Why don't we have a lakefront party one Saturday or Sunday when it warms up. We can all meet out there and have a bbq. Anyone interested?


That is an excellent idea. It would be AWESOME!!! We would have to get there kind of early to claim a spot. The lakefront sure has changed, as has the music scene and everything else, but if we get there early and have enough people we could rock the place out like the old days....

I'm in!!

Maybe we should plan it for "Johnny Gras"

[yleekiyote]

Oh the looks on those punks faces when we are blasting Zebra tunes over gangster rap........Back To The Beach!!!!!

What we should do is have a party and have Randy perform out there. People may stop by and hear his music and who know's, we may make some new friends. We could probably rent out a little spot and do a bbq or something, have VIP passes for everyone who donates money to buy all the stuff. Set up some volleyball nets, play some softball. This should be on it's own post huh?

You always got a lollipop when you went to the doctor.

You spoke to a real person when you called a customer service center.

A Carvel ice cream cone was only 50 cents.

TV Guide was 10 cents.

What you paid for a house in 1979 was what you pay for an average car today.

Not having to x-ray Halloween candy

You would die if you got a bad scratch in an LP.

Catching fire flys in a mayonnaise jar.

Jumping rope ( I was an expert at it, now, after having 3 kids I just wet my pants when I jump rope. How sad is that?)

You rode your bike everywhere, without a helmet, and your parents never knew where you were. They were just happy that you were out riding your bike.

Remember real cars?? real style. I went to the auto show with Bobby G and his mini G, and I saw an old (I beleive early 70's) El Camino. I had a 77 my senior year in 199o (something) and it was rusted out as hell, engine never siezed up, no oil leakes, only repairs ever needed were alternator and brake callipers. Even I could, ( a17 yr old girl) work on the damn thing! It had no exhaust from the y-pipe back, loud and fast, posse rear, the poor body gave out because I was jumpin tracks, put the seat through the floor boards. LOL The engine and rear-end are still alive to day in an old classmates car ( the fourth vehicle he installed them in since the buriel of my camino in 1993. :(

All the new cars look like neon injection molded over-priced piles of crap.

oh... the commodore comment. I had a vic 20! LOL

[macca]

Remember FULL service gas stations(and the NICE prices?)?

Cars......yep, I wish I had been more "mechanically inclined" when growing up. To this day, my favorite "retro" car was a Mustang circa 1964-66. After seeing the *new* ones(I know...the body is modeled after the 67-68), it made me want one even more. If I had the money(and could find a suitable body for restoration), the first thing I'd have to do is put the false trunk in the puppy cause in the original, the gas tank was part of the trunk! Damn unleadded gas. Ruined muscle cars!

Yeah Night Flight was very cool What is Lisa doing now? remember all the good djs on the radio? Warren the over night guy on WRNO was THE MAN!

[78 zebra man]

worked a bunch of overnights back then and warren was the ultimate dj. never had to touch the dial as long as he was on the air!!!!!! :)
i think he was at the st.christophers show this summer, at least it looked like him.

[macca]

Yep, those guys were a bunch of characters. I wonder if he was listening to the same thing we were during "album hour". One night, he played some God-awful album, and at the end of side 1 he said(in heavy drugged voice)......Yeah.....that was side 1......wasn't that some groovy stuff? Me thinks the DJ took a *break* while that was playing!

Back then, things were great. You could call up a station and ACTUALLY get a song played!

[Eddie S]

Your so right Macca....there's one remember Album Hour everyone everywhere had a station that played the new releases at midnight

94.5 KSMB (here in Lafayette) played classic rock
107.9 classic rock
Now they are playing hip-hop, rap, top 40...... :mad:
Didn't 92.3 (in New Orleans) play classic rock???

Remember clackers.....drove my parents nuts. LOL....

[76_Bestbanker]

Captain Humble (Hugh Dillard) on WRNO.
WRNO Worldwide. I think the first attempt to go satellite. Joe Costello (RIP) took RNO shortwave but he also bought space on a sat ('81). One of only three stations in the US to go worldwide. He thought he could market it to the military but had a problem getting receiving hardware built. Here we are 25 years later and sat radio is just now getting afforable with good equipment. Joe was a visionary. Unfortunately Joe passed away broke and insane in an institution.
