Jackson Armstrong on 1510 WMEX Boston | February, 1968
Jackson Armstrong seems to be one of airchexx.net’s favorites - his name shows up in our search page almost as frequently as Dan Ingram - and little wonder why! One of the fastest talkers ever, Armstrong has a long history of gracing radio stations with his mouth, one of them being WMEX Boston.
I found this on a tape in that large, annonymous contribution received around Christmas. I’ve been posting from this one tape for the past two weeks. There’s something like 300 more tapes like it just waiting to be discovered.
Here’s a young Jackson Armstrong with vocal cords engaged - certainly revving up WMEX - which at this time was in hot pursuit of WRKO. This aircheck literally rolls along at light speed! Listen how Armstrong plays the Rolling Stones jingle, then never misses a beat in ‘fixing’ it. You’ll also hear those custom PAMS jingle cuts exclusively for WMEX. The “Good Guys” were definitely cookin’ in Boston in ‘68!

I love the great Jackson Armstrong! I used to listen to him on WKBW out of Buffalo, New York from 1970-73, when I lived in Niagara Falls, New York.
R.I.P. Jack.
This aircheck seems off speed, but it adds to the high energy he was so good at radiating!!
