I still remember hearing the song "Oh, > how I hate to get up in the morning" every day...) Wow! I forgot about "Oh, how I..." in the morning. Unless Jr took over the show in later year, you were listening to Gambling, Sr, who also liked to play "Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go." My discovery of "Old Man Gambling", as I called him, was in 1958 when I began prep school in Princeton, NJ. I used to love to turn him on at 7 Am to annoy the hell out of my roommates, I also got a kick out of his in-house "orchestra", which may have had as many as four musicians (they were simply AWFUL!). Gambling, Jr., was on in the evenings, and I already knew of him even though I was living in distant West Virginia, since WOR could be heard everywhere at night. AZS
