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. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes with a lot of songs by a lot of bands. Well now that they are all back together, there is a choir of angels right now, all screaming Free Bird, with a bunch of chick angels sitting onthe shoulders of the male angels.

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.
