I post this primarily for the benefit of radioheads who loved Don Wade and Roma, and their long and incredible run on The Big 89, WLS. Don was an outspoken true-blue conservative who used his microphone to say what most of us would have said in his place.

But he was also a fabulously talented radio performer who achieved career success during the heyday of Top 40 personality radio, and this 86 minute tribute pays homage to his entire career, even including the previously unheard audition tape that got him hired at Music Radio WLS. A great tribute, and remembrance of the way things used to be.

RIP Don. I use to catch bits of their show on the drive to work here in DC due to the before dawn skip of WLS’s 50,000 watt signal. And listened to them when I was back in Chicago area.
