[Description by Uncle Ricky] These very short aircheck samples are most likely from early 1966. Note the PAMS “Go-Go” jingle without the call letters. Larsh first worked at WCOG in 1962 and left for WAYS in 1965.

These very early airchecks (WAYS, 1965 and WCOG, 1966) bear witness to talents which are inborn and natural rather than developmental–it was all there, right from the very start, and it is a rare, rare trait indeed. The pure energy so evident here has remained to this day. No wonder Big Jack will forever be “Our Leader”. Thanks to Paul Allen (d. December 5, 2011.)
As of June 17, 2000, John Larsh was working as Jack Armstrong at WMQX-93.1 in Greensboro, NC. Jack Armstrong passed away March 22, 2008 at his home in North Carolina.
