Lujack, Landecker, Chuck Knapp, Fred Winston, Bill Bailey…they’re all back for Chicago's “Big 89 Rewind.”



WLS
– from its top 40 heyday – still has a mystical hold on folks who grew
up glued to their transistor radios to hear what animal stories
“Superjock” Lujack and Tommy Edwards would come up with, or how John
Records Landecker would handle the nighttime “Boogie Check.” Last
year’s holiday weekend “Rewind” was a hoot (based on the Art Vuolo
video that I saw), and now this year Citadel’s hosting another 19-hour
Memorial Day flashback. Even the names of the newscasters are burned
into your brain, if you recall big voices like Lyle Dean and Gil Gross
and sportsguy Les Grobstein. The Big 89 really was bigger than life.
Vuolo’s back with his camera this year, and he says Chuck Knapp’s
coming in from Minneapolis to do mornings, Lujack and Tommy Edwards
will do 9am-noon together, and several other folks who contributed to
last year’s Rewind by ISDN will be present in the studio this year –
including Jeff Davis and (in from San Francisco) Gil Gross. It happens
on Monday, the official holiday.
