David Dye's Tribute to Ed Sciaky

Ed Sciaky, second from left, with some very famous friends at WMMR
A few months back I posted a tribute written by Jonathan Takiff about legendary Philadelphia disc jockey Ed Sciaky. Here is an even more moving tribute from the WXPN Music Blog posted by the station's own David Dye titled What Is Regionalism?

David Dye worked with Ed Sciaky for many years at both WMMR, 93.3 FM, and later at WIOQ, 102.1 FM. Both stations were top outlets in 1970's Philadelphia alternative radio.

  1. My name is Avi Sciaki.

    My brother and I are searching and researching our roots. Beacuse our last name is so rare, We are wondering if Ed might posibly be related to us.

    Let us know how we can contact you.

    Best, Avi

  3. I thought it was Ed Shockey, Is he still around?

    Hey I'm looking for a song and who dunit, that maybe David Dye remembers on 'WMMR or someone that I can find it today. I'm sure the cut was on an LP or something. Possibly I can get it off the web but do not know the name or who it was by...
    It was LIKE an Indian song w/ American Indian lyrics and was done in the late 60's Early 1970's as they played it on the airwaves.
    It went like this: Witch a ta ta hindu wah Ho uanita Ho Jaunita, Hey ney, Hey neh, no wah something spinning around my head makes me feel like I'm not dead...
