Albany, NH – A truck caught fire on Route 16 in Albany Sunday. According to the Conway Fire Department at 1:38 in the afternoon, crews were called to Route 16 just north of Monkey Trunks where a 2001 Chevy 1500 that had caught fire on.

The owner of the vehicle told authorities that the truck caught fire and he attempted to put it out with 4 extinguishers to no avail. He then moved the vehicle away from his garage and it was left under the power lines off the side of the road. Luckily the wires were only slightly damaged.

Fire crews were able to quickly extinguish the flames and clear the scene by 2:15pm. The North Bound Lane of Route 16 was closed while crews worked on the fire.

The driver of the vehicle was evaluated by EMS crews for smoke and dry chemical exposure.

Air Staff WMWV – 93.5

Roy Prescott has been a radio and music lover since listening to 60’s rock ‘n roll on Boston’s WRKO and WMEX. Back when they played music. In Arlington, MA, he and his friends would set up a faux radio station in the basement and spin the 45’s they had, plus the ones they “borrowed” from siblings. Pretending to be playing “the most from coast to coast”. Later on Cape Cod, Roy and his friend Doug, would sit in a car across the street from WCOD in Hyannis, where the DJ was set up in the front window. Roy would say, “I’m gonna do that someday.” Fast forward to 1978. Roy moved to the Mount Washington Valley on October 1st, working at then Crest Chevrolet. Getting to know the community, Roy moved on to tending bar at the Mountain Valley Court Club. Here he got acquainted with WMWV. They had a Sports Talk program and Roy being a sports fan and Wrestling fan (another long story), would make guest appearances on the program. By the way, it’s said that Roy’s resume reads like a tome, although maybe not so scholarly! Fast forward to 1993. Roy and his then wife, opened the Community Market & Deli in Madison. They had fantastic food and did a live broadcast of the daily lunch specials on WMWV. Mark Johnson of WMWV was starting a Blues show and Roy lent him his meager collection and the Blues Summit was born. Roy would join Mark in the studio from time to time, learning the ropes and the board. At one point, Mark became ill with pneumonia and there was no one to host the show. Unbeknownst to the powers that be, Roy filled in for Mark. Almost giving a heart attack to then station manager Jesse Mosston! The big thing? He played all the commercials! Fast forward to 1999. Mark Johnson passed the reins of the Blues Summit to Roy. The show at that point was on Sunday nights. At last count the Blues Summit library boasts 5000 Blues CDs! Fast forward to 2000. Roy sold the Deli AND long time staple on the WMWV airwaves, George Cleveland, took the job running the Gibson Center for Senior Services in North Conway. Roy started his dream job working full time at WMWV, doing afternoons. Roy remembers that during the job interview, Skip Sherman, who had owned the station since the 1950’s asked, “What are your intentions with my radio station?” Feeling like he was asking for a daughter’s hand, Roy replied, “To play the best damn music and not embarrass myself.” I guess he passed the audition! Since that time, Roy has taken over the hosting duties of Morning Drive and continues to host the Blues Summit, now on Wednesday nights 6-9 pm. A giant part of Roy’s job is also getting out into the community for live remote broadcasts, where he says it’s great to actually see the listeners. He quips, “It’s nice to see the people that love (and sometimes don’t love) WMWV. You sit in the studio talking into a mic and hope that you make an impact, no matter how small, on listener’s lives. Radio is very powerful!” Roy was promoted to Program/Music Director in March, 2020 when Mark Johnson left the station after 27 years. It’s a labor of love that makes WMWV one of the coolest radio stations in the country! Sometimes dreams come true.

Clay Groves, Cut his teeth on music in the 1990’s where he spent 5 years managing the now gone, Strawberries Music Stores. He spent all his spare time going to shows (including Woodstock 94) listening to all kinds of music and loving the 1990’s music scene. After Strawberries folded, Clay joined Americorps and served two years as a volunteer teacher in the inner-city schools of Lawrence, MA and then became a middle school science teacher in the same schools. While he was teaching, he met his wife, Kristin, and they decided to move to the Mt Washington Valley where she is now an amazing K-1 teacher in Jackson. Clay then spent the next 15 years working various part-time nonprofit jobs in the valley including, science teacher, director of White Mountains Community College (Conway campus) and afterschool program director. In his spare time, he started the nationally recognized Fish Nerds Podcast (www.fishnerds.com) and quickly became an audio nerd. In addition, Clay is a licensed fishing guide and spends far too much time playing with those slimy animals.

Since moving to the valley, Clay has started his day listening to Roy Prescott’s morning show (Clay is a huge fan) and Clay loves the music on WMWV. In the late fall legendary DJ Mark Johnson called Clay out of the blue and asked him if he wanted to learn to make radio and Clay jumped at the opportunity. Clay learned to run the board, make the live weekend shows and even got a chance to sit in Roy’s Gold-Plated DJ Throne so Roy could take a vacation.

When Covid-19 hit the valley, Clay was heartbroken to be sent home from the station for an indefinite amount of time while the station figured out how to navigate the new world. Then on an amazing spring morning station owner Greg Frizzell called Clay and asked him to come back and now Clay can be heard on air weekdays 1-6pm and weekends 7-1pm. Clay’s favorite thing about the Mount Washington Radio Group is the station’s culture of supporting the community. Clay lives in Conway with wife Kristin and daughters Zoe (13) and Sammy (10) and he loves this community.

Annie Provenzano has been a music fan for as long as she can remember and spent hours singing into her hairbrush in front of the mirror with her friends as a kid. One of her favorite past times is getting together with her friends to talk about forming a band. None of them ever learned how to play instruments, but they always have a hairbrush handy to sing into.

While co-running the Drylongso Coffeehouse in the late 90’s and early aughts she got to meet some of her favorite folk musicians . . . Ferron, Greg Brown, Cheryl Wheeler, Tom Dean, John Gorka, Lucy Kaplansky, David Wilcox and so many others. She also worked as European tour manager for Bill Morrissey. Booking musicians paired nicely with her job hosting ‘Great Acoustics’ – the Thursday night radio show on WMWV during the same timeframe.

In 2020 Annie retired from 35 years working for the Post Office with the final years as Postmaster in various offices around Mt. Washington Valley. She now spends more time doing yoga, walking the dog, enjoying meditation, dipping in ice water and trying to build up the light inside her. She is happy to be back at WMWV working around great music and wonderful people.

The Blues Summit debuted in 1993 and celebrated it’s 27th Anniversary in January, 2020! Program Director/Music Director and original host, Mark Johnson named the show for the B.B. King release of that year, and the fact that WMWV is in the White Mountains of NH. At that time, he asked assistance from Blues fan Roy Prescott, borrowing from Roy’s modest record collection. The show aired on Sunday evenings for two hours.

Mark started reporting to Jim McGrath for Living Blues for a time and started developing relationships with Blues labels and genre contacts. Roy continued to co-produce and guest host on the show. In April,1999, Roy took over the hosting duties. When Roy went full-time at WMWV in 2000 and eventually took over the Morning Drive, the Blues Summit moved to Wednesday nights and went to three hours. During Morning Drive on Wednesdays, Roy plays “A Taste of the Blues Summit” at 8:30. This gives him a chance to promote the show and the Blues. WMWV plays a large amount of Blues in its AAA format on a daily basis. Usually one song per hour.

As early as 1989, Roy had been lobbying for a Blues program on WMWV. As that was about to happen, Roy started playing bass in a local band, The Brownfield Blues Band, shelving the radio idea.

Roy continues to report to Living Blues and at least 90 contacts in the Blues industry monthly. He went to the 2000 W.C. Handy Awards and to the 2008 Blues Music Awards. Putting faces to the contacts that he has created relations with. Both times venturing to the Mississippi Delta for fact finding missions.

A big part of the Blues Summit is the interviews with musicians, labels, promoters, Blues authors and historians. The listeners really enjoy this part of the program. Roy has had the honor of interviewing: Koko Taylor, Buddy Guy (3), Odetta, Johnny Otis, John Brim, John Hammond, Bruce Iglauer (3), Bob Koester (2), Bill Wax, Duke Robillard, Maria Muldaur (2), Chris Vachon, Bob Margolin (at least 2), Son Seals, Ann Rabson, Eddy Clearwater, Big Bill Morganfield, Big Jack Johnson, Super Chikan, Nick Moss, Coco Montoya, Rory Block, Taj Mahal and Bob Corritore. Authors Elijah Wald and Ted Gioia. Promoter Betsie Brown and Jay Sieleman of the Blues Foundation. The Blues Summit is the only Blues radio program ever to interview the elusive Jim McGrath, the keeper of the Living Blues Charts! Plus literally hundreds more.

The Blues Summit library has grown from it’s humble beginnings to over 7000 titles, all meticulously maintained by Roy. At any given moment you’ll hear Blues from the 1920’s to the release opened that day! Listener suggestions are usually at the fingertips, as they try to stump the DJ. If you don’t get the exact track you asked for you’ll always get one from that artist.

Mt. Washington Radio & Gramophone’s Greg Frizzell, owner of WMWV says, “As much fun and enjoyment as Roy Prescott has hosting the Blues Summit, he’s serious about the quality of the show and preserving the Blues legacy. The Blues Summit is a staple in WMWV’s programming.”

Roy is a member of the Blues Foundation and subscribes to Living Blues.

The Blues Summit is sponsored each summer by the White Mountain Boogie ‘n’ Blues Festival. A “Keeping The Blues Alive” award winning festival in Thornton, NH. The show is also sponsored by The Red Parka  Steakhouse & Pub in Glen, home of the “Blue Sunday Series”!
