The authorities responded to the panicked calls of the public, but before they could apprehend him, the intruder slipped out the back door and into Rock and Roll History.

Pete is a native New Yorker born and raised 13 miles from NYC. in Mt.Vernon, hometown of Dick Clark ( and not surprisingly one of his inspirations). Pete grew up listening to Top40 radio of the 60s and early 70s,like radio stations WMCA,WINS,and WABC and legendary djs like "Cousin Brucie" Morrow and Murray the K.
Pete loves all types of music but being raised in an urban area, is partial to the classic soul and r&b sound. He re-creates that top40 sound using classic jingles and commercials.
The Sock Hop Soda Shoppe airs every Thursday at 9:00 PM EST, and Saturday Night at 8:00 PM EST.
Joey is a native of The Jersey Shore, and was bitten by the radio bug at the young age of five. Joey's broadcasting inspiration stemmed from the legendary days of top 40 radio stations in New York City. Joey's radio idol is The Legendary "Cousin" Brucie Morrow WABC-AM, WCBS-FM, and currently Sirius Satellite Radio.
Joey continued to work on his ultimate radio goal by doing personal broadcasts for family and friends while growing up, and also hosting many sock hops and parties.

Relics & Rarities airs every Saturday at 4 PM EST, Sunday at 1 PM EST & Wednesday at 10 PM EST.
There are plenty of "oldies but goodies" shows on the radio that like to countdown the hits. Dave the Rave's Relics and Rarities Show doesn't count down anything. because most of the tunes that Dave plays never hit the Top 40 or the Top 100. Dave the Rave combines cool hits with many of the songs that sound like they should have been a hit.
This doesn't mean that Dave is trying to play bad music, or simply trying to play obscure music simply for the sake of being obscure. Quite the opposite!
Dave the Rave is giving credit to music that deserve a second chance to be heard.
The 45's that simply fell through the cracks and will leave you scratching your heads in disbelief that what you just heard never became a Top 40 hit. Dave the Rave has spent countless hours searching for those hit sounding 45's that never entered into the Top 40 but had the sound potential to have done so. The show is very diverse in the music that it features.
You will hear soul, surf, garage, doowop, teeners, and instrumentals. Relics and Rarities loves to feature local hits, record store rarities, lost B-sides and original versions of Top 40 hits. Many of the 45's in his collection is the kind of music that you would be paying thousand's of dollars for in an old record store if you could even find the record.

My parents were not my favorite people growing up - sound familiar. We moved too many times - new cities, new friends, new radio stations. The last part turned out to be the best part of my early years. (thanks mom and dad).
This exposure to some of the best radio stations in America would later play an all important part in allowing me to share the music I heard growing up...with YOU. Hours and hours were spent playing the music - first as a musician and then later as a DJ, songwriter, Producer, etc, etc, etc.
The appreciation I have for what it takes...and what it took to create a song is what drove me to create my own programs.Sharing the secrets behind the songs...and blending together the music is my passion. I enjoy telling a story through a song or group of songs...and with that comes memories we have shared and experienced.
Hours and hours were spent playing the music - first as a musician and then later as a DJ, songwriter, Producer, etc, etc, etc.
Thanks for allowing me to share these slices of my musical memories. A special thanks to the players, singers, songwriters and producers who share my passion. I love Takin¹ Ya Back!

Larry was born in Chicago in the early 1960s, and practically from the point of birth , he had always had a happy ear for music, especially popular music. He remembers his mother playing Beatles records(and that means RECORDS ..VINYL!) when he was in the playpen.
As the 60s became the 70s, Larry carried his enthusiasm for pop music into a whole new ecstacy: American Top 40. Not a week would go by where Larry wasn’t glued to his favorite radio program listening to Casey Kasem’s every word..it was “heavenly”!. From 2004-2005 Larry produced and hosted a program called “The Strawberry Pop Show” on KFAI radio Minneapolis/St. Paul. The program attracted many listeners and(in Larry’s humble opinion) became a late night cult classic. The format featured many sights and sounds that Larry heard in his youth..and then some!"

Diane Townsley grew up in Westerville, Ohio. The head majorette and outgoing daughter of a Columbus firefighter, Diane fanaticized about being a disc jockey and often played interviewer with her brothers.
After high school, she attended Career Academy, in Columbus, Ohio to learn her trade. Although she graduated with high grades, she soon realized that radio stations in and around Columbus had never experienced a female DJ.
Her first job was at WBBY, “Golden Oldies” Radio, in Westerville, Ohio. Being told that local stations did not hire female DJ’s, she persevered with an idea. She went to a local advertiser and asked to produce the script and voice for their radio spots. Radio promos led to her own Sunday radio spot on WBBY, called “The Date With Diane Show”. Diane’s ratings allowed her to broadcast seven days a week, including the drive-time radio broadcast.
Diane later taught others radio and TV broadcasting at Career Academy and played host on a Saturday children’s TV show called “Jakes Place”. She earned national recognition as one of the first female Disc Jockeys in America, being highlighted in several magazines.
Her “Date With Diane Show” features songs, listener requests, interviews and background information for music of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Her trademark goal is to “put a smile on your face and a lot of love in your heart”.
