Ballou left the Syracuse area for KBTR in Denver, Colorado in 1966, and in 1967 he moved to WKBW in Buffalo, New York to replace Joey Reynolds. As an April Fool"s Day stunt in 1967, Ballou hosted one shift on WPOP, trading places with another DJ for that day only.
The memories ... listening to the transistor under the pillow .. tuning WMEX-1510, WKBW-1520, WKBW-1540 ...

The Cosmonaut
and the original recordist
extend many, many thanks! :D
This tape was made by a now elderly man
while stationed at Fort Belvoir, VA in January 1968.
He thanks Channel Zero for the airing!
You made his night.
All loggings look correct to the original tape.
