After a year or so of being a Boss Jock at CKLG, Tim left to do the 8PM to Midnight shift at CJOR playing "Progressive Rock" on a station that was playing "Middle Of The Road: music the other 20 hours of the day.
The experiment didn't last very long after new CJOR owner Jim Pattison popped in one evening and came across this long haired "hippie" surrounded by albums behind the mic. The one memory of Tim's time at CJOR that
I recall is hearing "See Emily Play" by Pink Floyd for the first time.
Years later when Tim and I worked together at CFMI, he gave me his old "CKLG Boss Jock Timothy M Burge" jacket". The jacket remains in my collection of Radio memorabilia.
R.I.P. "Nice Older Person" ...
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.
