Cousin Brucie's Still Cruisin'

I was listening to "Beatle Brunch" this morning on WODS-FM in Boston.  This week's show was about 4 Beatle Disc Jockeys who called themselves "The 5th Beatle" during Beatlemania.  The episode is called "4 Beatle Boss Jocks: Where Are They Now?"

One of them is Bruce Morrow aka "Cousin Brucie" who was with WABC back in 1964 when he met the Beatles during their first visit to America.  He is the DJ who helped in returning Ringo Starr's St. Christopher medal.

Cousin Brucie hosted a radio show called "Cruisin' America" in the late 1980s.  I listened to it on WROR-FM.  He sometimes was on Joe Martelle's "Saturday Night Live at the Oldies" show as a guest during that time.

Today, Cousin Brucie has a radio show on Sirrus radio on Wednesday and Saturday nights.  Check out his own web page at Sirrus.

The three other Beatle Boss Jocks are Rick Shaw, Larry Kane and Chuck Brinkman.
