Now at 67 years old I often wonder where the time went. These memories comfort me greatly and make me wish Doc Brown were here so I could take a trip back to the fifties and maybe correct some of the mistakes I have made. Detroit memories allows me to go back home free of charge and many times it brings me to tears. The air checks I listen to reminds me of the wonder days at Ferndale High School and the memories of Mr. Burkhart and the rest of the faculty. What”s more, the music was so much better in the fifties and the sixties…….no rap junk! Thank you again for making me feel so good.

Cerise Karpinski: Hey Jeff!!!!!! Just looked you up & wondered what you were up to these days? Not sure if you are working in Detroit or Battle Creek. Anyhoo, Give me a holler Pugo!!!!! BYE E EYE

Many times I would til j mike ended his shift just to talk and watch him work, he was amazing and with Rodney the rodent, fantastic. I was sorry.to see him leave for Detroit, when he left and Tom Griffiths took over the 6-10am went south. Shows what true talent can do.

Lisa: I miss the music, hosts and the fact it wasn’t programmed selections, something different all day long. Wish it would come back…. and am sure I’m not alone in this!

Kevin Mangold: Anyone else enjoy the Stroh’s commercials from the 60s and 70s? I remember one where the off-screen announcer is singing the praises of the product when this lunch-bucket everyman asks “What is this fire-brewin’ business?” Then there are the ones where Thom Sharpe is seen staggering through the desert; coming up to two guys in an oasis, who offer water, he asks instead for an ice-cold Stroh’s beer! (There goes a real beer lover)…

Bob Green: WOW what a wonderful treat to see this posting! And to see a full show and how deftly Robin handled it…terrific.

Cindy Elliott: Thanks so much for this picture, K.O. is my dad.. Miss him

Ernie: This looks horrible! Everyone looks like they’ve been embalmed. Leave the classics alone!!

comments images 6PXXIV47Larry Mischel: Hello Motor City Radio Flashbacks, Your efforts have paid off BIG TIME. I’ve met George Griggs and he’s not only a great guy he’s very dedicated. I don’t know who else is involved in this but I applaud the whole crew. Fantastic resource. I’ve been glued to the radio since the Eisenhower era and thanks to the music I remain young at heart. Let me also thank all of the wonderful disc jockeys that brought the music to us. Recently I’ve been trading memories with Kim Sulek (who’s working on a book documenting Detroit radio in the 1960′s and 1970′s) and he noted that the D.J.’s should be considered artists right along side the musicians. I couldn’t agree more. Thank you, Larry Mischel

Tom Campbell: Does anyone remember a dj at WLBS with the first name of Keith, during the same period that Terri McCormick was on? BTW, Terri is working at 95.5 FM in Austin TX.

Larry Mischel: Hello to my fellow Detroit radio fans, The site is AMAZING. I really like what it’s become. You can spend years navigating all of the wonderful Detroit memories. This city was and is really something. The 1962 aircheck labeled Fred Wolf is actually Paul Winter. This is the unscoped 30 minute tape. I know for sure because this came from the old Aircheck Factory through myself. It’s a great piece of 1962. Take care, Larry Mischel

Mickey Clanton: Can you find and publish something on the WCHB AM Summer of 1969 Citywide Talent show at the Fox?
