Hello Detroit. Jim Hampton here. Once again as part of the Woodward Dream Cruise celebration, I get to play 15 of the best car hits back-to-back with 15 of your favorite cruisin’ songs on 104.3 WOMC.

Plus, you will hear actual air checks of the Detroit DJ’s who originally played those hits on your car radio when you cruised around Detroit, when I was on the radio here, in the 1960s.

For the second year-in-row, THANK YOU Big Boy Restaurants, for sponsoring this year’s Radio Recall Woodward Dream Cruise show, exclusively on 104.3 WOMC.  Enjoy the WOMC encore presentation. The show will be on again, early-tomorrow morning, Saturday, 5-8 a.m. EST. (1-4 a.m. West Coast time).

So let’s ‘rev it up, one more time, 2015 Woodward dream cruisers. As we’d say back in the ’60s, “it’s gonna be a gas!”
