No, Bway, it shouldn’t be.

Thanks, George. Others have told me that, too. I remember WMCA 570 AM playing cuts off albums “in orbit” as recently as June 1970 : “McCartney” and “Morrison Hotel” (Doors).

I recall WMCA 570 AM as talk radio in September 1970, now that you mention it. The only music on air then was a “sting” or sound-byte of guitar heard as they proceeded to their next news item. I remember someone calling in to report that he / she had found a rat tail in a can of food. Someone on WMCA suggested mailing it to consumer advocate Bess Myerson Grant so the appropriate action could be taken.

Thanks, George. I’m not sure I ever heard Murray The K on WMCA. I vaguely remember the change of WMCA to talk radio in the fall (?) of 1970.

Thanks, JohnG409.

I see you also took photos of the Paris Theatre. I think I saw “The Exorcist” there on 2 April 1974. I also saw “King Lear” there in late February or early March 1972.

Thanks for posting this, Bway.

You’re welcome, George Tobor. For some reason I associate Harry Harrison with WABC 770 AM. I heard Scott Muni late at night on WMCA in about 1960 or 1961, then later at night on WNEW 102.7 FM in 1968.

Brooklyn Fox, how about the Ziegfeld Theatre ?

Thanks, Brooklyn Fox. That must have been some concert. It reminds me of the rock and roll shows that used to take place at the nearby Brooklyn Paramount, which see on this fan site.

Thanks, Lost Memory. You’re welcome, George Tobor.

Thanks, MPol, and welcome to CT ! Glad you enjoyed reading all our Ridgewood stories !

Thanks, once upon a time !

THAT’S A HUNGELEITER !!!!!

My mother used to call those ten-watt bulbs in the halls of her home on Harman Street, “cutcha wukoh”, Polish for “cat’s eyes” !

Good one, Panzer65 ! Because the floors were always so sticky, then the cleaning lady wasn’t a stoop-washer !

Thanks for both posts, Lost Memory.
