"Have you ever watched a moonbeam

As it slid across your windowpane

Or struggled with a bit of rain

Or danced about the weather vane

Or sat along a moving train

And wondered where the train has been

Or on a fence with bits of crap

Around its bottom

Blown there by a wind beam

Who searches for the moonbeam

Who was last seen

Looking at the tracks

Of the careless wind beam

Or moving to the clacks

Of the tireless freight train

And lighting up the sides

Of the weather vane

And the bits of rain

And the windowpane

And the eyes of those

Who think they saw what happened..."

"I've got one, you've got one too"

*Rock On the Thom Lane Show was the theme song introduction of Radio Heart, a weekly solo radio show hosted by Thom Lane (pictured above) and heard by a legion of thousands in the late 70's on WTBS/WMBR, 88.1FM in the Cambridge/Boston area. He was one of my oldest, experienced (in all the senses of the word) and closest radio Brothers. We hit it off the day he wandered into the dungeon-like basement studio in MIT's Walker Memorial Building located on the Charles River on a Monday morning in the summer of 1976 during my radio show debut Son Of Rock, ETC and introduced himself as the new guy! Together in 1977, we joined forces to create and host the first daily "Punk/New Wave" show in the US - the legendary Late Risers Club, with a cast of like-minded nascent-talents including my future WBCN team-mates Carter Allen, Albert O and the wonderful late-great Carla Nolan(sigh). Our baby has grown much older, as the LRC is still rocking 47 years later (a real source of pride for the original air-staff)! The master tapes of this resurrected relic features Willie Alexander on vocals and were transferred by David Brown. It was written by Fred Pineau, with additional lyrics from another of my long-running Boston music allies
  "Count" Joe Viglione.

We lost Thom a few years back and, he's now fondly remembered as a storied radio and SPIT dj and a and well-loved scene-creator. Such a minor set back would not have stopped Mr. Lane 
and it obviously will never stop us from
Rocking with Thom "Coach" Lane!
