RIP WLNG's Paul Sidney

[RGMike]

The founder/owner/manager of the world's most wonderful oldies station died early this morning. No link (it's a pretty local-to-LawnGuyland story) but they're saluting him all day on the air and the stream is here:

Sidney started the station in 1963 and they're still going strong. Unique and one of the last remaining mom-and-pop radio stations.

Speaks to their demographic.  have you ever heard the obits called "The Irish Sports Page?"

I'm tuning in now. Wow, I feel like it's 1963.  Love the Sag Harbor Variety store commercial.  the station ID jingle w the cchorus.  awesome !
