July 1984-July 2009
Celebrating 25 years of Groovy sounds
A radio program devoted to the music and memories from the 1960's. The Sixties is not your typical "oldies show" - It mainly focuses on the lesser known and obscure bands from that influential decade. You'll hear band profiles, theme shows and your own requests. The show has been part of the lineup on Canada's oldest community radio station CKCU-FM 93.1 in Ottawa since 1984 and is still going strong.
You can listen LIVE both in MP3 Stream in Stereo or with REALAUDIO.
Tune In Every Sunday Night at 8 pm
Let the music be heard.
Next Request Show: Sunday, July 12th

years is fast approaching! Yes, beleive or not, It's been almost 25 years that we've been celebrating the 60's decade - aaaand loving it! We've been bringing you some of the best of the music from that decade, and continue to unearth gems that got little or no airplay in their time that deserve to be heard. This July marks The Sixties 25th Anniversary and I hope you can celebrate right along with us. The best way is to keep on listening and sending in your great requests. Keep on Tunin'! |

| Looking for vintage
radio Surveys/Charts: One of the recurring features on the 1960's is our radio chart spotlights-where we focus on a vintage radio chart from a variety of regions across Canada. I'm searching for any of these charts-and am willing to pay $2 per chart(plus postage). I'm especially searching for Ottawa charts from CFRA and CKOY-which include the Swingset, CPMI, & CMN charts. I'm also looking for the weekly national RPM charts. If you have any of these and would be willing to copy or part with them, please E-Mail me. |

Vintage Videos Of The Week: Questionmark & The Mysterians doing a Lip Sync of "96 Tears" on Dick Clark's "Where The Action Is" Horrible quality, I know, but we can only hope this stuff makes it out onto DVD someday while we're still around to enjoy it. ....and for something completely different... Questionmark is selling his tour bus. Yes, he's really doing it. His house burned down and he needs the cash, but the video is a hoot! Forget Ozzy, Simmons & Bonaduce - "?" needs his own TV series! |
