A thread for the GNT

Anybody from the Midwest remember the John Landecker Boogie Check from WLS in Chicago?I remember it as a kid in the mid seventies,listening to it late at night as the atmosphere thinned and allowed radio waves from as far as Chicago to reach me in upstate NY..there were good laughs,as the dj,John,usually one lined insults to the callers and hung up on them..so a good thread for our resident DJ..

I don't remember that one, but as a westerner I remember when I was a kid we could only listen to Wolfman Jack late at night, out of Oklahoma City. It was only rock and roll, but we liked it

I remember WLS and Chuck(?) Buell and others. We lived in Central Illinois at the time, and WLS was the rock and roll giant.

Grandma (back then, not even Ma) and I moved to SoCal, and I remember hearing ... Charlie Van Dyke? I think? ... that we used to hear on WLS and thinking, wow, these radio types move around.

That was AM, "89, WLS, Chicago...." but I don't remember the last time I've listened to an AM station.

Was he in syndication? I remember listening to his show many times in the 80s.

..."Boogie Check"?...hells yeah I remember it, and it spawned some regional rip-offs, errrr-imitators...WXIL in nearby Parkersburg, W. Va had "Uncle Dugger" who did his version of that...the Wolfman was and is a legend, plus-for Sports announcing-I will put Broadcast Hall of Famer Marty Brennaman up against any of the greats........my own hero though will always be this man.....
