BLAST FROM YOUR PAST! TM
Rock & Roll Radio DJs
who
ROCKED Your World!
1954 ~ 1979

Vol. I
 
Rock & Roll Radio was a whole different animal in the '50s, '60s & '70s. The DJs were our buddies, our big brothers (and a few sisters), our counselors, and our secret lovers ... and oh, how we loved 'em!

Blast from Your Past pays tribute to the men and women of the Golden Era of Rock & Roll Radio who rocked our world!

Coast to coast, border to border, these energetic keepers of the music world - DJs, disc jockeys, deejays,announcers, jocks, whatever term you remember them by - told us what to
listen to, what records to buy, what to dance to, and listened to
us when we phoned in to ask why.

Dice weren't the only things fuzzy ... :-)

Every pink '59 Caddy had <br>pink dice dangling from the rearview mirror.

No self-respecting '59 pink caddy was without fuzzy dice!

A social network of unparalleled music-lover unity, live radio is quickly fading in today's automated programming and anonymous online substitutes. Blast from your Past is a legacy to the wild-n-crazy guys (and a few brave gals) of the mid-1950s, through the 1960s and '70s.

From a Rock & Roll fan:
I grew up in South Dakota, and listening to the big-watt rock stations
made places like Chicago come alive for me... and expanded my music
knowledge. Larry Lujack... Dick Biondi... and so many others were my
connection to the world beyond. For Baby Boomers, this was the golden
age of radio. LinDee Rochelle has talked with people and jocks from all
over the country to bring back those memories. Find yourself a bottle of
your favorite soft drink, put on your saddle shoes or love beads, and
rock on with LinDee and the jocks!
~ Melanie Rigney, EditorForYou.com 
   Past Writer's Digest editor

Admit it - your transistor radio was under your bed pillow to escape mom's bedcheck!

A note from the author ... I am determined to ensure at least some of
the att-i-tudes and moods of "the good ol' days" are preserved for a
future world that without these memories, would not begin to grasp the
craziness, creativity - and FUN - that defined the era, and real Rock & Roll Radio.

"We didn't realize in the '60s what <br>impact we had ... we were just having a LOT of fun!"


Interviewing this capricious cadre of DJs was a pure pleasure; especially when they imitated other DJs they worked with or idolized. What fun! LR


Coming soon - listen to your fave DJs and enjoy the moment ... again!
