I went to college with the legendary Jay Meyers, who is now officially a Philadelphia Broadcasting Pioneer. Jay knew everybody, even in college, and his radio career is one of the great monuments in the industry.

At one point, he was the Natinal Program Director of Clear Channel, which meant that -- technically -- he was Rush Limbaugh's boss. Of course, Jay was nowhere near the conference room when Rush's syndicator sat down to negotiate nine figure contracts with Clear Channel's upper management.

Jay was in Seattle for the National Association of Broadcasters convention, and we went out for lunch. We reminisced about the days when Joey Reynolds was working in Philadelphia, and Jay simply picked up his cell phone, called Joey and put me on the line to him. I was certainly impressed.

Jay is a consultant working out of Boca Raton these days and is doing well. He is probably still in touch with the original members of the Four Seasons.
