Pittsburgh Rocked My World - Part 1


Listen Later

Well? It was the first world I ever knew--I knew what radio and records were real early on, but what I didn't know was that a whole bunch of stuff I was hearing on the radio started in practically my own backyard! And I didn't know how good I had it 'til I left it in the mid/late 80s. But I'm here to tellya, there's  so much great 'Burgh music--way more than I remembered at first--that it'll need to be in two episodes. This episode, "Pittsburgh Rocked My World, Part 1" covers 1955 to about 1980--and Part 2 will pick up with the early 80s until about the mid ought-teens, in episode 9. The Youtube complete playlist has 64 videos--the first 32 are from artists covered in this episode, and the other 32 are for Episode 9. All this and more, hailing from the most beautiful shot-and-a-beer kinda  town in the USA. I'm officially homesick now.  I've never even sat in Heinz Field or PNC Park yet!!  (sniff) #hometownproud
