Saturday Aircheck: WMCA's Ed Baer Summer 1964.

Ed Baer

Ed Baer (The Big Bad Bear) plays the hits on "Goodguy Radio" - WMCA 570 AM  in New York City. Ed's filling-in for B. Mitchel Reed this warm 1964 summer evening (note: the title slate in the video is incorrect. The year was 1964, not 1954).  Ed tells us that BMR will be visiting with two of the Beatles and that radio fans can greet him on his return - complete with JFK flight #. DJ's were as big as the stars they played - especially at WMCA.

Music trivia - Ed plays the top-voted hits of the night including two by the Beatles plus, the Dave Clark Five, The Tokens, Johnny Rivers and others. Diet cola's were new and exciting and there's a catchy commercial here for Coca-Cola's "Tab" soda. About 30 minutes of uncut fun - from 1964 and WMCA.
