WKBW.. late at night when I was supposed to be asleep. That was when the AM signal would come in loud and clear, on the transistor radio, all the way to south central PA.

Yes, I grew up in South Jersey and picked up Reynolds on WKBW when the signal came in. They he came to WIBG in Philadelphia in 1969 and did reasonably well.

A friend of mine from college who had a very successful radio career -- technically, he was Rush Limbaugh's boss for a time -- came to Seattle for the convention of the National Association of Broadcasters in 2002. We went to lunch and reminisced about Joey Reynolds. He picked up his cell phone, called a number, and I suddenly found myself talking to Reynolds himself. He and I reminisced about some of the legendary people he worked with in his Hartford years and about his two different stays in Philly.

It was an enjoyable conversation.
