Columbus Day 1973 WOXR - Oxford, Ohio

In !973 Columbus Day was a Monday Holiday rather than the old traditional date of October 12th. This "Goodbye Columbus Day Day" was a live tribute I wrote and presented on WOXR. (With apologies to Stan Freberg.) I had just started doing mornings in Oxford (north of Cincinnati) and I perceived this production as a big deal. So I had the girl I had just started dating record it in her dorm room at Miami University. (With bad radio reception.) Having her record it was actually a ruse so I could have an excuse to see her later that evening. By the way... a few years later we married. In April we will celebrate our 50th Anniversary!
