My grandfather was a disc jockey at WHOT at the same time as Boots Bell and I was wondering if you could point me in a direction of someone who may have him recorded. His name was George Barry and sometimes went by GeeBee. Any suggestions would be great!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the long delay in responding to your question. I have some brief snippets of George Barry in my collection. Unless I'm mistaken, he's heard in a WHOT aircheck from April 1, 1960. I've posted it here in the past, but it can also be found via Youtube. A search for WHOT 1960 should suffice. I also have a short recording of WRED, which were WHOT-FM's original call letters. It's from March 1971, when it was airing a country format.
