Does Joe Franklyn, Danny Styles, Symphony Sid or Phil Shapp plays any of
this?

AM is mono and FM is stereo - there's no quadrophonic....so you
wouldn't notice if they ever played this stuff.

Joe Franklin retired from WOR some time last year, I believe.

Danny Stiles spins records on a few pay-for-play local AM stations here
in New York.

AM is mono, so you wouldn't notice if whatever he plays is in stereo
or not. Let's see....WNYC-AM 82 and various slots on WPAT-AM 93.

Once I even heard Stiles on WRCA-AM 1330 in Waltham/Boston, Mass.

I swear he's gotta be what...about a hundred or so now? He used to be
good listening when I was a kid, but voices don't age well on the radio
and after a while, deejays should know when to pack it in and retire.

Phil Shapp... is that guy ever going to graduate from Columbia U.? That
dude's been on college station WKCR-FM since I was a 15 year
old...possibly even longer (I'm 30 now). I wonder if they pay him - so
much for student-run radio. I remember during certain shows, the
stereo generator would be turned off.

WKCR has always been an interesting one - I remember a guy they had who
would spin opera records...and he had some weird speech defect...I
think he was hard of hearing or something. Wonder what happened to
him.

Symphony Sid.....his name sounds familiar...but I don't think I've ever
heard him. Ahh well.
