[Description by Sharon Leach]
In 1983, I was vacationing in nearby Virginia Beach when I first heard Z104. A couple on the beach were playing it on their radio. I liked what I heard. That night I went to a nearby Zayre and bought a radio, since I had left mine at home, 180 miles away.
I didn’t know at that time that Z104 had made its debut not long before. I recorded Z104 right on the beach. I can still remember the sunburn I got.
In July 1984, exactly a year later, I went back to the same Virginia Beach motel. This time it rained, so no sunburn, but I did manage to get this aircheck of Z104. Only problem is, I have no idea who the DJ is! He never said his name.
