Cruisin' With Porky Chedwick CD

 Grew up with Porky
I grew up in my teen years with Porky on the radio. He played all the "Golden Oldies" It was great to go to a dance that Porky was at and hear the good tunes. This CD brings back a lot of good memories of the '50's. We had a good time in the 'burgh with good music.

 Remember 50's radio???
Late in the 1950's FM radio was new. It featured lots of boring stuff for teens, like talk shows and Classical music. Then Pittsburgh got WAMO radio!! It was Rock and Roll as we liked it. Lots of performers & groups (i.e. Black acts)who were seldom played on am radio. WAMO gave us those tunes presented by the "Daddy-o of the Radio", Porky Chedwick. Finally, the greatest Doo Wop and R&B songs broadcast for us to hear! Porky added his own fun talk and locally produced commercials which often featured performances by some of the same artists (the Skyliners, the Del Vikings and the Marcels). How could we forget great sponsors such as: Mission Beverage, Bruno's Sunoco, Abreola Brothers Auto Parts and the Woodland Drive-in Theatre? CRUISIN' WITH PORKY CHEDWICK recreates those radio shows with "the Bossman, Porky" or "Pork the Tork" ("I've got more lines than the phone company") on microphone and the same commercials between great oldies. This CD is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Try to explain it to your kids.
