The 1960s was the defining decade for a generation we call “The Zoomers” – many came of age in that decade, and helped shape history. It was the time of anger and despair, hope and possibilities, assassinations, war and rioting, as well as bold brave crusades for civil rights, the environment and the peace movement. We danced the twist, surfed the endless summer, wore long hair and mini-skirts, tie-died shirts and mod clothes.

The music was everything – from Bob Dylan and The Beatles to Motown, San Francisco, London’s Carnaby Street and Toronto’s Yorkville. In Toronto Robbie Lane and The Disciples were one of the city’s top bands, and now, decades later, Robbie Lane continues the rock’n'roll tradition – he plays the clubs weekends, and he spins the tunes every weeknight on “The Sixties at Six”, sponsored by The Old Mill Inn and Spa.

We load about 100 songs into AM740’s All Night Jukebox — we press Play — and take care of the coins too! So all you do is stay tuned in and enjoy, while you’re working late, reading or counting sheep.

The only X-rated show on radio – unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere on AM, FM, satellite, or on-line radio – this is unique, this is naughty, this is occasionally downright-dirty; it’s funny and fascinating; it’s a world of music you may have never heard before. Songs from the 1930s and 40s that were never played on radio, and more recent songs teetering ‘on the edge’. It’s not for everyone, but if it’s for you – join me for “Midnight Blues”!

Romance, passion and fantasy take flight amid the special and unique love songs carefully selected by Toronto’s own diva of romance — Ziggy…from romantics of all ages, Chet Baker, Julie London, and Jimmy Durante, to Leonard Cohen, Van Morrison, and Amy Winehouse.

Music Director Brian Peroff celebrates the happy teenage years of the rock’n'roll generation in the 1950s and 60s…with Elvis, Buddy, Fats and Jerry Lee…The Beatles and Beach Boys…Roy Orbison, Ricky Nelson and Brenda Lee.

A top 5 countdown every week, a featured artist and a half-hour of Elvis Presley at 9:00pm.

So many listeners asked for, even demanded, that we extend the number of hours dedicated to the old radio shows, that we’ve done just that! Brian Peroff selects, and then describes some of the greatest shows from the golden age of radio — the 1930s and 1940s — like The Shadow and Fibber McGee & Molly. A half-hour of drama, mystery or suspense is followed by a half-hour of comedy — enjoy!
