Barry Mint

I heard that the Hotdog would be staging a reunion concert at the Dusit Hotel this month.  Brings back a lot of memories!  To those of you who listened to the Manila AM band in the seventies, I'm sure you came across DZBM, lovingly referred to by the jocks to "Barry Mint."  This was the main competitor of DZRJ, the Rock of Manila (still broadcasting after all these years, now on 100.3 FM).  When 92.3 FM called itself with a human name "Joey," it was actually following the tradition set by Barry Mint!  Together with DWKW, these 3 stations were the staples of the 70s and the music format they played brought in a lot of excitement to our generation.  Of course we'd also listen to the stations of the oldies (who can forget Bong Lapira, Eddie Mercado, Art Galindez?) but Barry Mint brought in the music of our generation.  That was really cool!
