Hey Scott! I really really love the radio website! The time you took to build it was painstaking, I'm sure, but well worth it for us old timers! I was only able to glance at it for about 1/2 hour-can't wait to dive into it. Footnote: I had the privilege of working with Jerry Mitchell @ WYLL- he was a former newsman for WLS when they were still a farm station, and the gentleman had plenty of stories to tell- we lost him in 2000, sad to say. Have a great day-you've made mine with this website! -Larry Riggs,

Scott, I just wanted to say thanks for the effort you have put into keeping alive the memory of the nation's greatest radio station. I can tell you that you have devoted more effort to keeping the faith than a lot of the programmers who were "in charge" of the place over the years. It was quite an experience working at the Rock and WDAI-WLS-FM. It was a responsibility I never took lightly. Thanks again for your work.
Just Me,

Hi, I'm 49 years old. listened to WLS as a kid, teen-ager,etc. A lot of memories. Grew up in Braidwood, Illinois. Remembered Dick Biondi coming to some of our sock hops in the 60's. Sang with him on stage a few times. he came out on the dance floor, danced with us, talked to us. Just soooo many good-old memories with him and all the WLS jockeys. Thanks for all the good-old memories WLS!! -Kathi

I am a big fan of BIG 89 and Super CFL. Do you have info on where to get CD quality jingles? Thanks and keep up the awesome work.
-Rick Block Rick, WLS and other great station jingles are available from KenR Productions as well as from JAM Creative Productions. ~Scott

Just wanted to let you know that Tiny Stokes of the Buccaneers is my Uncle. I use to listen to him sing all the time when I was young. He sang "Beyond the Sunset" at my mom's funeral. The last time I saw him was 4 or 5 years ago at my sisters funeral. -Wayne M. Rupard

Hi Scott, Great site, but difficult to believe there's no tape of Steve Lundy available. Do you know anyone that has an aircheck of him on WLS? A "tough one to find" is an understatement. There's zero out there of Lundy on WLS amongst collecters. I've been searching long & hard. Outside of a couple of short breaks -- the ones one on the Reelradio composites, I have a couple other breaks on WLS that I recorded myself way back when (along with Gary Gears, and a beautiful quality 60 min Landecker). Even though there are other airchecks of him on other stations available -- there was nothing like Steve Lundy on WLS. I'm thinking the only untapped source of him is from the general public in the Chicago area. In this regard, would you consider placing an appeal to the browsers on your site to come forth if they have some early seventies tapes in their house. I don't know if you feel strongly enough about this to proceed this way but I know this is truly a rare situation -- I don't know of any similar situation where there's not a single aircheck available of a major performer at a big league station. Lundy was hitting on all cylinders in Chicago at a time when the Big 89 was also hitting a peak. There may have been other rockers as good -- but no one better. No Lundy on WLS -- absolutly outrageous! I know you loved WLS the way I did. I think you may be the only one who can help in a significant way beyond this point. Thanks Scott. I'm frustrated ...Wayne McAteer Wayne, Let's see what our great audience can come up with. Any Steve Lundy airchecks out there? Email thoughts@wlsfanmail.com .

Scott:
Kudos to you for your hard work assembling and maintaining this excellent tribute to WLS! I grew up in Chicago during the tail end of Musicradio (the 80's) and your content brings back some great memories. Mr. McAteer can find an aircheck of Steve Lundy for 10/19/1970 with a duration of 30:05 at this Live365 station dedicated to old WLS airchecks: http://www.live365.com/stations/174456 Keep up the great work! Regards,
