1700-1800 Gary Stevens show prerecorded on WMCA New
York. First show?[10]
Gary
Stevens at the first of the WMCA-AM Shows at Surf n See Club,
Seabright, NJ. Playing this evening of July 10th, 1966, but not advertised,
were the Castiles, featuring BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!
From http://www.brucebase.org.uk/gig1960.htm
Monday, July, 19th: Mr.Vick submitted
to the Postmaster-General a request for a license to install and operate two
radio transmitting stations within the UK for the public benefit and at no
public cost[11]
a very serious approach it might be, but in the
stubborn socialist politics of those days an application did not have the
slightest chance of succeeding.
The
headline became a Tory slogan.
Jack Curtiss adds: I came across this scan of an old flier put out in 1966
by the Young Conservatives that I managed to take home with me to America.
he agreed his project might have started a little
late. Bill Vick in the Times, of July 20th, 1966.

Hey incidentially Bill Berry
my Boss Buddy out there in Radio England has sent me along tons and tons of
letters all the letters you wrote in in the Beatles Boosters campaign because
as you know John... JLs remark which he made concerning religion of course
there was a lot made to do about him here in the States..And I wanna set you
guys and gals over there in England straight I wanna say first of all people
have made a big deal about Johns remark which as far as Im concerned which as
far as most intelligent people here in the States are concerned was his
business, like if wanna say it, it was cool, it was alright. There wasnt
something wrong about what he said as a matter of fact what he said had a lot
to it. But the thing is this. There are a lot of small stations, insignificant
little radio stations its hard to...because I know in England its difficult
for you to conceive the fact that there could be, you know up to 4000 radio
stations in the country and thats how maany weve got every little city has
its own, a lot of small, insignificant stations that nobody even heard of and
they went out looking for publicity, made a lot of national headlines because
the wire services and the news people are always looking for something like
that you know to get readers and what have you. The big stations..I know Im a
disc jockey here in New York I do a night show, from 7 until 11 in the evening
on WMCA which is the top station here in New York City. We play the Beatles
right through well, we didnt care and so, we sent those letters that you sent
out and they were great letters I saw some ofem and they were great letters we
sent those Beatle boosters letters down to these nowheres down south and places
like that that made a oig thing to do about Johns remark and everythings cool
and I just wanna thank you so much you guys and gals over there in England for
being so understanding and I just hope that maybe that little story is out and
just so you know, Bill Berry sent the letters over to me and we made sure they
got to the right people we put right where it was ok?

Thursday,
October 20th, 1966. Radio England.
In this report from Telegraaf for Oct.21st,
1966, an excited Jack Curtiss explained more of the coming Dutch station, which
he indicated still lacked vital points of the organization needed. Radio
Holland would still be airing the hitparade as Holland loves American and
British songs. Already Radio England drew a lot of fanmail from Holland. The
new station would be no escape from the coming MOA, but company expansion. The
broadcasting frequency was to be decided later, and the start would be in 2 or
3 weeks . With broadcasting hours 7-12 was meant Dutch time. It seems Boom Boom Brannigan had been
brought from the ship especially for the interview, saying Yeah, Yeah to the
Curtiss outline. From Hans Knots archive.

Rain on the roof
No.16 in the last Boss Fun 50
You and me and rain on the roof
Caught up in a summer shower
Dryin' while it soaks the flowers
Maybe we'll be caught for hours
Waitin' out the sun
Refrain 1:
You and me were gabbin' away
Dreamy conversation sittin' in the hay
Honey, how long was I laughing in the rain with you
'Cause I didn't feel a drop 'til the thunder
brought us to
[repeat intro]
Refrain 2:
You and me underneath the roof of tin
Pretty comfy feelin' how the rain ain't leakin' in
We can sit and dry just as long as it can pour
Cause the way it makes you look makes me hope it
rains some more

The Dutch broadcasting staff steps aboard the Olga
Patricia[38]:
Zes
weken nadat het idee was geboren voor de oprichting van een nieuwe Nederlandse
zender(radio Dolfijn) zat ik al mat mn eerste programma in de lucht. Logisch,
dat het nog niet feilloos ging.
Toen
ik 11.november 1966 aan boord van de Laisser-Faire(ons moederschip)stapte en
de studios bekeek, kreeg ik de schrik van mn leven.
Vr
me en scaakelbord met zon 32 knoppen en handels. Hoe zoe ik, ontechnisch als
ik was, die uit elkaar moeten houden?
Na
twee nachten hard oefnen had ik de meeste knoppen al onder de knie, maar de
eerste programmas verliepen toch niet geheel feilloos...
...De
verstandhouding met de Engelsen en Amerikanen aan boord is uitsteekend.
Natuurlijk zijn er weleens meningverschillen, maar die zijn er om opgelost te
wordem...
