To the editor: Thanks to the contributing writer Susan Straight for the wonderful piece about Art Laboe (“Dj'd Radio for 79 years. Fanters of Artío by Art Laboe are still tune in”, September 28). When I was a girl lying on the bed at night, they tuned to the radio every time Laboe was on. It ignited so many different types of music and still, at 82, I am a big music fan and concert assistant. I remember once, while living in Westchester and was probably in the tenth or 11th grade, my friend and I spoke to two of our friends to take us to the Stadium of the Legion El Monte for one of Laboe's events, and it was and was still one of my favorite nights. What a gift was this column. Rock on!
