… . . . in the home of the World Champion New York Mets . . . …
It’s October 17, 1969, and Al Brady (d. July 30, 2012, 67), is fired up over the New York Mets World Series Championship a day earlier. The wonderfully broad WOR-FM playlist in this hour includes 1969 Hitbounds as well as a 1960 Golden, and lots of great memories in-between.
Interesting commercial placement, too. The aircheck opens with a long commercial-free set, and then drops into song-spot-song for a quarter-hour. Al gets a little tongue-tied on a PSA, but overall, this is a great hour of original New York Drake radio.
There’s a movie spot for a completely forgettable film starring Patty Duke, and a friendly offer from Family Finance, Budweiser, and a major New York concert promoter.
