Palisades - Valentine's Day Dance

Posted by tlsound on December 22, 2009 at 10:25 AM

When I first came to McKeesport in early 1964, the very first dance that I did was at the Palisades. Since I am returning to the Greater Pittsburgh area for the first time in over 22 years, many venues were suggested for my first appearance, but the Palisades has always held sentimental value to me, so that is where I will appear for the first time, on Saturday, February 13 for a special Valentine's Music for Young Lovers Dance. In the early days of 1964, one of the first people that I met when I arrived in McKeesport was Rich Antoncic. As time went by, Rich ended up working for me at some of my dances like Redd's Beach. He has been a good friend through all the years, and I have invited him to be with me on February 13 at the Palisades. In 1966, when I was operating the TL Nite Train, we would take 35mm slides of the audience and the entertainers, and the following week, we would show the slides on the walls. Pack rat that I am, I have saved all the slides, and at the Palisades that night, we are going to recreate the slide shows from the TL Nite Train. I am looking forward to doing this dance, and hope you will join us for a night of music and memories.


New Year's Eve Special: For the second year in a row, Stan Wall at WLSW has asked me to do a New Year's Eve show. Last year's show was two hours long; the show this year will be five hours long, from 7-midnight. Hope you enjoy it.

Terry, do you know if the New Years show will be accessible on the internet for those of us Pittsburghers who moved away for career, jobs, etc.. Would love to tune into this broadcast from out here in Silicon Valley, CA.

Long live the 60s, WMCK, and the TL Sound....

Therere a lot of us in Pittsburgh that would also like to know if the five hour show will be ''Streamed'' on the internet or be made available for purchase at a later date, WLSW 's signal is hard to receive in the Burg. Ron S.

Bill, I looked up the radio station on the net, doesn't look like they have net streaming yet. Need to contact them directly to be sure.
Long live the 60s, WMCK, and the TL Sound....

Hi Terry,
It's been years since we talked, back when I was with The Daily News in McKeesport. I'm looking forward to being at The Palisades on the 13th. See you there.

I am so looking forward to the Valentines's Dance @ The Palisades. I had several TL Music For Young Lovers albums. I have fond memories of listening to the TL sound on 1360. What a perfect Venue and Day to bring back those magic moments once again.
