KUWS hosts Winter Dance Party anniversary program...

Just one more thing about the 50th anniversary of the Winter Dance Party Tour held at the Duluth Armory 50 years ago this Saturday (see previous posts)....

I'm scheduled to join an on-air conversation with some folks who, along with me, were there that evening 50 years ago at the Duluth Armory. I'll be recording a session tomorrow that will air on Friday at 5 PM (Final Edition program) on KUWS  (91.3 on your FM dial or live stream at www.kuws.fm  on the web). We'll be reminiscing and sharing some lore about Duluth's connection to rock 'n roll history. Be sure to tune in as who knows who'll join us in this on air conversation. Bob Dylan attended that event at the Armory 50 years ago and, just maybe....well, tune in and find out.

If you want to learn more about all the hype involved with the now famous Buddy Holly rock 'n roll tour of 50 years ago, click on this NY Times link to learn about the coming invasion of Clear Lake Iowa, the last stop before "the music died."
