It's a fact that WAEB AM 790 is the Lehigh Valley's undisputed leader of talk radio. Led by my friend, Bobby Gunther Walsh, the ratings are huge, and his listeners enjoy the topics as he whips them into a frenzy. But many of the region's Baby Boomers remember the time when WAEB was the area's leading top 40 station, playing all the hits of the time from Elvis to The Beatles.
The tradition still lives on every holiday when WAEB turns back the clock for great solid gold fun. And yes, it was fun for me to be a part of this great tradition on Labor Day Monday. It's as if it was 30 some years ago (I was only 12 at the time because I started so young in the business, well, maybe not exactly 12) and I was cranking up the hits one more time on a station that not only led the Valley, but was a leader nation-wide. It certainly was a lot of fun for me and I hope you enjoyed it. Even though I only moved about 15 feet from the Fox 1470 studio to the WAEB studio across the hall, it was like I moved back in time. Let's do it again next holiday. You can count on it.
