Mi Amigo in 1977

Former Caroline DJ Mike Stevens generously provided the site with some fascinating slides that he took aboard the Mi Amigo in 1977. As many of you may remember, Mike was a regular voice on Caroline during 1977 and 78, and also made a brief return to the station in early 1980. These slides offer a unique glimpse into the station's history. Thank you, Mike, for your contribution!
