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.
