The Nostalgia Thread

[BillsPride12]

This thought for a nostalgia thread was inspired by this post I saw on X earlier today that immediately took me back to Summertime in the 90s in WNY...

 

Keep it going...post anything Nostalgia related.  A regular post with stories or memories are fine but pictures or videos are encouraged!

 

Alright one more post from me to get this thread off and running...The shot over Ehlo 36 years ago today!

Listening to WKBW radio in the late ‘60’s was my introduction to top 40 radio. FM radio wasn’t a thing. I couldn’t do it justice explaining just how great a summertime experience listening to ‘KB was. If you listened then you know.
 

It was a premier powerhouse rock-n- roll station up and down the east coast.

They put out “KB Klassics” albums with all the hits. I also remember listening to the premiere of Wings’ “Admiral Halsey” and on a quiet loop beneath the song was “A KB Exclusive”.
 

Also remember the competition to pick a new nighttime DJ, eventually won by Shane Brother Shane. 
 

That station was king.

I could prattle on and rattle off so much about ‘KB from that time in my life. Would think quite a few in here “lived it”.
 

My first call-in request: ‘Venus’ by Shocking Blue.

Supermodels definitely used to be a big thing back in the day......  I thought she seemed the prettiest and sweetest

They also had vocalists wend the station ID into intros of songs.  Maddening. 🤨

I'm nostalgic for the Ridgeway Ontario of 30 years ago.  It's amazing the number of homes that have gone into the area in recent years.
