New Years Eve, 1968  Oh What a Night! Big Wilson, the PD at the time, and I had huddled for weeks trying to decide what methodology should be used to end up with the “number one” record of the year at the very end of the presentation. It was a frantic time. I still don’t know if we actually hit it, or not.
That night was really a “rockin’ New Year’s Eve” and the phones were lit up like a Christmas tree. I think there was a little “bubbly” floating around. Though against company rules, I think there were lots of “guests”, too.
WPGC was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Working with Harve Moore and Bob Raleigh, Jim Collinson and Joel Denver and other greats  it just made rock ‘n’ roll and that night really special. WPGC was Top 40 at its best.
