Re: [FWDLK] What plays on old AM radios

[Rich Barber <c300@xxxxxxx>]

I recently purchased a CD with old AM radio R&R disc jockey shows on it.  Let me tell you, it doesn’t seem at all as cool as it did then.  R&R didn’t really start rockin’ until 1956, although Bill Haley and his Comets recorded Rock Around the Clock in 1954, it was still the top R&R song in 1955.  It took Elvis to really set the R&R radio shows on fire.

 

I have also seen drive-in movie speakers converted to radio speakers, set on poles outside the car.  This is a cool idea that avoids chopping up the old radio.

I often had this thought that it would be cool if I were at a car show with the ’55 and turned on the radio and it started playing songs and DJ and show names like they would have been in the 50s; sort of Twilight Zone stuff.  I bet some electronics whiz could make it work the same way that XM radio transmits to FM radios in the car.
