In the previous post I wrorte that Chicago's New Colony Six band, had the #33 song on the WLS Silver Dollar Survey for July 15, 1966.
Go to You Tube and look this up full program especially if you are not knowing about the 1960s Chicago rock scene. Our two super stations, both pushing out 50,000 watts (and you could gear it in most of the United States at night), really pushed the local talent.
It is 27 minutes of all sorts of information and facts as well as music clips.
Those stations were WLS 890 AM and WCFL 1000 AM. This tells you about the bands and the radio stations.
It was great growing up in the Chicago suburbs and hearing our local talent. Plus, the groups often played high school hops, plus night clubs like the Cellar in Arlington Heights.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
