BILL VERMILLION PASSED ON

[thehat]

Bill Vermillion died yesterday. To those who don't know the name, Bill was the MD at WLOF in Orlando, Florida in the 1960's. He was responsible for breaking more bands than anyone I know. He ran BeeJay Recording Studios after he left WLOF. We worked together when I programmed WORJ in Orlando. He was our consulting Sound Engineer. He helped us build state-of-the-art studios and engineered all of our Southern Progressive Radio Network Concerts at BeeJay Studios.WLOF opened the door for the success of WORJ, because of Bill's musical stance. WLOF was the most musically advanced Top 40 station in America under Bill's watchful eye and great ears and they dominated Orlando radio during the '60s. Bill was a great guy. A true friend. A consummate pro.I'm tired of saying these words lately. Bill will be missed.
