What a fun two days at the Meriden Daffodil Festival at Hubard Park. Thanks to everybody that stopped by the 99.1 PLR Tent to say hello. Big shout out to our friends at the Boy Scouts of America Connecticut Yankee Council, who were with us all weekend!
Take a look at our photos!
We came out to support our friends at WFSB Channel 3 at The Denise D’Ascenzo Foundation’s Walk to Cure Rare Diseases at Quinnipiac University’s Mount Carmel Campus in Hamden.
Great turnout for such a great cause!
There are very few albums where every song on it has become a recognizable hit, especially a debut album! This is true for Boston’s first LP behind the genius of Tom Scholz, an MIT graduate with a Master’s degree from that esteemed university. When first signed to a record label (Epic) they wanted him to record in L.A. with their record producer, instead Tom decided that he would do the project in his basement studio in Watertown, Mass. where it eventually became Scholz Research & Development, Inc. This is where he developed electronic inventions he used on this album. Long story short, this album has been referred to as a landmark record of the 1970s and has sold over 25 million copies worldwide!
