Al Boliska was a popular CHUM-AM radio personality. During their heyday, CHUM constantly promoted themselves through schemes like novelty records featuring their disc jockeys. Boliska released the third in a long line of CHUM DJ charting singles called "The Ballad Of A Dying Cowboy". The song spent 5 weeks on the CHUM charts (and those of affiliated stations) and reached #18 in March 1960.
In the very early 1960's CBC asked him to host a weekly local tv show in Toronto (CBLT) called "On The Scene". The program utilized the then new medium of video tape, traveling to various locations around town. From The Royal Winter Fair to a hootnenany at Maple Leaf Gardens. Boliska gradually adapted for TV and became one of the show's likable main hosts. With notes from Don Adams

All records are strictly graded and come with a 100% money back guarantee. All records are original, first pressings unless otherwise noted. If the record is an LP, EP or has a picture sleeve, the record is graded first, followed by the cover or sleeve.
Grading is based on the following criteria
Mint = store stock new
Mint- = near new with only one or two small insignificant defects
VG++ = extremely nice. Would be Mint-, except for a couple of light scratches or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still sounds OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Payment by PAYPAL PREFERRED.
