Vernon Classics #18

It continually amazes me that after all these years, there are still airchecks of my work floating around out there from 30 or 40 years ago.

Being a personality jock is like any other art form; some days can be really good and other days can really stink. I've heard some airchecks of my work that I'd like to destroy and others that I've listened to and realized that I was hitting on all cylinders that particular day.

Unfortunately, very few days of my work were recorded and saved. Of all the airchecks of Vernon with a V that I've heard - from WNBC, WGAR, KLZ, WJR and WCAR - the one from the summer of 1974, at WGAR, in Cleveland, is one of the best I've found. That was one of the days when it all came together.

If I remember correctly, this was also the aircheck that I sent to NBC when they asked for a sample of my work. You'll notice that I was still Bob Vernon With a V. I didn't drop 'Bob' until I was at 66WNBC.
