Stan Wall and Porky

Posted by tlsound on October 3, 2008 at 10:06 PM

After all these years, I have had a conversation with Stan Wall who has been my friend for almost 50 years.  Stan owns WLSW 103.9 FM and is going to start to run my Music for Young Lovers show on Saturday nights from 10 - midnight.  This is the same show that ran in syndication across the country 20 years ago but has never been heard in Pittsburgh.  It will be fun to have the radio show back on the air again in Pittsburgh.  After all these years, I'm thankful there is still an interest in it.  I am also putting my record collection on CDs and will have them available soon.  I am still working on the book and  have pulled hundreds of photographs from dances, concerts, TV shows,recording studios, bands, and other events from the 60s and 70s,including a Three Rivers concert that Porky Chedwick and I did together which featured acts like Chuck Berry, the Shirelles, Skyliners, and others.

Speaking of Porky, sometime in the early 70s, (I can't remember the exact time because the tape is not dated), I had Porky come to the WIXZ studios on a Saturday night, and for 4 hours, he was my guest on the air and we did my show together.  It was one of the best nights I've ever had on the radio, and to this day is one of my fondest memories because, like many Pittsburgh area residents of our generation, I too can remember listening to Porky on WAMO in my car when I was 16 years old.  He was an inspiration to me then, and still is today.

I'm also glad our mutual friend, Stan Wall, has the broadcast outlet for you to share some music that many folks have missed for a very long time. Best of luck! <br> <br>I'd love to hear the show you did with Porky! Spoke to him just last week, in fact. <br> <br>Ed Weigle <br>Sarasota, Florida

I hope that you include in your book the story of how you got started in the business. I remember in high school how you practiced being a DJ in your basement, which was considered by most of us to be rather bizarre behavior. But you had a dream and you made it happen. That's impressive. I would like to use you as an example to my grandchildren. if you're still in Phoenix, let's get together. Wednesday is Pierogi Day at Pittsburgh Willy's.
