Hey Dime Members,

While i was digging around in my old tape vault (or what's left of it) i found an old box full of Interviews.
They are from all the different decades, 70's, 80's, 90's etc...
Some are private interviews done by phone or in person, some are FM broadcasts,
while still others are from syndicated radio shows like "Rockline", etc...
So sit back and enjoy a brief series of interviews i have to share with you.
I will likely upload these at night to give the nostalgic feeling of listening to late night radio.
So next is;

*WMMR (93.3 FM) is a commercial, active rock radio station licensed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that serves the Delaware Valley.
Owned by Greater Media, WMMR is the home of Preston and Steve and radio personality Pierre Robert, and currently serves as the Philadelphia affiliate for The House of Hair with Dee Snider.
The WMMR studios are located in Bala Cynwyd, while the station transmitter resides atop One Liberty Place.
WIP-FM was the initial broadcaster at this frequency, starting on April 20, 1942. It simulcast its parent WIP (AM)'s programming, which was middle of the road (MOR) music.
The station changed its call letters to WMMR sometime around 1966; they signified the station's owner, MetroMedia Radio.
The WMMR call sign had previously belonged to a student radio station at the University of Minnesota.
The MOR format was still being used, but with different programming than the AM side, although the AM disc jockeys' announcements were used for both stations.
Beginning in 1968, WMMR began adopting a progressive rock format, similar to that of several Metromedia-owned stations including New York's WNEW-FM (these two stations had a close relationship,
ran the similar promotions, and sometimes featured each other's disc jockeys on the air) and Cleveland's WMMS.
KMET in Los Angeles and KSAN in San Francisco were also part of the Metromedia chain and followed similar paths in the 1960s.
Throughout its existence, WMMR has broadcast live rock music shows and interviewed leading rock music stars. ~ wikipedi

**Not much more information i can provide on this Interview.
All i know is i've had it for a very long time.
It was on a cassette at some point that i got in trade from someone.
It must have been pre-1988 because i've kept pretty good notes on who i recieved recordings from in trade.

This is a fresh (02/2016) tape transfer.

I will let the artist & their music speak for themsleves.
Comments from YOU, the listener will be much more interesting....

PLEASE ENJOY THE MUSIC, WHILE YOU STILL CAN, BEFORE YOU'RE DEAD! AND WE'RE ALL DYING IN HERE, BUT YOU'RE NOT DEAD YET !
