<div><font size="3">Mike,</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Too bad, he was the most creative DJ I ever heard!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">His first show at WNEW-FM was as a fill-in, two weeks before Woodstock.</font></div>

<p>Sorry to say Mike - No - This one slip by me - Was he mentioned on your Progressive FM Radio Podcast - Listen to WNEW every year for a week in Manhatten in August. I only remember Scott Muni and Alislon ! 1968 - 1972 .</p>

<p>And Jon, he was at WNEW_FM for over 20 years, left and came back till they switched to talk.</p>
<p>That was smart...a talk station in STEREO...and with their history as the best FM Rock station ever!</p>
<p>That didn't last long!</p>

<p>Thanks guys.</p>
<p>I tell you, I really do feel broken-hearted, it's the knowing he is gone and there will be no talking to him, no new shows with brilliant ideas and song choices by him.</p>
<p>We really were in competition with each other, but I always knew he was better than me.</p>
<p>Guess the last time I felt this way was when Scott Muni died.</p>

<p>I met Muni a few times, but Pete was close enough for me to get pissed off at him!</p>
<p>I can only hope I have that effect on some people out there- just a few and I would be very proud and thankful.</p>
