It’s taken half a year, but there’s a new Hidden Sixties special coming your way from Public Radio Tulsa this July 4th.
Featuring songs that you may not have heard since the 1960s, if you’ve heard them at all, the Hidden Sixties Summer Special follows — albeit very slowly — on the heels of the Hidden Sixties Holiday Special, which aired during the 2013 Yuletide season. Once again, Scott Gregory (host of Public Radio Tulsa’s All This Jazz) and John Wooley (host of the same station’s Swing on This) combine to present an hour of ‘60s rock, jazz, and pop for which the adjectives “obscure” and “underplayed” may be too mild.
We’ve got sitars. We’ve got starlets. We’ve even got a senator. And we’ve got some star-spangled flag wavers in honor of our air date on the Fourth of July.
So, if you’re going to be around a radio or computer on Independence Day between eight and nine p.m., Tulsa time, and you’re an adventurous listener, may I humbly suggest you tune in? In the Tulsa area, we’re at 89.5 on the FM dial. Every place else in the known universe, we can be accessed absolutely free atpublicradiotulsa.org on the World Wide Web.
