Spend a Day with John Records Landecker

Do you remember the “Boogie Check”? Americana Panorama? Those classic days when WLS 890 was the center of the rock universe on Midwest radio? If any of these bring back fond memories, please join us as WLS disc jockey John Records Landecker comes to the Carol Stream Library to discuss his amazing radio career and to talk about his new book titled Records Truly Is My Middle Name.  The event will be held in the meeting rooms at the library on Sunday, October 6. A reception is scheduled for 1:30 pm and the program and book signing will run from 2:00-4:00.

Radio legend John Records Landecker has been questioned throughout his career about the origin of his middle name. As he points out in his book, it was not, as most people assumed, a stage name. His mother's maiden name was Records and her full name was Majorie Victoria Records as Landecker himself remarked during the 2008 BIG89 Rewind on 890 WLS AM. "Records truly is my middle name" is a saying Landecker frequently uses on the air.


The Friends of the Carol Stream Library have planned this event and will sponsor a reception and book signing after the program. Be sure to join us for an upbeat and entertaining afternoon with one of the legends of local radio.

Mark your calendar and join us for this special event!
Date: October 6

Reception: 1:30 pm
Program: 2:00 pm
