Larry Glick WBZ July 4, 1978 (Pt2)
Update: 2018-09-02
Description
We pick up where we left off with Larry's show early on July 4th, 1978. Time check: Twenty-One before Two on this Fourth of July. Gus from Brockton, Ma. calls with a few funny observations on left-over baloney! Larry and Gus talk about professional pool and Willie Mosconi vs. Minnesota Fats. Larry reminisces about an interview he did with Minnesota Fats. Gus asks Larry to play Rick Tinnery and Scollay Square. Larry obliges. Some station fading and a station ID from KDKA Pittsburgh is heard co-channel.
Next call is Ken who asks Larry if he heard of a black box that fell from the sky last winter. Larry says no, he doesn't know about it. Ken asks if Larry believes in UFO's. Larry says he does not.
Next caller is Jacques from Linwood, Ma. Some significant signal fading is occurring and another signal perhaps KDKA comes and goes with the WBZ signal. This was a rather common while listening to the AM broadcast band with signals that were hundreds of miles away. When the WBZ signal returns Larry is talking with Jacques about UFO's and little green men. Larry tells Muck to call someone at Patterson Air Force Base to ask about a UFO crash and the little green men.
Commercials.
News at 2 AM (co-channel fading and a KDKA, a Group-W Westinghouse station ID is heard). An interesting news segment regarding The Supreme Courts ruling concerning The 7 Dirty Words that George Carlin made famous with a comment from Carlin himself. For a period the listener can hear the same network news but with a second or two delay. The was no doubt due to the co-channel signal fading occurring that night. A news comment regarding pictures of women found in the motel suite of actor Bob Crane who was murdered five days earlier.
Larry reads the weather and dates the program Tuesday July 4th. Ace Glick reads the sports scores.
