Memories of HC... Dick Summer on the radio... Heard his distinctive, comforting voice on a TV commercial recently. 2020! It brought back warm memories of my HC in the '60' s - awkward mixers,Earl of Sandwich was in reality the Earl of Shrewsbury thus the sandwich should be called the Shrewsbury. Roy Orbison, Pretty Woman;April Stevens & Nino Tempo; Sugar Shack and so much more. And, Dick Summer. IMO he was & thank God is still the best. 75. Do not forget Roy the Boy Orbison. The Chambers Brothers. |

Dick Summer: Some time in the 5th-8th grade timeframe (so 1961-65) he moved into my neighborhood, a few houses away.
I think at the time he was the late night guy on WBZ radio, so sightings of the guy were rare; or non-existent.
His family (a bunch of little kids and a stressed out wife that always seemed to be screaming at them and everyone else) might have provided him with more incentives to not be around a lot.
He can't be younger than 85.

Really dating myself here, but wasn't Summer around the same time frame as Woo Woo Ginsburg? And maybe a little before Charles Laquidara?

Those photos are definitely the Dick Summer from the 60s.

I remember listening to Dick Summer's Nightlight show driving back from Newton College on weekends. One of his things at the time was his pet venus flytrap, Irving. As for "Sugar Shack," I associate that song more with WORC. Speaking of WORC, I recall that it had a weekend disc jockey from Worcester Tech named Marshall Cross who regularly mocked Roy Orbison (he called him the "Big Zero") and West Boylston. |

Those photos are definitely the Dick Summer from the 60s. The instrumentation in both photos gives it away. |
