***A note to air check traders. Please do not record these air checks and try and trade. I have the original tapes many of which I recorded myself and thus the authenticity can not be in doubt and can be easily traced.
I was the “listener” on this broadcast taped at the famous yellow house on Main Street in Brampton, Ontario. John Morris was the host and I got to meet David Marsden. CFNY was transitioning from the David Pritchard era to the Spirit of Radio. Keith Elshaw was also there that night. I went to the house a few times and I think it was during this visit that David Marsden mentioned getting a call from Terry McElligott to say he missed NY. Terry M. had just moved from NY to CHUM FM that week.
The station’s format was still very eclectic, though a bit more structured than during the Pritchard era. Many of my musical selections hearkened back to the CHUM FM free form days. Please excuse some of my cringe-worthy moments but it was a thrill to be a small part of a very big station.
Mr. Morris was a very relaxed and gracious host that weeknight for the taping . The show aired the following Sunday. I had a stereo reel to reel copy which I unfortunately recorded over as I was somewhat embarrassed at my performance. All that survives is a mono cassette copy. Will upload part two in the future.
Love this. I did a show in 1977 I think and have the tape somewhere and a crappy digital transfer. Kudos on the great teansfer! What conversion program did u use?
I use audacity to transfer and in this case it was from a mono cassette recording. I had it in stereo on reel to reel but I foolishly erased that. Can you find the tape that you have of the show. I would love to hear it and maybe post it to the site.
