RIP: RON LUNDY

This past Monday at the age of 75. Now, there's not many of you who probably recognize the name, unless you grew up in the 60s - 70s in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut tri-state area and listened to 77WABC radio. Yeah, Ron was one of the AM radio DJs (Unle Brucie Morrow & Dan Ingram also come to mind) who played the music I grew up with, especially from 1964 - 1970. All that inane DJ patter, top 10 lists, and of course the top 100 of the year; you could send away and get a printed copy with the DJs' pictures on it. And of course mark off the 45s you'd bought for your collection.
Funny, hadn't thought of Ron in 40 years, but memories came back as soon as I saw the obit.
So I guess if there's a radio station in heaven, they'll have a new DJ;
Rock on, Ron, rock on...
