… . . . How can I miss you if you won’t go away? . . . …
[Description by Uncle Ricky] One short year after this October 8, 1965 aircheck, John Larsh was working at WIXY in Cleveland as Jackson Armstrong.
Program director Jack Gale must have had some influence on the then 18-year-old Larsh, who is heard using many of the sustaining character drop-ins and sound effects that Gale used on his morning show. In fact, he appears to use as many as he likes, frequently and with sparse restraint!
This is fairly early BIG WAYS. Stan Kaplan hired Gale in the Spring of 1965. Larsh was the “original” overnight guy.
Jack Armstrong passed away March 22, 2008 at his home in North Carolina.
