Want a record spun, a baby minded? Alan Dary, WORL's unique disc jockey is definitely your man.
HOW
TO
WIN
FANS
Some men collect snapshots of their best girls, some proud fathers display pictures of the "most be-yoo-ti-ful baby in the world" — but Alan Dary of WORL collects pictures of his fans.
When Alan first started his Musical Dary Go Round show less than a year ago, he didn't know many people in Boston, and what was more important, not many people knew him. Being an extrovert by nature and a disc jockey by trade, he had to make friends in a hurry.
Alan sincerely wanted to know and meet his listeners so he asked them to send pictures to be pasted in the "Dary Family Album." In return he sent a picture of himself and answered each letter personally. When he last counted, he had more than one thousand friends smiling out at him from the album pages.
The friendships he's formed through pictures and letters have grown in several ways. Housewives send in packages of homemade cookies and candies nearly every day, and the whole staff is kept busy eating. One listener, apparently a professional artist, sent him a colored drawing sketched from the picture Alan sent him, and a girls' fan club awarded him with a plaque.
In a few short months his popularity had increased so much that he was given another show, Date With Dary. Now he's on the air three-and-a-half hours a day, six days a week.
But Alan still wasn't satisfied; he wanted to meet as many of his listeners in person as possible. One day he invited a housewife to sit in on the morning show as a guest disc jockey, and the idea went over with a bang. Now Alan has guest disc jockeys three times a week. He also holds open house at the studio for any listeners who want to come in to visit and chat.
He then decided that if people were nice enough to visit him, he'd like to return the compliment. Being a family man with two daughters and a son, he knew how difficult it was to get baby sitters. That gave him an idea. For guessing the correct title of a tune that he plays backwards on his morning show, the winner receives what Alan calls "the dubious honor" of having the services of Mr. Dary as baby sitter any night he chooses.
