Disc-O-Ten, Tell Us Your Favorite Oldies

I am sure you all remember the Disc-O-Ten t.v.show from our youth.
I and reps.from many other schools have sought to acquire a copy
of our class' appeareance on the show for presentation at our
respective reunions or other functions.

Below is a response from Gene Loving(WGH)to my inquiry about
obtaining a copy for our reunion. As you may recall he,
along with Dick Lamb, hosted Disc-O Ten.

Edward, sounds like you are putting a lot of work into the reunion,
trying to make it special for your former classmates and friends.
I would love to direct you to a copy of any Disc-O-Ten show,
but they have all faded away.

In those days the tape machines were giant,
the tape was 2 ins wide and a reel of tape weighed about 20 pounds.
WAVY did not copy any of the few shows they had once the
personal size recorders appeared.

Someone told me they have a small clip that they played on air at
a WAVY 50th anniversary show but that is all I know about.
You could try contacting WAVY. Have a fun event. regards, gene

Mr.Loving is currently CEO of Max Media LLC which acquires, builds and
operates television and radio stations throughout the United States.

That he took the time to respond to our request in less than 24 hrs was,
to me, quite impressive.

That clip he mentioned that WAVY showed at it's anniversary is highly
unlikely to be the show we were on.

So,class,you can help make our reunion in August a success by suggesting songs from 1965 to 1970 that you would like to hear played at the event. Click the comments link at the end of this post and leave the name of the songs and the artists. If you cant remember the artist, that's o.k.

Also, if by chance you have an old cassette of a DJ's radio broadcast from that era it would lend a bit of nostalgia that would go over quite well. You will be given credit for your contribution.
Credit. Not a check!

Here is a link to a very interesting article regarding the economy,
and why things are the way they are.
