He was the Dean

The Dean of Talk Radio, actually... Jerry Williams was such a beloved (and in some circles, disliked) Boston radio personality that he ended up getting his own website, jerrywilliams.org. I love the site because because it features tons and tons of audio... some of it going back to the very early days of Williams career.

I got a real nice email from Alan Tolz, who I met a few years ago at one of Len Zola's Media gang get togethers. Alan is the curator of the Jerry Williams site, and a good guy very dedicated to jerry's memory. he is co-authoring a biography of Williams that should be out next year.

If you ever want to listen to a folks doing real compelling talk radio, check out the Jerry William site, or listen to one of the airchecks of David Brudnoy or Larry Glick on this site. These guys made it good.

Searching for Charlie Quintal

My new buddy, Joe Martelle sent me an interesting plea yesterday...

"Do you have an e-mail address or phone number for Charlie Quintal. Charlie was a frequent guest on my oldies show and a good bud, whom I've lost contact with. I'd like to invite him as well. Any help, as always, is appreciated. Charlie had a regional hit with 'Take Me As I am,' that I'd feature on the Oldies Show. Folks loved the song and Charlie. I can't seem to locate him anywhere in Mass. The phone number in Carver, Ma--which is listed on the back of his CD, 'The Charlie Quintal Collection' is no longer in service. "

So, if anyone could help out... please send me an email.
