Call us Baby Boomers if you will. We grew up in innocent times, where cars didn't have seat belts, there was no bottled water, if you got thirsty you just drank out of the garden hose, the mailman delivered the mail, if you watched TV you might have had 3 channels to choose from, which you had to change by getting up and walking across the room, that is if you were allowed to watch at all. You had to be home when the street lights came on and AM radio was king. After school you would get on the transistor radio and tune in to Porky Chedwick, Clark Race, Mad Mike, Bob Lavorio, Zeke Jackson, Charlie Apple, or Terry Lee on Radio Stations Like WAMO, KDKA, KQV, WZUM, WIXZ. It was the music we were introduced to by these great personalities . Ah yes, that good old rock n' roll. Who's to argue what the first rock n' roll record was? In my mind it was Bill Haley's "Rock Around The Clock". I must have been seven years old at a family reunion, when a cousin of mine took me to the rec room of Old Spang's Farm and kept putting nickels in the old Whurlitzer model 1015 juke box and playing that song. I had to run out the next day and buy it on a Decca 78.

From 1954 through the mid seventies a lot of great music came to pass. Radio stations today won't play that great music from the 50's and 60's because they are only interested in the 18 to 34 year old listeners. The almighty dollar wins. "That music is too old". Radio is run by the "consultant", who amounts to be the guy from out of town with the expensive suit that charges an arm and a leg and doesn't know how to tie his shoes, or as Jack Bogut said to me one day, a consultant is that guy who can tell you 99 ways to make love but doesn't' have a girlfriend.

Pittsburgh oldies are special due to the personalities that played them. Many of the songs never got played elsewhere.

We can and will always remember where we were and what we were doing when we heard Donnie Elbert singing "Have I Sinned" perhaps in the back seat of daddy's car at the Wexford Starlight Drive-in.
