Oh WOW!! Ghoulardi, Mr. Jingaling,, Barnaby as well as others in this video brings back fond memories to this 70 year old who spent his first 14 years in the Cleveland area. Thanks!

Well done, so many memories and memorial people. During the 50’s and 60’s Cleveland radio was the home of rock and roll, if it was popular, in Cleveland, it usually became a national hit.
