First Of May, 1969

Wow what a trip through the Time Tunnel takin' us back to May First, 1969! Jingles, commercials, and even actual recordings of a CKLW jock from back in the day. Not to mention over 3 dozen 45s on the charts 40 years ago this week. Thanks for indulging my AM radio DJ passion; the phone lines were burnin' up, as they say, and I couldn't even answer every call. You guys are the best! Missed something?:

Email me at lostoldies@yahoo.com to let me know your thoughts. We'll be doin' 1969 again the first week of June but next week, May 8, it's Lost And Found Sixties. Requests considered.

Finally, you must know I was just jonesin' to play the Bee Gees' "First Of May" since the single DID peak on the charts 40 years ago this week and, hey it was the First Of May. But seeing that the amazing Peter Clark chose THAT for his second song on his "Orphanage Of Rock And Roll" show Thursday night, I had to make other plans. In its place was a recording of the same song sung by ex-spouses Lulu and the Maurice Gibb recorded in 2002. Hope you enjoyed.

THANKS FOR LISTENING!!
