Earlier this week Arnold Frolows, one time 2JJJ presenter and program director passed away. He hosted the Ambient music show on Sunday nights in the 80s. He was also one of the first people to be hired by the station, which incidently will celebrate its 50th anniversary this Sunday. I was one of the shy suburban teenagers who was a listener right from the first broadcast.

Hey Tom, was it Double J when it first started? I also remember listening to the station from the early days. One I can vividly recall was this crazy new style music from an artist named Bob Marley.

It was great radio back in the day.

Yes, 2JJ, 1540 on the AM band. And I remember hearing lots of Bob Marley in the early years too, though I was introduced to Bob Marley and the Wailers via Chris Winter's Room to Move show on 2BL in 1974.

RIP Garth Hudson, oldest and last surviving member of The Band, who played keyboards, sax and squeeze box.

I know that BBB is a big fan of The Band's version of Baby Let Me Follow You Down.
