Interesting to hear the original version of this back on the radio during Roger Ashby's weekly Oldies Show. I know there's very little air evidence of Boliska's work left for some reason, but I think there was at least one LP released of this feature, such was its popularity. 

But there may be more gold to mine than just that. Turns out Boliska syndicated the idea to radio stations across the country and some of them may still have it kicking around in their archives. So hopefully, Mr. Ashby will be able to play more of this vintage flashback as the weeks go on. 



Boliska also had a TV show on CHCH, although it's not clear if any of those episodes survive. This ad is from 1969:



Sadly, I have no real memory of Boliska on the radio - he was just a bit before my time. But those who do say his show was one of the funniest and most creative they ever heard. Sad that almost nothing exists of it now. Many here are aware he famously exited CHUM to go to then-arch-rival CKEY. But I wonder how many know what happened to him after 590 abandoned rock and roll? You may not believe where he wound up in 1965:



Boliska certainly blazed a big trail in the city while he was here, but it didn't last long. He passed away much too soon at the age of just 39.
