Thanks much these are so great
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, doors97426.
DeleteCheers.
I must say that I too am enjoying this series immensely! This was a time, before the British Invasion, when music styles that came out of the 40's and rock 'n' roll from the 50's were maturing into new forms of pop. Radio was still king. The relevance of disc jockey personalities and their contribution to the enjoyment of our music was just starting to be realized. I was limited to the USA side of things, so it's great to hear a few other influences of that time now!
ReplyDeleteOne selection that threw me off.. I did not realize Paul Revere went back that far.. learned something there.
Hi mrRadio,
DeleteI am glad you are enjoying the series so far. There are tracks in there that I hadn't heard for years, so it was great pulling them together for me.
I am glad there are surprises to be found.
Cheers.

ReplyDeleteFirst thing that came to my mind was that the headline had a typo and was meant to read 50 years ago! Then it slowly came to me that it was correct. What an old geezer I am turning in to. Thanks for this, it's a wonderful time machine.
Hi lemonflag,
DeleteI like that you refer to these as a Time Machine, That a great title for a compilation.
Cheers.
