Movin’ and Groovin, havin’ a ball – with Cousin Bruce.
The “Big M Theme” leads this half-hour of what was possibly the most listened-to station and personality in North America in 1963. This recording might have been made in the studio, prior to the final processing chain. It’s the only time I’ve heard WABC without the ever-present reverb  but a visitor (see Comments) says that WABC didn’t start using reverb until 1964.
I find it impossible to describe the sheer joy of what Cousin Brucie and WABC meant to me  maybe you can add a comment (below.) Otherwise, get ready for goosebumps  it’s chime time, cousins!
This classic WABC aircheck was the FIRST WABC aircheck streamed on the Internet, on June 16, 1996. And, 12 years and 6 days after the original ‘scoped version appeared at REELRADIO, we are proud to introduce contributor Jay Marks’ masterfully-restored version!
