    Heading out to San Francisco 

    For the Labor Day weekend show

    I got my hush puppies on

    I guess I never was meant for that glitter rock n roll

    And honey I didn't know, that I'd be missing you so

    Since you're gone

    I took the big vacation 

    Since you're gone

    Well, never feel sedate

    Since you're gone

    Well, the moonlight ain't so great

    Since you're gone

    Well, I've thrown it all away

    Gordon Lightfoot is coming to my city in June. I've never seen him in concert before and I'm thinking of going. Has anyone here seen him in concert recently?

    I was part time but I often pulled the 10p-2a shift. I tended to play more of those nasty punk bands. 😂

     

    Tom Starr was a DJ and was the program director. Robin Sherwin, Dale-something, Jerry "Doctor Rock" Kraus played the heavy stuff. Bob London did afternoons.

     

    Peter Hirsch did weekends. I remember I did the early Saturday shift during a snowfall. Got out at 10 and Pete said let's go up to Snow Ridge in Turin. We used to get free passes there. We smoked a doob on the lift and I couldn't make it down the hill from laughing and falling so much.

     

    You never realize you are living you best life when you are.

    Best radio station ever! I worked at the Sheraton hotel and we had a transistor radio so we would listen to it while we worked. The boss didn't mind because he loved the station too. Great memories of a great time to be young.

     

    I went to the Rossington Collins concert at the Utica Auditorium. RIP Gary.

    My radio career really got started at WOUR in Utica. One of the last FM rockers where deejays still picked their own songs to play. Every band that came to play in town would drop by the studio to hang out and be interviewed.

     

    WOUR was also unique in that southern bands got a lot of airplay from this "northern" station. So we had a lot of friendly ties with groups like Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels Band, Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, etc.

     

    So of course when the Rosington-Collins band came to Utica, their first stop after soundcheck was the third floor of 288 Genesee. Sometimes they brought a little something extra with them. Let's just say the razor blades in the studio weren't just there for editing tape. 👃🌨️

     

     

     

    I listened to WOUR constantly in the late 70s through early 80s. I still remember some of the DJ names... Jerry Kraus, Robin. Andy Cleary was in my accounting class at Utica college.  I remember they had 96 cent concerts at Four Acres.  Saw some great concerts there. I even remember every night at 8:10PM they would give the upcoming concerts schedule.
