Welcome To the Home of

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.

25
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'! |

Still having some technical issues
at CKCU, May 3rd's broadcast of the New Colony Six didn't get a
complete airing. Check out the whole show right here. |
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. |
