies always come up. Today's event was unique for people who unexpectedly came.
Jim Kerr came by toward the end of the event
Jim had attended a few of the earlier events, but this time he came unexpectedly and spoke to the group about Harry Harrison's induction last night into the Radio Hall of Fame. Getting back to Jay Sorensen; he spoke about his days at WNBC, NJ101.5, and WCBS-FM. Anita Bonita, formerly of Z100 and now with WCBS 880 came with Russ DiBello whose radio name is Famous Amos.
Bill Dillane with Louise Murray in the background
Today's event drew about 50 people which is more than have come in recent years. Many of the people from the early days (c.2006) have "moved on" but new people are coming. For the second year in a row, must of the "Survey Guys" have attended. Milton Love of the doo-wop group The Solitaires also came.
We will have it again next November.
