Jon Wolfert was just 14 years old when this picture was taken during one of his many visits to WABC.
As you may know, he went on to become the president/owner of JAM Creative Productions and later created and produced many of WABC's jingles.

As Dan Ingram once said: "He's a jingle fan who went straight!"

You can hear Jon every Sunday on his live Rewound Radio show starting at 3PM (ET).
Jon tells jingle stories, radio stories and, of course, plays the best music!
