BoogieCheck Caller: "...uh hey John...uh..I don't know what to say".
Landecker: "Well, you could work mornings here".
Just relax, be yourself and have fun. You'll sound great. That's what I learned from John Landecker.
I have seen other youtube pieces of John working in Studio A but this one was all new to me. Thanks very much for putting it up here.
BTW, by matching the Billy Carter news item date, this was filmed on the evening of Tuesday, Dec. 7, 1976; just so you can ask yourself where was I and what was I doing at the time.
I was working the same evening show in Winnipeg where, most nights, I could pick up John and WLS quite clearly.
The "Fred" referred to as "the new competition on WMAQ" would be Fred Winston who had been fired from WLS earlier that year and resurfaced at WMAQ playing country; hence John's "Waylon Jennings" reference.
"You don't know man! I was in radio man! I've seen things you wouldn't believe!"
