Carle Place, NY — On November 17, LL Dent Restaurant will host a special meet-and-greet featuring radio personality Ken “Spider” Webb and some of his friends from radio and show business, starting at 7 p.m. The restaurant is located at 221 Old Country Road in Carle Place.
Mr. Webb has invited fellow radio personalities Tony Richards and Mystery, as well as other VIPs and celebrities, to meet the listeners and enjoy LL Dent’s Southern-style specialties. There will also be a guest DJ spinning old-school musical selections and jazz music.
Starting at 7:30 p.m., the event will be “Webb-cast”
Since the late 1960s, Mr. Webb has been one of New York’s most popular morning radio personalities. In July 1971, he became he very first radio ”morning man” for Manhattan’s WBLS-FM Radio. By 1983, WBLS had the No.1 position in the morning ratings. He later moved to WRKS-FM, where he gave the station its first No. 1 position in the morning ratings until 1995, when he returned to WBLS. In addition, he has worked at WLIB-AM, WWRL-AM and the former WQCD-FM (CD101.9).
Mr. Webb has also been involved in the community. He founded the KISS Kards and the WBLS Sure Shots benefit basketball teams to help raise money for local communities in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan areas and the Baltimore area, where he was raised. He has also used his shows to raise funds for numerous community organizations, ranging from community causes to needy families.
“We are very glad to have Mr. Webb and his friends come to the restaurant for this special night,” said Leisa Dent, Chef and Co-Owner, LL Dent Restaurant. “Those who attend this event will get to meet the biggest names in radio and enjoy the best Southern-style food here on Long Island.”
