He had a long career on WMMR FM in the 1970s and then moved on to other stations after that. I have heard a Bruce Springsteen show from the Main Point (now the Point) in Bryn Mawr from early 1975, just before the Born to Run tour. I assume Mr. Sciaky was involved in that show, if not the host. In that show, Thunder Road has not fully taken shape, and is called Wings for Wheels.
