The jingle is from a quadrifonic album from Roger Mason. I got it from a friend when I heard it and noticed the jingle on it. Can’t think of the name of the song.

I echo Charlie’s sentiments and memories. WIOQ and its on-air staff, especially you, Harvey and David Dye, were high-water marks of Philly radio in the late 70’s and 80’s. I used to win Harvey’s morning trivia questions fairly regularly, and after a while started sending him trivia questions to use on the air. When I met him in person and introduced myself, he had, “Oh yeah, the trivia guy!” I always enjoyed The Leicht Lunch, too, and you used a few of my suggestions. But the highlight was winning the “Select-a-set” contest in 1987 and getting to guest-DJ the afternoon show with a guy named David Anderson. (remember him?) I was devastated when the station made an abrupt format change shortly after that, and my beloved DJ’s were gone. But everyone seemed to land on their feet, thank goodness. I still miss Harvey on the airwaves, but it’s a joy that you and David are still around. Rock on!

I enjoyed you and Harvey in the Morning at WIOQ. I was in a drafting and design course at Salem Community College (’72-74) and we listened in class all the way through your Lunch with the Beetles. I often wonder were Harvey is. I think he was with Nickeloden years back.
Thanks for your many years of bringing music to the tri-state area and helping define Philly radio.
