Wake up in 1980 this weekend as Those Were The Days remembers a Spring season of great music from the likes of Boz Scaggs,  J. Geils Band,  Bob Seger, The Clash, and Reo Speedwagon.  We will be taking your rock and roll requests from the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's on Those Were The Days.  Join us for the rock and roll party.  It should be a great weekend for camp fires.  Those Were The Days on WRCO FM 100.9 sounds even better under the stars.

Those Were The Days will remember Donna Summer this weekend.  She dominated the charts from 1975 through the early 80's.  I am sad to say that there was more sad news this week about a legendary performer.

Those Were The Days began on October 12th 1986.  We now currently play songs that were new when the show started!  The show is a Top 40 variety show which features music from 1954 through 1989.  I began collecting records in 1971.  My first 45 was 'Have You Seen Her?' by the Chi-Lites.  I love to share my collection each week and its really great when someone makes me dig out something that we have never played before.  It is amazing to say it still happens after all of these years!   We do play a few album cuts that may have not been released as singles to radio over the years.  A great number of local records have made our airwaves as well.  Richland Centers' own Vilas Craig and the Vicounts and the Madison based band Clicker are among the most requested.   We do get a few requests for Country songs from time to time.  Our rule of thumb is that the song had to have made the Top 40 or Pop charts for us to play it on Those Were the Days.  That is why  you might hear some early Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, or a comedy record by Ray Stevens.  The request line number is 608 647-4155.  You can also email a request or dedication to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Happy Trails.
