Robert W. Morgan, KHJ HORR Hr.41, February 23, 1969 9AM-10AM (0:57:03)

… Hey Man – we can dance! …
[Description by Uncle Ricky]Following a five-hour break on Sunday morning, February 23, 1969, KHJ presented the 41st hour of the original History Of Rock And Roll between 9 and 10AM.
This hour was the first of two created for the Words And Music chapter of The History. Commercial announcements that may have been part of the original hour are not included.

This hour contains a few musical surprises and some hard-core rock, just perfect to awaken sleepy Boss Angeles on a Sunday morning. The recording was contributed by Norm Garr. Norm’s recordings are one generation from the masters, mixed for contestants who won a complete copy of the program.

Jerry Garcia, John Sebastian and Lou Adler are featured with commentary. Our host is Robert W. Morgan.

Welcome to the new ReelRadio!

This site is now operated by the North Carolina Broadcast History Museum. 

We want to thank the board of ReelRadio, Inc. for their stewardship since the passing of the founder Richard Irwin in 2018.  It has not been easy and they have maintained the exhibits for future generations to enjoy.

I met Richard Irwin, aka Uncle Ricky, when we were freshmen at East Carolina University.  We both had worked at local stations in our hometowns.  No one was more passionate about radio, especially Top 40 radio, than my friend Richard. 

Our goals with this site are to preserve the exhibits and make them available free of charge for people to enjoy.  Over time, we hope to add some airchecks to the site.  This will not happen immediately.  Time and resources will determine the future of new exhibits. 

Many thanks to the web folks at the Beasley Media Group for countless hours of work.  Again thanks to the board members of ReelRadio, Inc. for their faith in us. 

Richard Irwin’s hope was that his site would live on long after his passing. He said, “I hope REELRADIO will survive as my contribution to the ‘radio business’. The business is allowed to forget me, but the business should never forget the great era of radio that we celebrate here”.

We remember Richard and we thank him. If you enjoy this new site, we would appreciate a contribution. We hope you enjoy the new ReelRadio!
