Aircheck Of The Week

 

This may be the rarest of all WNEW-FM airchecks. On a Sunday night in October, 1968, I recorded Bob & Ray's Music Factory on 102.7. Comedians Bob & Ray hosted a weekly show that blended their comedy with obscure Rock and Folk-Rock music that was obviously not chosen by Bob & Ray.
