Scott -- yep, back when "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" was first a single, J.P. played it. The afternoon host was Jimmy Launce, but for jazz I was thinking more along the lines of the Jack Harris Open House Show. My mom was a nightclub singer in the late 50s and early-to-mid 60s, and she was on that show a couple of times, and I even got to sing with her once. (Couldn't tell you a thing about it -- I was seven at the time.)

And Karl Haas' Adventures In Good Music, and Mike Whorf's Kaleidoscope, and Jay Roberts' Night Flight 760 (which became Night Flight 76 after the Bicentennial), and Tiger Baseball, and and and....

And you and John are correct -- CKLW was the other really amazing station in town. All that Forbidden Rock And Roll, Some Of It Sung By Black People. Amazing stuff.

(John, I think I know why you could get CKLW from where you are: there simply weren't as many interfering signals back then. I went to Toronto with my dad in 1972, and we could pick up WJR just fine.

(And, I don't want to talk about CBC2's format change. Except to agree with you. Stupid, stupid, stupid.)

Best,
Tom Smith
