Blast from Your Past is a book series and site-full of memories. Mine, yours, anyone else's of our era I talk with ... mostly as a legacy for pioneering Rock & Roll Radio DJs. Let's face it - Rock & Roll Rescued RadioTM in the mid-Fifties - let's explore how that happened!
You can't talk about early Radio Disc Jockeys without recalling the
events, fashions, and att-i-tudes that shaped the music and our lives. 1954 - 1979
were the magical years for Rock Radio. At Blast from Your Past, I hope
to entertain and reminisce with you, as we remember what was and how it
continues to influence what is.
