[BC] Talking about automation taking you off the air

[Dan Kelley]

In my free-form AOR days, we'd use lots of the long cuts mentioned...
or just let cuts on Moody Blues albums segue since they usually 
transitioned from one track to the next without any dead air.

Then - slightly changing the topic - one station I worked at that
was all-vinyl in the early 70s had a song on cart sitting ontop of
the stack of 3 Gates Criterion machines.  The cart had a typewritten
file-folder type label on it that said "I Don't Have A Record Cued Up"

Long version of American Pie, Stairway to Heaven, the long version of 
Diadado's 2001, A Space Odyssey theme (1972), Year of the Cat, Boston's 
Launch/Long Time.

For the really intestinally challenged, Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant.

Pretty much any popular song over 6 minutes...  And even then, with carts 
being as stubborn as they can be, the longer carts would bind up. Or the 
record would skip. So you still needed to be back in the studio as fast as 
possible just in case that happened.
