So many of the great New York City DJ's have passed now, including Dan Ingram, who meant something special to me.
And then, there was Harry Harrison, the voice of the morning.
Harry Harrison was our Morning Mayor and one of the "Good Guys". He reigned on three New York City radio stations: WMCA (starting in 1959), WABC (starting in 1968) and WCBS-FM (starting in 1980 and retiring in 2003, when the station changed format). He was on New York City radio for over 40 years..
In 2004 he returned to WCBS-FM for another eight months.
He started in radio at Chicago, moved to Peoria, and was then invited to WMCA in 1959.
Some memories of Harry Harrison.
May You Always (a New Year greeting).
"Every brand new day should be unwrapped like a precious gift."
How true.
We'll miss you, Harry. You were a Good Guy.
Rest In Peace, Harry.
ReplyDeletePeoria? Really? I have family in Peoria.
ReplyDeleteI love when you introduce me to new people. Clearly he was a good guy, sad loss.
ReplyDeleteNow the voice of the morning on the other side!
ReplyDeleteLoved this, Alana!
Never knew the guy. One WNEW-FM came on line, there was only one radio station that I needed. (OK- occasionally, my old favorite rock station- now exclusively new- 1010 WINS NY- might have a few seconds of aural fame.)
