Things Id like to say was playing on the radio when I was in Navy boot camp late 68 and early 69. We had a radio in the barracks that we could have on a few hours a day...our only entertainment and outside news source. I remember this song so well and when I hear it takes right back to boot camp in San Diego......such a great song.......

Yeah, Things I’d Like to Say was a great song from the past at a great age, too-15. Reminds me of the great times in Chicago going to the dances with our Friends, buying our favorite 45 records like this, going to the beach & carrying our transistor radios everywhere listening to WLS AM & having the time of your life as a teenager. Used to luv the song I Confess, too. We had so many great garage bands that made it big from Chicagoland. Miss the old days.

There's something really cool & down to earth about a 60's star or band being interviewed many years later who share their journey & personal memories . I'm 68, & remember like it was yesterday how much I dug "Things I'd Like To Say" when I first heard it - still do. I found listening to Ronnie Rice to be most delightful & very entertaining. Thank you for posting !

My dad owned a psychedelic teen club called the ‘Illusion’ in a small town (Neenah Wisconsin) back in the sixties and the New Colony Six were a frequent headliner. Ronnie and his band mates would pack the house. Great days of phenomenal music. I wonder if Ronnie remembers that place?

Seeing guys like Ronnie still around make you wonder how musicians of today will fare when they're old. Will they have been so overexposed the public doesn't care or will want to see them even more? Most of us never saw the groups in concert or even tv, like Sullivan or American Bandstand. Today we like to see bands and singers from our youth, that bond of memories, many of them take advantage and still tour even though they're in their 70s or 80s. But we didn't have constant exposure to them like today. We still think it cool to see old bands from 'our day'. And pay for it. Some bands don't even have original members. Some are on their 3rd or 4th incarnation.

It wasn't clearly explained why the Original New Colony Six broke up, they seemed to be getting along very well but the Videos showed very few of them smiled during the Performances. Great Blending of Four Voices and wavy Harmonies.

thank you for this interview sir, I am a big fan of the new colony six , the band that brought rock and roll music back to the united states , according to the liner notes of the first lp on Centaur, just curious though , how come their or ronnies records arenot played on the radio , they are still good records, I have been a fan of music since I was 3 now I am 56

MeTV Radio from Chicago would probably play old songs from New Colony Six. Radio is no longer the same & there was never more than one oldies channel anyway, even back in the day. That’s why people turned to satellite radio.

@sardu554 ай бұрын
When you hear him, even without any idea, if you're from Chicago you know he is too. He has that post WWII Chicagoland accent which isn't as common as back then. My Dad had it. He notes he how common Chicago bands were as well; you forget the influence they had on American music.

Dick Biondi was not one of the main DJ’s on WLS during the Beatle/British Invasion Days & the timeframe of the famous Chicago garage bands. He was on prior to that timeframe & Larry Lujack was on after this timeframe. Ron Riley, Art Roberts & Clark Weber were the big DJ’s during this timeframe. They did mention Dex Card who was also a popular DJ during this time period that was from like 1963-68.
