… we’ll pick ’em up, put ’em right back down …
I can’t believe this great jock hasn’t shown up here more often! Larry Morrow has been kicking around Cleveland radio for over 30 years and has made quite a name for himself. Larry arrived at WIXY in 1966 or ’67, fresh from CKLW, where he was known as “Duke Windsor.”
He became simply “The Duker” at WIXY and was one of the station’s most popular jocks. This aircheck, from March of 1967, not only shows Larry doing great teeny-bop radio, but also shows WIXY at its best – plenty of jingles, tight board, and great oldies, as this was taped during a “Super-Oldies Weekend!” This ‘check even has some complete newscasts, some with Bob Ingle reporting, who has done Cleveland news since forever!
The quality isn’t great, since this was originally taped at 1 7/8 ips and the reception was only fair, but it’s the second oldest aircheck I have of WIXY.
