60 YEARS AGO TODAY:

11/24/63 – Jack Ruby shoots and kills Lee Harvey Oswald, the man accused of assassinating President Kennedy, as he is walked through a basement hallway en route to another holding cell

Thank you for posting about tomorrow's Rewound Radio Very Special Larry Lujack DJ Hall Of Fame tribute, Kent.  It is excellent coverage.  

Tommy Edwards and Fred Winston both did great things for us ... Tommy is opening and closing the show, and Fred helped with production of IDs and promos.

Allan Sniffen set up a special feed of promos that are running in a loop.  It includes a four minute sample of what you will be hearing on Saturday ... from KNEW to WRL, Real Oldies 1690.

I have been working on this project for several weeks now with Bill Shannon and Steve Brelsford.  The Rewound Radio DJ Hall of Fame, in remembrance of the 10th Anniversary of Larry Lujack's passing, airs this coming Saturday after Thanksgiving (11/25).  We will be saluting Superjock with this special internet radio event on RewoundRadio.com from Noon - 6 pm Eastern / 11 am - 5 pm Central.  (You might even hear a couple of Animal Stories!)

Hi Kent!!

Will "Your kindly and delightful ole Uncle Lar' be exchanging Animal Stories with Lil' Tommy?" 😂 

Rich Silverman 

You betcha ... probably at least two or three times!

I like the fact that we'll get to hear Larry BEFORE he came to Chicago and really hit the big time ... plus, of course, WLS, WCFL, WUBT (The Beat) and WRLL (Real Oldies), after which he signed off for good.  (kk)

And, if you're looking for something to listen to TONIGHT:

Hello Kids:

Tune in to WMSE at 6 PM tonight to hear Dewey's Basement Show.

We will be doing a JFK 60 year tribute, playing the Top 40 Hits on the day he was assassinated. Interesting what the culture was then and how soon it would change. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

And, of course, we just ran our first Super Chart yesterday, spotlighting the biggest songs across the country for this week in ’63.  

(Look for a brand new Super Chart tomorrow in Forgotten Hits ...

As we bring back The Saturday Surveys!!!)  kk
