Lundy passed away yesterday at the age of 75, and his death just makes you realize more and more the lack of personality on radio today. What a shame !

Thanks for posting this Steve. There’s hope for you after all.
I was partial to WMCA myself because of the longer playlist.
Rest in peace, Ron and thanks for some great radio.

@kranepool –
Ron Lundy, Chuck Taylor, the great Dan Ingram and while I was never a Brucie fan, he was there forever. Hell, I remember driving with my dad and hearing William B Williams, Clavin & Finch and the rest at WNEW.

Ah William B Williams and the Make Believe Ballroom I think everyone’s parents in NYC listened to WNEW
