I doubt if many of you will remember these songs from the Golden Days of rock-n-roll radio.
It was, after all, 59 years ago, 1961, at KCJB Radio in Minot, North Dakota.
It wasn't the birthing ground of my broadcasting career.
I had actually started out at KEYJ in Jamestown, North Dakota, while attending college.
Or, some would say, as a 15 year old ham radio operator while still in high school.
But this was where legend set in and I became "Bruce on the Loose"!
Actually Bruce on the Loose only reigned until 10:00, then a half hour of news, weather, sports, and I became the Franklin McCormack* of northwestern North Dakota, playing romantic ballads and speaking in a dulcet tone until midnight.
Ah, those were the days.
*McCormack was the romantic radio voice of Chicago radio on WBBM and WGN. And I copied him.
