… . That cat sure was psychedelic …
Of all the airchecks of Art Roberts we’ve been privileged to hear, Art sounds like he is having the most fun on this one.
It was August 1967, and this is the “old line” Gene Taylor-programmed WLS, featuring a few of the Anita Kerr jingles. There’s also a complete locally-produced newscast with Dick Harley in this evening show, as well as a headline news report and a bountiful selection of commercial announcements.
Many presentation elements were overdue for an upgrade, but the music selection is marvelously Mid-American.
And even though it sounds like there was a fan running in the studio every time Art’s microphone was on, it’s easy to hear why Roberts had such a long and successful run on this legendary radio station. He’s having fun, and so did his audience.
