I was a sophomore in high school, Los Gatos, CA. Lots of hours listening to our favorite radio station, KEWB. Bitchin'!!!

I started listening to KEWB in 1961, when I first moved from LA to SF ... transistor radio in bedroom ... a VERY different world!

You ain't lyin.

The audio quality sounds fantastic! This must have been recorded in KEWB's studio. There's no way someone recorded this from an AM radio.

My 2 transistor radio wouldn't pick up KEWB from Sunnyvale. So, around 1963, we went to PayLess and upgraded to an 8 transistor just to get it. "More" was my absolute favorite then and still love it.

"More" by Kai Winding. My favorite then and all time favorite to this day.

You suffered from the start with a measly 2-transistor? ROTFL! Most kids/tweens my age then started by '59-'60 with a good 6-transistor, and soon after '63, we got 8-transistors. They still sold 2-transistors in '63? BTW, the better instrumental that year (and there were some good ones, including "More") was "Our Winter Love" (#9 pop, #4 Easy Listening, #20 R&B; Mar. 1963) by Bill Pursell.

I have a 1963 Mercedes purchased in San Jose June 63 ❤❤❤ definitely gonna play this

On this day, 30 years later, I got married and live in the East Bay! The A’s were in Kansas City and referring to the American League as the “junior league” is hilarious. Thanks for the boss, groovy post Dave!

we listened to KFRC, KYA, KDIA & KEWB!

How about this ad from then? Don't cook tonight, call Chicken Delight!

The KEWB legal ID is now one of the stations in the 5 station cluster I work at.. cool to see the history of this ID

Can you explain a little more of what you mean by that statement?

Mays hit that homer in the 5th inning.Funny how the Liston-Paterson fights were called fiascos,a term that could be better applied to Liston's next two fights.

How come these old radio broadcasts sound better then today's c-rap music?

David Von Pein's JFK Channel Hey David. I was 7 years old but remember these days like yesterday. I so long for these days and the feel good innocence they had. Definitely the era of JFK and the innocence of the youth and Camelot. This was the final days of this feel and innocence in America. 64 was transitional.

@@DavidVonPeinJFK Damn right! ANYTHING (even '30s-40s Big Band swing music, or classical music pieces) were far better than rap-crap over the past 30+ years since 1990!

Bay Area Top 40 radio BEFORE KFRC. They were still trying to compete with KSFO.
