No bots or bombs?

None that I found. I had not noticed the suspicious spelling in the URL. Thanks for your warning. However, I watched the entire video - no incident.

Why Not?

It's only YouTube, but I must say, that music is not for me.
Some of the other music wasn't bad.

I only knew of him through these songs:
The New Symphony Sid by King Pleasure
Jumpin’ With Symphony Sid- Van Morrison (live)

In the 50's he was a very cool guy who broadcasted live from Birdland every night. I lost a lot of sleep.

I think he might have worked for Howard Stern's father.

I have no clue about that. I was a long time dedicated listener/fan.

I have 2 degrees from FDU. I was in the first graduating class from the new Teaneck campus in 58'.
I loved North Jersey, but my roots were from "The Shore".

Thankyou!

No mention of that on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_Sid
