Figures he lived in Natick

Also home to Doug Flutie, I lived in Natick as did several people from WRKO.  And our most famous resident was the late Bud Ballou.

From Bob Christy,  magics longest PD.

Magic worked in radio for over 35 years, he worked for me for almost 5, the longest time he ever worked at one station and for one PD.

 

His wife (stolen from Al Casey) Gwen looked like Morticia and she was a strange case. I went to a barbecue she threw for her redneck Mom and Dad when she and "Mag" lived in Natick. Her Dad, who could have been in the cast of Deliverance, had one of the strongest Southern accents you could imagine. Magic, stoned and drunk at the same time, sat across from Gwen's Dad and mimicked his accent perfectly, he did for the entire week they were there.

 

The times I would drive to Magic's house and rouse his lazy ass out of a "sick" bed and drag him to work or grab him by the shirt collar and march his ass to the studio to get on the air. He played sick so many times that none of us believed him anymore. I don't think he believed it either because he almost died of a burst appendix when he worked at WVBF
