Uncle Johnny on WRQX “Q107″ Washington DC | December 26, 1983

So I’m thinking, maybe we should have waited till after Thanksgiving to post the Christmas holiday airchecks, no? Back to the day after Christmas, 1983 for a great, original recording of Uncle Johnny (WZOU) at play on Q107. Listen for plenty of overplayed CHR stiffs, like Shannon’s “Let The Music Play”, Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” and more… only the intros, gang, to keep us out of hot water with the copyright police.

Unique, if not plastic sounding jingles, dead segues and the talent of Uncle Johnny… A real mix of music on a station that today blandly calls itself “Mix”. In so many ways, a breath of fresh air from today’s sameness… from 1983, HitRadio Q107!

    So, it’s a quiet Wednesday afternoon. The wife is at work so I start surfing. I need to hear some airchecks. Jeezawee! My past is smacking me in the face! I’m glad the statute of limitations is up.

    Peace,

    Now that is radio! Great job by Uncle Johnny and Q107.

    You did good Uncle Johnny, thanks for “providing the entertainment”.

    Incidentally, the Billy Joel and Shannon “stiffs” were big hits at the time, going to #3 and #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart respectfully.

    Speaking of music, it was also great hearing the original intro to Naked Eyes’ hit “Always Something There To Remind Me” (the one with the cathedral bells, minus the drum machine).

    It had to have been BETTER THAN than Jack Diamond. Jack’s chosen format of laugh-at-every-word the host says, kiss every b-list interviewee’s rear-end, and feature as many bobbleheaded sidekicks to agree agree agree. “You’re right, hahaha” “WOW, Jack!” “Oh yes, absolutely! You are soooo right.”

    If Erika didn’t laugh at EVERY joke or agree with EVERY word Jack uttered the show would be less predictable, but not by much.

    The result is a morning show that’s the cotton candy of radio, only less filling. …If that’s what you’re into.
