RockRoll360 - American Revolution: Beginnings of Underground Rock Radio WBCN Pt. 1

Hello Everybody - I’m the new kid on the block. Podcasting from the
City Of Woonsocket, Rhode Island up here in New England.
I would like to say thanks to Uncleshag & Mike Pell for posting my shows on WLSO.FM.

What you’re going to find on this Podcast is an Eclectic intelligent rock, programmed by Michael J. Andrade.  Programming is a cross between
Classic Underground & AAA Radio format. You’ll find strange oddities whether it be sound bites, radio station I.D’s and jingles and comedy.

Sometimes there are a string of themed selections. Hopefully I can
keep the genuine expertise that Unc & Mike has and make you the audience keep coming back for more. Updates will most likely be on Tuesdays & Fridays

What else can I say? You will see I have a love for music 1929 through the years of 2009. I also have a love for radio - Especially the days of the classic Underground Rock Radio. So Enjoy, Pass, & Rock On.

I got to put aside the 360 Format for this one, because we are gonna visit the years 1968 & 1969 for the next 80 minutes with a program called An American Revolution. Here is a program I recorded way back off the airwaves March 15th,1988. WBCN was doing an anniversary show on the last 20 years BCN as we know it was on the air as a rock radio station. (Today its been 41 years and one month) Great stuff from this show which includes hippie laced radio commercials and of course the broadcast of the transition and first rock song played that night at 10PM.

A lot of great stories and clips and stories from the early days with Charles Laquidara ( your host & who was still on air with BCN in 1988 ) Tommy Hadges —– Joe Rogers aka. Mississippi Harold Wilson — Ken Shelton —- Eddie Gordesky Ron Della Chiesa —–Tammy Heidi —- Peter Wolf ——Frank Zappa —–Captain Squid —– Devine —– This show was originally broadcast and placed on cassette. I re-recorded / and segued the music from Cd’s to the original broadcast and put on to CD. Nobody likes that background hiss & static. The aircheck part of the show is really not that bad. Then I transfered to the MP3 format for this Podcast .

Music includes ::::: Crown Of Creation - Jefferson Airplane Itchycoo Park -The Small Faces I Feel Free - Cream Ballad Of A Thin Man - Bob Dylan Hurdy Gurdy Man - Donovan ( note to Charles >>>> Jimmy Page on Guitar not Jeff Beck ) Max Yasgur Going Up The Country - Canned Heat
Here’s a short story about WBCN’s beginings…. Before the middle 1960s, a radio station which was called WBCN played classical music exclusively. The call letters stood for the Boston Concert Network.

One of the on-air personalities at that time was Ron Della Chiesa, who also served as music host and program director. Della Chiesa is still active in classical music broadcasting on WGBH. The station slowly began to change to an ‘underground’ music format on the night of March 15, 1968. The first song played that evening to usher in the new format and slogan ‘American Revolution’ was “I Feel Free” by the rock group Cream. At first the new ‘ American Revolution’ format was only heard during the overnight hours, but by the summer of 1968 it encompassed the entire 24 hour programming day. As a part of their new format, WBCN began supporting non-mainstream investigative reporting and such novel concepts as a show oriented toward prison inmates, health warnings about the hazards of street drugs, and live updates on the traffic problems at Woodstock.
