Lyle Granny Goose, WFEA Manchester NH August 2, 1970 (scoped) (0:21:37)

Scoped
The Andy Bologovsky Collection
… Never heard anyone whistle quite so scratchily …

[Description by Uncle Ricky. Exhibit contributed by Andy Bologovsky]Fidelity-Wise: Ouch! It’s not a good demonstration of our ability to stream hi-fi music, so the ‘scoped version is recommended. This exhibit had some technical issues, more than could be polished away in reasonable time.

The Goose is on the loose, with all the Young Americans, and he is engaged with his music. This rare recording of Lyle “Granny” Goose on WFEA in Manchester, New Hampshire features Mr. Goose as Local Newsman and Off-The-Wall Rock Music DJ. WFEA is a somewhat legendary AM station on 1370Khz way up north on the almost very-most northeast coast of the U.S.A. It ain’t Maine, but it’s our first New Hampshire Top 40 aircheck. More informed friends are welcome to COMMENT, below.

This aircheck features ABC Contemporary newscaster Scott Schurian and it’s a serious reminder of the political and social climate in the U.S.A. at the time. The exhibit concludes with Jim Nettleton and an ABC RetroRock feature.

Welcome to the new ReelRadio!

This site is now operated by the North Carolina Broadcast History Museum. 

We want to thank the board of ReelRadio, Inc. for their stewardship since the passing of the founder Richard Irwin in 2018.  It has not been easy and they have maintained the exhibits for future generations to enjoy.

I met Richard Irwin, aka Uncle Ricky, when we were freshmen at East Carolina University.  We both had worked at local stations in our hometowns.  No one was more passionate about radio, especially Top 40 radio, than my friend Richard. 

Our goals with this site are to preserve the exhibits and make them available free of charge for people to enjoy.  Over time, we hope to add some airchecks to the site.  This will not happen immediately.  Time and resources will determine the future of new exhibits. 

Many thanks to the web folks at the Beasley Media Group for countless hours of work.  Again thanks to the board members of ReelRadio, Inc. for their faith in us. 

Richard Irwin’s hope was that his site would live on long after his passing. He said, “I hope REELRADIO will survive as my contribution to the ‘radio business’. The business is allowed to forget me, but the business should never forget the great era of radio that we celebrate here”.

We remember Richard and we thank him. If you enjoy this new site, we would appreciate a contribution. We hope you enjoy the new ReelRadio!
