The Over 40s Club meeting

^ How about family hour, period? 8 pm meant family viewing programs. No longer!

Anyone from the Nu Yawk area? Back in the 60s I'd lay in bed listening to an AM radio station (correct me if i am wrong, we only had AM then, right?). There was a DJ who did the late night program...he had this great voice and he took dedications. And he always played the same song every night when he closed the show...it's killing me trying to remember the name of the song. In fact, one of the American Idol runners-up did it and nailed it big time. A jazzy thing, very difficult to sing. Of course i can't remember the contestant's name either!!!!

Kids. This is your brain on drugs. I can't remember shit anymore.

Cousin Brucie or Wolfman Jack?
 
^ Definitely wasn't Wolfman Jack. Pretty sure it wasn't Brucie either. Thanks for trying!! I googled 60s am radio djs and couldn't find it.

EDIT: Definitely wasn't Brucie.
 
^ Brucie? Isn't he that guy who showed up on B5 once (in "War Without End II" as the B4 first officer)? Kind of looks like Darkseid? :D
 
Ok, after spending way too much time on this i got a few more facts:

The AI contestant who sang the song that closed out this DJ's nightly show was Elliot Yamin, and the song he sang was "Moody's Mood For Love".

The DJ would close out his show with the original version of this (i believe it was anyway).


EDIT!!!!!!!! GOT IT!!!!!! Frankie Crocker!!!!!!!

The only DJs I can think of would be Dan Ingram and Ron Lundy. Don't know how much help that is.

Seriously, for someone who worships New York as much as you do, it's pretty sad that you only know Cousin Brucie as "that guy who showed up on B5 once"
:rolleyes:
 
I remember when we just had AM radio.

Want a laugh? Our "teen" station was KQV (Pittsburgh) and one of the DJs was Rush Limbaugh. I listened to the station and occasionally, as teen girls did back then, called the DJs to chitter-chatter.

But I don't remember him, even though it's possible that I spoke with him back then. I remember his predecessor Jim Quinn though.

Funny to think the guy so many hate now was just spinning disks back when I was a young teen. :D

AM radio, and if conditions were just right at night, chances were one could pick up signals from a station hundreds of miles away. That was always a lot of fun, listening to shows and DJs, from another area, that were always better than local fare.
 
Sunday night was family night, no matter where one lived in the US, when everyone sat down to watch The Wonderful World of Disney. Sometimes, it was an old Disney movie broken into two parts and other times it was a a series of cartoons -- Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Chip & Dale, etc.

Yep.

We had family dinner first, then to the living room for TWWOD. There was also a Bill Cosby show back then, that we all watched together.

Well technically no you don't since it was invented in the thirties and began commercially in 1941. Unless you look DAMN good for your age I'll presume you meant before FM took off i the late 60's/early 70's.:lol:

But yeah I remember too when it was not uncommon to buy transistor radios that only had the AM band.
 
This won't mean anything to anyone who didn't live in Omaha, but:

Tornado

1975 was not a good year for this city. In January we had the blizzard, then two weeks before my birthday the tornado came....

And now it's getting hard to find modern portable devices that include AM support.
 
You bought, or had your parents buy, any of that crap K-Tel sold on TV. I never could get that damned snow block maker to make blocks of snow so we could build walls.

You watched the BEST morning show EVAR -- Captain Kangaroo.

Old school shag carpet and appliances came in Harvest Gold.
 
My mom and dad's avacado green kitchen fridge and range only went away last year when they built a new house and sold the one I grew up in! The appliances were 100 years old and all worked just fine! Mom called last month because her BRAND NEW fridgy died - still under warranty too - she raised heck about it and got a new one. But really - a fridge that won't last a year? UTTERLY DISGUSTING!
