The Oldies with Ron Dwyer
Saturdays 1:00 – 7:00 PM
Sundays 1:00 - 5:00 PM
Ron Dwyer is a walking encyclopedia of Boston area music information! We mention Boston area because, having grown up on the North Shore, Ron knows the music that was popular here; music popularity is regional.
Since he can remember (and before, he’s been told) Ron has loved music! When he was in the 8th grade, his best friend was a 10th grader and the two boys would finish their homework and then produce a mock radio show in his attic, complete with news feeds. His friend is still on radio, too.
Every Friday he would go to the local record store to spend his hard earned money on records. He’d often tell the owner which songs he thought would be hits and to buy extra copies. When the owner noticed that Ron’s “predictions” came true, the owner started quizzing Ron each week before placing his order!
More about Ron
Ron also has a photographic memory for musical facts. He can tell you the 1st day a song was played in this area, everything on the label including flip side and song length and tell you if the song length is correct. (Record companies often stated shorter that actual times for records in the hopes that the DJ would play them; programmers often would skip songs that they thought were too long.)
His knowledge base isn’t only rock & roll; his happiest days in college were spent in the chorus. As the “anchor” bass, he sang many classical pieces even though he does not read music.
His show “Ron Dwyer with Oldies” is formatted just the way he would want to hear a show if he was the listener and that has kept him at WATD for almost 9 years. He plays songs that were hits in the Boston Market. Heavy 60′s, he considers this the best time for pop music. There were many creative people involved in producing music; many influences including doo-wop, Motown, psychedelic, bubblegum, R&B, English sound (Beatles, Dave Clark 5, Stones …), surf (Jan & Dean, Beach Boys), folk, folk-rock. With so many artist vying for the buying dollar, you had to be good to survive.
He likes to give information and trivial facts about the songs he plays. He also does a lot of fan requests. But, he won’t necessarily play the song right away; he intuitively places the song in his lineup where it will sound good in the music flow. Ron strays slightly from his format when he plays songs that should have been a hit but were not promoted by their record companies.
When not hosting his show on WATD, he does voice-overs for commercials. Ron’s quick wit and ability to ad lib makes him a favorite at WATD! And don’t get him started on movie facts; he’s just as knowledgeable there!

SUNDAY
‘Round Midnite – Jazz – w/ Bob & Eileen or Tom Lucci
WATD’s only dedicated Jazz show!
Sundays: Midnight – 6:00 AM
Email: roundmidnight959@outlook.com
Visit: Round Midnight on WATD
Bob and Eileen have been together since 1996 and married in 1999. They are a great team together. Eileen has been with Bob working on WATD since 2000 on the “Wide World of Blues” show working on “The Friday Night Overnight Blues Party” which was hosted by Peter Black. When Bob was asked to Co-Host the Jazz Program “Round Midnight” Eileen came along with him to help with the program by keeping track of the music and adding input to the on-air commentary.
Today they have become an integral part of the only Jazz program on-air in the state. Their Jazz music ranges from the early 1940′s through today. Eileen was not completely jazz oriented, however she has come to love and enjoy the history and musicians of this music and has been completely involved with the production of the program’s music.
Bob grew up with music all his life and was at one time a professional musician like his mother and father. His mother was a concert pianist and church organist. His father was a guitarist on a local radio station WESX-AM in Salem, MA. In 1996, when Bob graduated from the Connecticut School of Broadcasting he was hired by WATD owner Ed Perry as a part-time board operator on weekends until he joined the overnight crew with a oldies show that played all the old rhythm & blues music he grew up with. Once that ended he joined Peter Black on Saturday mornings and occasionally filling in on the jazz show with Sherry Smith. Later he joined Sherry on alternate weekends.
If you like jazz, join Bob & Eileen, they’re looking forward to hearing from you.
“We’re Keeping Jazz Alive”
Tom Lucci
Tom Lucci is our newest jazz host. He hosts ‘Round Midnight on alternate Sundays from 12:00 midnight to 6:00 a.m. Learn more about Tom, CLICK HERE.
