On the night of Friday, March 24, 1961, Walter Dixon, his good friend, Douglas Duke, and his favorite engineer, Edward Mitchell, entered the darkened “Studio B” in WHAM’s beautiful, state-of-the-art Radio City Building on Humboldt Street in Rochester, NY. The widely acclaimed and very popular Time Between radio program was about to be born.

The hour was late. Within the deep shadows of “Studio B,” they created little islands of light for microphones, keyboards, and the sound room. It was an ambiance well suited to the mood of the program. Consisting of short vignettes narrated by Walter Dixon and complimented by the music of Douglas Duke, Walter’s Time Between slice-of-life recollections were designed to awaken memories, soothe the soul, and stir the heart.

During those late-night recording sessions, Walter’s words and Doug’s music ebbed and flowed in a nocturnal soliloquy of sound. The listening audience loved it. Recalling those late-night sessions, Walter Dixon simply said, “It was a very exciting time. We had a lot of fun.” One of Rochester, NY’s best-known radio voices, Walter Dixon wrote and produced 29 Time Between programs in all. For nearly two years, they aired over WHAM at 11:15 on Sunday evenings.
