Regarding Dick Wooley's Home.

Former Capricorn Records executive Dick Wooley was vice president of promotions for the label before going on to form his own management company, Rabbit Records, on Walnut Street. In 1972, it was Wooley’s idea to broadcast the Allman Brothers Band’s New Year’s Eve show from The Warehouse in New Orleans to more than 30 stations throughout eight Southeastern states, creating a new format in radio that we now know as “simulcast.”
