Well, you can buy the records, but ya can't buy the DJ's so maybe that is why all of the songs were cut out, Mark.

Rog grew up in Nashua and remembers when his dad worked at WOTW. They had a live real country band in every morning to play on air. His dad was the only one at the station who had a tape recorder; he did a "man on the street" kind of newsgathering, so had some tapes of the live music. Unfortunately, none of them exist now. The recorder was a Webcore Wire Recorder; instead of a piece of tape, it used what looked like a big roll of piano wire to record on. The national commercials and some local commericals were all on records. The station had their own machine for cutting them. Of course a lot of ads were read live, too. Ah, those old days of radio....:-)
