1960s music

Tonight on the show, some Folk Music from the 1950s and 1960s from the Folk Revival Era.

Tonight, we celebrate 60 years of the Beatles first American appearance with 60 minutes of Beatles love songs, just in time for Valentine's Day.

Here is the Beatles/Ohio Connection that we referred to, from the Award-winning local podcast Ohio vs. the World (hosted by Alex Hastie) from 2022: https://ohiovtheworldpodcast.com/2022/06/06/episode-3-when-beatlemania-t...

For our 450th show, we are paying tribute to the late Award-winning composer, Burt Bacharach (1928-2023) with two hours of his music, his sound. His partnership with lyricist Hal David (1921-2012) from 1957 to 1973 was instrumental as part of the 1960s sound (along with John Lennon & Paul McCartney, and Lamont Dozier and Brian & Eddie Holland, among composing teams). Bacharach won Oscars and Grammys for his music, which included the Oscar-winning "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and the Tony winning musical "Promises, Promises".

Tonight on the show, a trip back into the time machine to 1960. The Winter and Summer Olympic Games, along with the Presidential Debates were televised coast-to-coast. Four Black College Students in North Carolina sat at a Woolworth's, sparking the fight for equality in the early 1960s. And THE Ohio State B*ckeyes won the NCAA Basketball Tournament.

1961. A charismatic wealthy politician takes office as President. Turmoil in Cuba. Turmoil in Berlin. Freedom Riders down South. Riots on the Ohio State Campus (because the University didn't want their spoiled little B*ckeyes to go to the Rose Bowl. Yeah, it did happen, and they still found a way to win a National Championship, despite the fact they didn't play in a Bowl Game). That was the year that was.
