MEETING THE STARS  


One of the "perks" WARMland personalities had was the opportunity to meet the rock and roll stars of the era. One of the guys who was very connected to the music scene at WARM was Tom Woods. Woods was the Music Director of the station and along with Program Director George Gilbert had a huge say in picking the records heard on the Mighty 590. 
Facebook has given former members of the WARM Sensational 7 the opportunity to share their memories. Here's one from Tom Woods' Facebook page regarding a visit from Peter and Gordon.
Here's a blast from the past...This is me with Peter and Gorden in 1965 just as they arrived from England for WARM DAY at Rocky Glenn Park. Sadly Gorden passed away in July of 2009. Gorden Waller is the one with glasses. This was their first time in the United States. Their big hit.."A World Without Love". 
One of the hit songs Peter and Gordon had was actually by Paul McCartney and John Lennon.
