Hi, I’m Gene Stevens – and here’s what’s coming up on the next ‘Vintage Favourites’…
It’s ‘the vintage year – 1948’… the birth of Israel, the assassination of Gandhi, the Berlin Blockade and the airlift to save a city … plus one of the most surprising wins in US election history when Harry Truman upset the favoured Thomas Dewey – despite what the Chicago Tribune prematurely printed.
Record buyers had new choices with the 45 rpm single, and the long-playing 33 and a third rpm album making their debuts …
All that and birthday salutes to Joni Mitchell and Neil Young … on the next ‘Vintage Favourites’ – this Sunday at 2, from Zoomer Radio.
