- DEBUT COLLECTION

It was almost four years ago when I was invited to spend an afternoon in June with Lee Simms, and it has been very difficult deciding how to present his Collection here because he is SO damn good and whatever I do, it will never be as good as Lee Baby on the radio. There will be more in his Collection, but I hope you will enjoy these debut exhibits, just as so many have enjoyed Lee's work on this site for sixteen years.

"... Todd (Storz) and some others were sitting around figuring out what they could do on their station and they noticed that WDSU had a program called the Top 20. And they thought if the Top 20 was successful, that the Top 40 would be even better - and that's what they said - We're going to be twice as good as WDSU 'cause we're gonna play - The Top 40."
