WCAS Radio

Hail and farewell, John Prine. I remember hearing "Angel From Montgomery" for the first time while listening to WCAS sometime in 1975. It was Bonnie Kolok's version. I was in my car and got to my destination while it was playing. I just sat in the parking lot listening. Transfixed.

"Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go"

A brief history.

Tribute to Larry Miller Video tribute to radio DJ and professor Larry Miller, played at his retirement party at the New England Institute of Art in 2011.

Just heard that Larry Miller passed away. He worked at WCAS Radio and was the last Program Director, during which time we had the best ratings ever. He had the courage of his convictions. He once posted on the wall a list of all the stations he had been fired from or quit. We were very fortunate to have had someone of his caliber on the air. You will find some of his posts on this page.

Just found in Joan Orr's basement. Bill Staines, Harry Lipson, Bob Donlin, Joan Orr, and Dan Murphy at Passim.
