In 1980, Billy Joel and Bob Buchmann (WBAB program director) completed a 4-day radiothon that benefitted “Charity Begins at Home” with all proceeds benefitting Long Island non-profits. This photo represents the 1st of 29 “Rock Marathons.” Billy visited WBAB on December 8, 1980, 40 years ago, and hours later, we all heard the news about John Lennon.
